BISSELL
Embracing AI, BISSELL is now developing intelligent, robotic-vacuum technology to carry their tradition of excellence + innovation into the hands-free future.
The Challenge
Over its 140 years BISSELL has earned a reputation for building products as easy to use as they are powerful and deep-cleaning. As they embarked on their plans for a robotic, hands-free vacuum that met their high standards, BISSELL believed they could bring even more to their customersโ experience by integrating AI, and partnered with Twisthink to discover the best possible AI experience for their new design.
Work Summary
In the toolbox:
Twisthink collaborated with the team at BISSELL to understand what users desired most from their robotic vacuum, propelling BISSELโs technology and intentional product design forward.
Our research led us to:
- Embed an artificial intelligence (AI) feature to enhance accuracy and improve the userโs experienceย
- Add connectivity + controls capabilities within the robot
- Design a digital user interface (UI) for managing the robotโs capabilities
- Develop algorithms used within the UI for a true end-to-end IoT system
The impact
This cloud-connected, AI-enabled robot vacuum, ICONpetโข, allows owners to easily schedule cleanings, remotely activate their vacuum, and receive status updates via their mobile app.
Remote tech support, performance + features updatesโplus the teamโs deep learning about AI and IoTโbuild on BISSELLโs legacy of excellence and innovation.
Positively
quotable.
โTwisthink was able to take fuzzy inputs and work with us to make sense of them. Weโve gained new tech competencies that have enhanced our core team, better preparing us for the future.โ

started.
Digital transformation,
with a twist.
