CES 2025, the annual tech show featuring the latest gadgets and gizmos, kicked off its media day Monday in Las Vegas with driverless tractors, a magical skincare mirror, instant hormone tests and more robots than ever before. first.
The multi-day event, hosted by the Consumer Technology Association, welcomed more than 4,500 exhibitors showcasing laptops, TVs, wearables and smart home devices – with most featuring artificial intelligence enhancements.
One of the toys that attracted early attention was a fuzzy, pastel-colored robot called Mirumi, which can grab onto objects and turn its head to look around. Created by Yukai Engineering, the robot is meant to act like a baby – so if you get too close it will run away.
Enchanted Tools showed off its orange Mirokai robot, which it hopes can one day help care for the elderly in nursing homes or work in hospitality and customer service roles in hotels, food courts and restaurants.
Tombot Inc. brought its hyper-realistic puppy robots to the show, which are designed for elderly individuals or those with health issues who can no longer care for a pet but would enjoy the comfort of a companion.
On a more industrial scale, agricultural giant John Deere rolled out fully autonomous tractors, lawn mowers and dump trucks that seek to solve labor shortages.
“When we talk about autonomy, we mean complete autonomy,” said Jahmy Hindman, chief technology officer at John Deere. “Nobody’s in the car.”
Samsung showed off its latest smart TVs – which have become much smarter thanks to artificial intelligence.
Its new Frame Pro TV, along with other 2025 TVs, will be enabled with AI features like Click to Search, which allows viewers to search for more information about whatever they’re watching. For example, those who see a delicious dish on their screen can simply click the button and the AI will produce a recipe for the meal.
Samsung’s AI TVs can also connect to other smart devices in the home – providing real-time security alerts. They can even play a recap of your pet’s misbehavior when you get home.
The South Korean electronics giant also unveiled a magic mirror that can help fine-tune your skincare game.
The Micro LED Beauty Mirror scans your face using AI to analyze your wrinkles, pores, redness and melanin.
A check mark graphic indicates you’re doing well, while a red exclamation mark next to a category indicates you need improvement—but the mirror immediately recommends a skincare product to take your routine to the next level. Right now, the mirror only pushes products from Amorepacific, a leading Korean beauty brand.
Meanwhile, Dell showed off a new computer monitor with a camera that tracks your head movements so it can stream audio directly to your ears — a potential new favorite for gamers.
As it directs audio to each of your ears, it will block the sound in the opposite ear—the same method used in noise-canceling headphones.
There are also a number of smart devices that aim to improve your health.
Eli Health introduced its Hormometer, a one-step, at-home testing system that can measure cortisol and progesterone levels.
The test — which looks similar to a pregnancy or COVID test, with a small window that reads your results — requires a small sample of saliva.
After holding the cartridge in your mouth for a minute, you can use your phone’s camera to read the test results based on color intensity and patterns.
Eli’s app then provides personalized recommendations based on your results regarding stress, sleep, athletic performance and fertility.
