Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The WEIRDEST Tech at CES 2024”.
Ces is officially over, which means it’s time to talk about the weird stuff, and so today’s video will also be a little weird in regards to its structure, which stories are quick bits. We don’t know. Ai startup rabbit came out of nowhere and took CES by storm with the announcement of the R1, a $ 200 device that dares to ask the question what? If the Google Assistant was good, CEO and founder, Jesse Leu claims the slick-looking device co-designed with teenage engineering, is powered by a large action model or Lam lamb. Thank you that can, similarly to the $ 700 Humane AI pin act as a sort of universal voice assistant, performing actions on Computer Applications, as if it was a human with a soul. It thinks it’s people. Apparently the model was trained by humans using popular apps. So it could learn, for example, what a settings icon or an order now button looks like, even though those should be pretty self-explanatory.
But if it’s still too dumb to figure something out, you can enter training mode and teach the device specific tasks yourself. As an example, Leu says you could walk the R1 through the steps to remove a watermark from a Photoshop image and after just 30 seconds of processing, the device will then be able to automatically remove all waterm marks going forward. It’S kind of weird that I have to teach the AI how to steal content, but whatever. Why would they make that the demo does? The R1 has really fired up the AI, True Believers and to be fair, a $ 200 device with no subscription that promises that it is what everyone thought Siri and Alexa were going to be.
It does sound cool. It also, maybe sounds too good to be true, but that didn’t stop the company from selling out two 10,000 unit, pre-order batches in Just 2 days, and can 20,000 Tech Bros be wrong. Automakers made a splash at CES this year with Hyundai and announcing they want to make hydrogen cool again now that everyone is kind of cooling off on EVS, the South Korean Company claims it wants to help make the infrastructure for a hydrogen society and fuel it by Making hydrogen gas out of plastic and sewage Is that real yep? What about water, Hyundai’s, head of fuel cell development says sewage can be digested by a microorganism to create biog gas and that bio gas can be upgraded into hydrogen. To be fair. Anything is an upgrade when you’re technically poop made from poop that’s what biogas is.
Oh, like methane, other automakers had different ideas. Honda decided to promote their upcoming zero series of EVS by not talking much about them and showing concept cars instead, allegedly the first zero series model is based on one of the concepts, but we have. I have no idea what that means, but at least they actually make cars LG decided to design a car just to advertise what they think the future looks like they put a fridge in the front of the cabin, so it could pick up groceries for you, since The car is autonomous, something that’s really easy to say about a fake car. If you decide you want to drive it, however, a steering wheel will pop out on command that doesn’t drive the car it’ll just make you feel like you’re driving again, you cannot drive it, but all 700. The displays inside the concept.
Look great nice job, LG Samsung reintroduced their Bali robot that debuted at CES 20120, but now it’s got a new look and may actually be released this year. If you didn’t know, Bali is a ball, sat on three wheels, that patrols your house and sends you texts about what’s happening at home, while you’re, not there like a six-year-old that got a hold of someone’s smartphone. I move my Legos according to the YouTube video Bali has a project proor. It can use to entertain your dog with Bird videos or extravagantly. Welcome you back home other than the projector. It seems a lot like LG’s q9 robot we previously covered, but without the eyes that look like they’ve seen things they can never unsee. If Bali doesn’t do enough for your dog, there’s the Oro dog companion, a smartbot specifically designed as a pet Nanny. It connects to an automatic pet feeder to dispense meals, but the robot can dispense, treat by itself and has a ball thrower for playing fetch. It even has two-way audio and a video screen, so you can talk to your dog for just $ 800. You can have a Paris social relationship with your own pet for people who, like the idea of having a dog, if you don’t feel like your dog, is doing enough for you, Hong Kong, based startup Zoo gears can help turn your Pooch into your personal pianist.
Sort of their device called the butter mhm. What consists of four light up buttons that you can train your dog to play and if you don’t want to give out the treats yourself there’s an upcoming feeder attachment that will automatically reward your dog. Now your hands are free enough to jam alongside phto in a two-piece band. Go on tour call yourselves Simon and raar funkle and you’ll be a hit. Why? Why do you want cuz? It’S cute. It looks cute, oh on the subject of do music, Japanese startup one by one music trained in AI to make music specifically for dogs struggling with separation anxiety.
Oh, this is perfect for all the dogs that will be taken care of by these robots. The company claims that many dogs adopted during the pandemic are having a hard time with their humans heading back to the office. Their solution is AI generated music.
You leave on when you head out for work, but they don’t know the difference sure it costs $ 7. A month, but one by one claims, your dog stress can be reduced by 84 % just by having their AI DJ Play Low Five beats to chill SL sniff butts to, which would be perfect if there were any butts around for them to sniff, but no one’s There but fret not cat lovers, there’s even some weird tech for you. A Swiss startup called Flappy showed off an AI powered cat door that locks automatically if your feline friend tries to bring in a mouse or other prey, because they’re lonely, as none of these pets, have friends yeah. That’S why the cat’s got a mouse in his mouth. He wants to be its friend, he wants a friend, but he doesn’t know how not to kill the mouse.
The company claims it has a unique and proprietary data set of videos featuring different cats in different lighting conditions, holding different things in their mouth. The startup also claims the cat. Flaps assessments are right, more than 90 % of the time, so you may still get the occasional Mouse but come on your cat works Works 30 minutes a day to try and put food on the table, and this is the thanks. It gets getting the door slammed. I only get 14 hours of sleep a day now it’s time for quick bits brought to you by SE. Sonic they’ve truly made our CES coverage here at TechLink, just a bit more special.
If somehow you haven’t heard yet seic makes some great power supplies, they’re energy, efficient, silent, fully modular and allaround great psus. We’Ve used them in several of our Builds on LTT over the years and hopefully many more to come. So, to help us say, thanks to seic, don’t kiss your power supply, that’s an electricity Hazard go check out what they have to offer at the link below and away. We now continue this special oops, all quick bits. Episode of TechLink.
It’S not part of a balanced breakfast. It’S too much sugar in a slightly expected move. Coler debuted, smart shower technology, so aluring, one tech radar journalist was nearly driven to public indecency. Just for a rinse, the company showed off a multi- sensory showering experience using their Anthem plus showering system, thankfully unrelated to the game. The tech allows users to control lighting, sound water temperature and flow and even steam.
The system can be controlled with Google, home or Amazon Alexa and costs only hundreds, not including the compatible thermostatic valve required for installation, though, to be fair, if you own a shower with six shower Outlets, you can afford a $ 22,000 valve. You could probably also afford the pure wash e930 Beday toilet seat that lets. You ask Google to clean your butt aside from voice control. The seat has motion activated, opening and closing UV selfcleaning and even a child safe mode. I wouldn’t let my child anywhere near this thing, but, okay, you don’t love them enough to have a clean butt if you like, looking at Birds but can’t be bothered to learn their names. Swarovski optic has a solution for you.
Their ax Vio are a set of 10x magnification binoculars that also features an AI that will identify over 9,000 species of birds and other Wildlife. Best part, is, you won’t know whether it’s making it up after identifying the subject text will pop up with a species name like a Bethesda RPG, even better, the binoculars are actually a camera. Now you can always remember the moment. You finally spotted a fluffy backed tit. Babler real bird bird facts, bird motion, capturing gloves, aren’t the newest Tech in the world, but what the Palm plug has going for. It is the fact that it doesn’t make you look like your idea of a hacker hasn’t been updated since the 80s.
Its minimalist design will no doubt make it more welcoming to patients with limited Mobility since Palm plugs creators designed it partially for therapeutic purposes, but it’s also got haptic feedback and can be pre-ordered for just 350 bucks, so you’re also allowed to use it for gaming or To bypass the virtual reality firewall protecting the greed, Corp servers, this ominous looking box with a the hand hole will give you a manicure in less than 25 minutes complete with a poison needle. Lest you remove your hand too. Early fear may be the mind killer, but this device called the Nimble, will give you killer Nails using Machine Vision, enabled sensors a tiny, robotic arm and a fan for quick drying. Nimble’S founder Omri Moran says he got the idea for the device after having to wait for his date to arrive, because she was trying to fix her botched manicure at home. He decided to invent a device, so he’d never have to wait at a table alone again and Adam X. Isn’T your typical CPR dummy he can breathe, his pupils can dilate and he can even piss blood.
Was this written by AI he’s tall he’s handsome? He pisses blood. The AI doesn’t know that we don’t piss blood, yet he was designed by the company medical X to possess the same skeletal and anatomical structure of a human to simulate a multitude of medical scenarios, everything from intubation and IV insertions to literally puncturing his lung or removing His limbs, apparently an update, is planned to give Adam x a Voice via GPT technology. I see no problems with putting AI inside of the robot, designed to be tortured, worked great for the attendees at Westworld. You turn it on it.
Just screams yeah. Ah turn me off turn me off and it would work great for me. If you came back on Monday for more Tech news, we promise it will be 100 % %, robot torture free just news – I mean – maybe a maybe a joke about robot torture. I you know, May .
