It can feel like some home appliances are being superfluously AI'd, without any real call from consumers for that level of automation from their fridge. But automated self-sufficiency has always been at the core of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Plus, current AI robot vacuum features are still pretty utilitarian, merely focusing on making navigation more nimble, obstacle avoidance more perceptive, and cleaning performance more thorough — all fundamental parts of the robot vacuum experience. Here are the three main ways robot vacuums are using AI in 2026:

“People were dying and we didn’t know why,” Cornman told me. “We didn’t understand the physics of why the planes were crashing.” The deadly gusts were thought to be blowing in from the ocean or from thunderstorms outside the airports. But the danger turned out to be right above them. In the late seventies, researchers at NCAR and the University of Chicago discovered that the crashes were caused by microbursts—sudden, violent downdrafts. In a microburst, a storm cloud dumps cool air and rain straight down, like water from a broken awning. The air spreads horizontally after it lands, so the pilot thinks he’s flying into a headwind at first. He lifts the plane’s nose slightly and decreases the engines’ thrust. Then the downdraft hits, followed by a vicious tailwind, sending the aircraft to the ground.
If we expect a drink to contain sugar, we enjoy it more, even if it actually contains just artificial sweeteners. Conversely, when people were expecting an artificially sweetened drink but were sneakily given a sugary one, they enjoyed the sugary drink less.
