The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas once again dazzled attendees with a glimpse into the future of technology. From AI-powered health devices to supercomputers that fit in the palm of your hand, CES 2025 showcased innovations that could revolutionize our lives. Here’s a closer look at some of the most exciting highlights:

Companionship and Joy:

• Mirumi, the Shy Robot Companion: This adorable, plush robot from Yukai Engineering is designed to evoke positive emotions. Mirumi clips onto your bag and uses sensors to observe the world around it, even shyly hiding its face when approached. This simple yet charming robot is expected to be available soon for around $70.

Health and Wellness Reimagined:

• Withings Omnia: Your Personal Health Consultant: Withings, known for its innovative health-monitoring devices, unveiled Omnia, a smart mirror that takes health tracking to the next level. Omnia performs full-body scans to analyze body composition and integrates data from other Withings devices to provide a comprehensive view of your health. Equipped with AI powered by large language models like ChatGPT, Omnia can even answer your health questions and facilitate telemedicine consultations.
• Circular Ring 2: ECG on Your Finger: Circular takes smart ring technology a step further with the Ring 2, the first ring capable of performing an electrocardiogram (ECG) to detect atrial fibrillation (AFib). This FDA-approved feature, along with its ability to track blood oxygen saturation, temperature, sleep, and more, makes it a powerful health-monitoring tool. The ring also boasts an AI assistant that provides insights into your health data.
• Ozlo Sleepbuds: The Secret to a Peaceful Night’s Sleep: These innovative earbuds double as earplugs, blocking out noise for a restful night’s sleep. Ozlo Sleepbuds play ambient sounds for up to 10 hours without needing a Bluetooth connection and automatically stop playback when they detect you’ve fallen asleep. The case even monitors environmental factors like light and temperature that could affect your sleep.
• L’Oréal’s Cell BioPrint: Personalized Skincare Powered by Proteomics: L’Oréal introduced a groundbreaking device that uses proteomics technology to analyze your skin’s biological age and identify biomarkers that contribute to aging. In just five minutes, Cell BioPrint provides personalized recommendations to improve your skincare routine and address potential issues like discoloration and enlarged pores.

The Future of Computing and Robotics:

• NVIDIA’s Project Digits: Democratizing AI with a Personal Supercomputer: NVIDIA unveiled Digits, a mini-supercomputer that offers the computing power of 200 billion parameters, 1,000 times greater than a laptop. This compact and affordable device (priced at $3,000) could revolutionize AI research and development across various fields, including medicine and pharmaceuticals.
• Apogee Ultra: A Robotic Exoskeleton for a Stronger Workforce: German Bionic introduced the Apogee Ultra, a powerful robotic exoskeleton designed to assist with heavy lifting. This device can make a 41-kilogram weight feel like just 5 kilograms, reducing strain and the risk of injuries for workers in industries like construction and healthcare. The Apogee Ultra uses AI to adapt to the user’s movements and provide optimal support.

CES 2025 highlighted the incredible potential of technology to enhance our lives, improve our well-being, and drive progress across various industries. These innovations offer a glimpse into a future where technology is more personalized, powerful, and accessible than ever before.
