The consumer electronics manufacturer has joined forces with delivery company Instacart in the hopes of generating "a simple, convenient and technology-driven grocery shopping experience" for users.

Instacart Chief Product Officer Daniel Danker, said: "We’ve all dreamt of a refrigerator that could replenish itself, and now thanks to this partnership with Samsung, that’s no longer the stuff of science fiction."

Samsung AI Family Hub+ refrigerators equipped with the appliance maker’s AI Vision Inside camera technology will also gain the Instacart functionality this year through a software update, according to the announcement.

Meanwhile, the company's inhouse product AI Vision can regonise nearly 40 foodstuffs, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, and users can also add the names and expiration dates of any items that are not already in the system.
