Household Robots Market Trends

The ongoing expansion of AI technologies marks a significant milestone in the household robots industry. Companies are actively developing new robot models with advanced features and functionalities. The shift from single-task robots (e.g., vacuum cleaners) to multi-functional ones such as the Samsung Jet Bot AI+ with object recognition and self-emptying features is being witnessed in the market. Additionally, specialized robots targeting specific needs such as pet care, elderly assistance, and entertainment are emerging. For instance, in January 2024, LG, an electronics company, revealed its two-legged smart home AI robot as a ”moving smart home hub”. In addition to providing users with information about device status, updates & alerts for unusual activity, the small robot can answer questions, connect to smart home applications, and send notifications such as weather updates, transportation updates, personal schedules & even medication reminders.
 

A prominent trend in the household robot market is multi-functionality. Multi-functional domestic robots offer enhanced convenience to users by consolidating multiple tasks into a single device. Rather than purchasing separate appliances or gadgets for different purposes, users can invest in a single multi-functional robot that can perform a variety of tasks efficiently and effectively. A robotic vacuum cleaner may not only vacuum floors but also mop them simultaneously, providing users with a comprehensive cleaning solution in a single device. Similarly, robotic lawnmowers may include features such as automatic watering systems and security surveillance functionalities.
