Dreame Cyber X robotic vacuum

Robotic vacuums is usually a little unsettling already, however Dreame’s Cyber X takes it up a stage by sprouting chunky treaded “legs” and hauling itself up a full staircase like a tiny cleansing tank. In particular person, it navigated each up and down with shocking confidence, utilizing its treads horizontally quite than really stepping. The vacuum itself docks contained in the climbing rig, so it’s extra about getting your bot to the following flooring than scrubbing the steps, which nonetheless appears like a good commerce if you happen to hate hauling home equipment round.

OlloBot

CES loves a companion robotic, however OlloBot is perhaps the primary one we’ve met that’s half cyber pet, half penguin, half ET and one way or the other comes with a heat, furry, telescoping neck. Its “face” is mainly a pill for expressions, photographs and messages, and it’s meant to evolve a character over time based mostly on how your family interacts with it.

Its 16-inch show can bodily increase sideways into ultra-wide codecs, turning flight sims and racing video games into full cockpit experiences on the press of a few keys. It’s impractical, faintly ridiculous and completely the sort of CES idea we hope survives lengthy sufficient to flee the demo flooring.

Lenovo ThinkBook XD Rollable

If the Legion Professional Rollable is extreme, the ThinkBook XD Rollable is philosophically complicated. Its versatile show doesn’t simply develop taller, it wraps over the lid to create a “world-facing” display screen for folks sitting throughout from you, which feels both futuristic or deeply pointless relying in your temper and scenario (perhaps that is the proper system for resort check-ins and different factors of sale?).
