Tomorrow’s world – new innovations

Washing machine technology of the future

Here at Smart Cow, we do love a bit of technology and when we saw this latest innovation from Panasonic we felt it needed to be shared.

At this year’s IFA in Berlin, the world’s leading trade show for consumer electronics and home appliances, Panasonic unveiled a prototype concept for a washing machine that not only washes clothes, but dries and folds them. Its technology is so intuitive that you don’t have to spend time sorting through the washing as a robotic arm scans the label on each item and decides how it needs to be washed.

So, while the ‘Sustainable Maintainer’ might take some time yet before we see it in shops, it is a great example of how companies are working to create products that encompass artificial intelligence, robotics and the internet of things (IoT). It also gives us a little glimpse into the future.
