The future of smart homes is here, and it’s more intelligent, interactive, and integrated than ever before. At CES 2025, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. is showcasing a range of groundbreaking innovations that promise to revolutionize the way we live, work, and play in our homes.
The smart home is evolving to include advanced capabilities that go beyond simple automation. Imagine digital assistants that interact with you like friends and family, or refrigerators that monitor inventory, generate recipes, and alert you when attention is needed. Qualcomm wants to be at the forefront of this evolution, driving significant advancements in the smart home and life industry with their expertise in generative AI and edge artificial intelligence.
Generative AI has opened up a world of possibilities across various industries, and the smart home sector is no exception. As AI becomes more integrated into devices, the vision of seamless human-to-machine communication is becoming a reality. Edge AI, which allows more processing to occur on the device itself, results in faster, more secure, and highly personalized experiences.
Qualcomm is introducing new IoT solutions frameworks aimed at enhancing the development of smart home and life products. These frameworks, part of the Qualcomm IoT Solutions Framework, are designed to create, deploy, and scale AI-rich IoT applications efficiently. The new solutions include:
- AI Chatbot for Home Appliances
- Interactive Multimedia AI Optimization
- Home Service Robot
Qualcomm wants 2025 to mark the dawn of a new era in smart home evolution. The vision is that devices will run on high-powered processors capable of handling complex AI tasks independently. Qualcomm has developed an AI chatbot that can engage in real-time interactive conversations, with responses generated through a large language model. This chatbot can be integrated into a wide variety of smart home devices, providing true service and convenience.
One device ripe for innovation is the television. Qualcomm’s Interactive Multimedia solution will enable smarter TVs with new capabilities that offer fresh experiences for consumers and new service opportunities for the media and telecom industry. These AI capabilities will allow users to control their TV and connected smart home devices with natural language, enabling experiences like spur-of-the-moment watch parties, real-time language translation, personalized movie recommendations, and more.
Qualcomm is also showcasing a Home Service Robot developed in collaboration with AI solution developer APLUX and Ti5 Robot. This robot integrates the AI chatbot with Qualcomm’s robotics platforms, enabling it to respond to voice commands and engage in natural language conversations. The Qualcomm QCS8550 processor empowers the humanoid robot with robust computing, sensing, decision-making, and execution capabilities, making it a versatile and reliable companion in various complex environments.
The innovations showcased by Qualcomm at CES 2025 are just the beginning. From chatbots and smarter televisions to robot assistants, the future of smart homes seems brighter, and Qualcomm is putting its mark on the future leading the way.
