Dyson unveils new products in Berlin

Dyson introduced 10 new products in Berlin, placing artificial intelligence, machine learning and connected technology at the center of its latest lineup.

Among the products presented was the Dyson CameraJet, which combines toothbrushing, interdental cleaning and water flossing in one device. Its 100,000-pixel macro-lens camera works with the Gap Optical Targeting machine-learning system to identify gaps between teeth in real time and spray oral-care water into those areas.

Dyson said the device targets common problems such as missed gaps between teeth, inconsistent flossing and brushing below the recommended routine. The company developed CameraJet through six years of work by 661 engineers. The system trained on more than 470,000 dental images, scans 28 live images per second and uses 16 million lines of code to help target areas where plaque most often builds up.

The company also presented floor-cleaning products. The Dyson R3 Nurovi Spot+Scrub UV uses ultraviolet light, AI imaging and green-laser-like illumination to identify about 200 household substances and objects, repeating cleaning over a spot until the stain disappears. Its self-cleaning wet roller uses water heated to as much as 70 degrees Celsius, while a 30,000-pascal motor supports wet and dry cleaning.

The Dyson R2 Nurovi Wash+Dry uses Reuleaux triangular pads to reach corners and edges. Its Twin-capture system separates fine and large debris, while an acoustic piezo sensor detects dust levels and floor type in real time and adjusts suction and cleaning automatically. The Dyson Nurovi R1 Dry focuses on dry-floor cleaning with Twin-capture technology and 21,000 pascals of suction. Dyson also showed the redesigned W1 PencilWash, with a more absorbent roller, a hygienic waste system and self-cleaning technology in its charging station. The HushJet technology used in the company’s air products is expanding from air purification into heating and cooling products.
