Berlin: In a revolutionary step to change human lives, companies introduced their latest inventions which turn an ordinary home into a smart home at Europe's largest tech show Internationale Funkausstellung (IFA) in Berlin.
The smart home is a gradual process where consumers start with one or two smart gadgets then build on that.
South Korean electronics company Samsung introduced a voice-controlled 'Assistant Chef Robot' which helps in cooking. The robot arm helps with tasks such as adding salt to a sauce or stirring a pot.
The company also showcased a whole smart house on the exhibition grounds. It is called the Tiny House and set up with the latest connected gadgets, such as a smart doorbell that broadcasts a video of the person ringing on the Samsung fridge. The Smart Hub fridge has a screen on the front which can be used to connect to the internet, turn on lights, heating, and many other tasks.
But some consumers are still reluctant to install smart home appliances.
