ILIFE's contribution to CES 2019 came with the unveiling of its A9 Series of robot cleaners, which are specifically touted as "[robot vacuums with senses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krcher-rvf-7-comfort-extra)." The A9 and A9s robots that make up the A9 Series introduce the next generation of products from the robot vacuum brand, which feature upgraded PanoView Navigation and Gen 3 CyclonePower Cleaning Systems.

The robots boast sleek record vinyl exteriors and powerful internal controls to support a smart cleaning experience at home. The A9 robot boasts the ability to "see" its surroundings thanks to the inclusion of a [live-vision camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-bespoke-ai-jet-bot-steam-ultra) and an Alexa-compatible speech recognition system allows the bot to "hear" orders from owners and interpret given commands. Taking this technology a step further, the A9s include an artificial vibrating water tank for [sweeping and mopping](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/narwal-freo-z10-ultra).
