Core77 ZTE's Booth

Core77 Humanscale Sit-stand office solutions were clearly on the minds of the Humanscale team! They were showing a few options at their booth—some permanent, others removable.
Core77 Toyota Concept-i and Concept-i RIDE Toyota's Concept-i range has now expanded.
Core77 Toyota Concept-i Concept-i is Toyora's attempt at making a friendly car UX—more of a companion than a chauffeur.
Core77 Toyota Concept-i The driver is still in control of Concept-i, but the car uses biometric sensors to read their emotions. So, if the driver is feeling too sad to drive, Concept-i will take over and get them to their destination safely.

Core77 Toyota e-Palette Concept Vehicle The wheels are a little funky...

Core77 Honda's 3E Robots Honda's new emotional 3E robots follow you around and get sad when you tell them you're sad.
Core77 Honda's 3E Robots Even after a 15 minute presentation, we're not exactly clear on what they do besides attempt empathy.
Honda's 3E Robots This one can go off-road!
Core77 Honda's 3E Robots We're not saying these little guys arewrong, but we're also not saying they're right.

Core77 Nissan's Booth
Core77 Nissan Intelligent Mobility Nissan went in an interesting direction with their new software development that quite literally reads your mind as you drive. The 15 minute in-person presentation made zero sense whatsoever, but this video does a solid job explaining.
Core77 Nissan IMx This zero-emission concept vehicle from Nissan was unveiled at the Tokyo motor show late last year—but it was just as cool seeing it a second time.

Core77 Mitsubishi Electric EMIRAI 4 Mitsubishi Electric took a directional approach with their autonomous EMIRAI 4 concept car. We first saw the vehicle at the Tokyo Motor Show, but this time we could sit in it!
Core77 Mitsubishi Electric EMIRAI 4 While inside the car, drivers have the option to map their route and search for places to add to their route on a large screen attached to the center console. The dial attached to the screen adds a tactile element to the interaction—you can move it around similar to the Microsoft Surface Studio's wireless knob.

Core77 Test Driving If you want to sit in any vehicle at CES, this is what you can expect.
Core77 Extreme Audio At the vehicle portion of the show, there were concept cars and then there were.....these.
Core77 Extreme Audio This is probably the most impractical thing we saw at the entire show.
Core77 Aeolus Robotics Besides maybe thisrobot that uses your already existing vacuum to clean for you. Imagine an outer body experience (or nightmare) where you're watching yourself vacuum, but instead of a human, you are a robot. That's kind of what this is. Just to reiterate: It doesn't have a built-in vacuum, it uses the one you already own—so this is laziness in its purest form.
Core77 VR with Dell VR baseball fun with Dell. I tried the VR boxing, and it didn't go well on my end.

Core77 Sleep Number Booth The Sleep Number booth was definitely our favorite booth at CES.

Core77 FORPHEUS Table Tennis Robot Omron's FORPHEUS table tennis robot takes the social aspect out of a classic human versus human sport—kind of sad but also useful for professionals when training alone.
Core77 iPal The feature most demonstrated at CES was the iPal's ability to sing Happy Birthday to your child, occasionally in sync with other iPals. We understand that singing this song once a year is incredibly annoying and a total waste of time, so we're glad to see technology can free parents of that burden.

We understand that singing this song once a year is incredibly annoying and a total waste of time, so we're glad to see technology can free parents of that burden.
Core77 Buddy Similar to iPal but a little more friendly looking, Buddy is a companion robot programmed to keep your home safe, entertain your kids and keep you connected with loved ones.
Core77 Luka Reading bedtime stories to kids is a drag with little to no gain on the adult's end. Owl-shaped robot Luka is designed to entirely replace the parent during this process. What a relief!
Core77 TwinswHeel The TwinswHeel autonomous delivery droid's rugged design allows it to deliver packages year-round. But can it ring your doorbell?
Core77 Mito Underwater Drone Navatics' Mito underwater drone is able to capture 4K photo and footage of life underwater.
Core77 Mito Underwater Drone Its live-streaming capabilities allow us to see what may be too difficult for human divers to capture. Let's just hope people still go diving for fun in the future.
Core77 FIFISH P3 Underwater Drone Here's another underwater robot—this one received a CES Innovation award for Robotics and Drones.
Core77 Toymail Talkie Don't let this Toymail Talkie fool you. He looks like an innocent, non-robotic stuffed monster, but he's actually possessed by Amazon Alexa.
Core77 FoldiMate Laundry robots were everywhere, and they are some of the worst offenders. Perhaps it's our New York state of mind, but who in their right minds has space for a laundry-folding robot that's larger than a normal human? And seriously, how lazy can you be? Two prime examples are Laundroid and FoldiMate.

Core77 Candy Beam Candy Beam is a new way to receive candy from strangers! Mixed feelings.
