The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 once again became a global stage for the unveiling of cutting-edge technology and innovative products. Held in Las Vegas, this year’s event showcased an array of devices aiming to reshape how people live, work, and engage with their surroundings. The event saw participation from tech giants and emerging startups, each bringing forth ideas that push the boundaries of current technology.
While some products are still in conceptual phases, others are closer to being commercially available. From smart health monitoring mirrors to biodegradable batteries, CES 2025 highlighted both futuristic designs and practical tools ready to enter the daily lives of consumers.
360° AI-Powered Body Scanning Health Mirror
Among the most talked-about products was the 360° AI-Powered Body Scanning Health Mirror presented by Withings. This sleek, high-tech mirror stands out not only for its appearance but for its integrated health screening capabilities. Equipped with artificial intelligence, it conducts full-body scans that assess heart function, weight, metabolic activity, body composition, and even lung capacity. It also tracks daily habits such as sleep and physical activity, compiling data to offer personalized health insights.
Although this mirror is not yet available for purchase, Withings plans to introduce its AI assistant within its existing health service in 2025. The mirror offers a glimpse into how routine health checkups might shift to home settings in the future, combining real-time data gathering with aesthetic design.
World’s First Stretchable Screen by Samsung
Samsung drew attention with the introduction of the world’s first stretchable screen. While flexible screens have been in development for years, Samsung’s latest offering takes flexibility to a new level. Unlike foldable screens that bend at specific joints, the stretchable screen can extend and reshape in multiple directions without distorting display quality.
This innovation could pave the way for new types of wearable devices, reconfigurable gadgets, and flexible displays for industries like healthcare, gaming, and transportation. By making screens that can adjust to their environment or user needs, Samsung is positioning this technology as a key element in future smart devices.
Roborock Saros Z70
Another remarkable product was the Roborock Saros Z70, launched as the first mass-produced robotic vacuum cleaner with a five-axis mechanical arm. This OmniGrip arm allows the device to move small household items such as socks or toys, which typically block robot vacuums from cleaning thoroughly. The Z70 also boasts a high suction power of 22,000Pa, dual rotating mops, and an adjustable chassis called AdaptiLift. Its navigation system, powered by StarSight 2.0 AI, identifies and avoids obstacles with precision.
While the machine offers high-end features, including a multifunctional docking station that handles charging and cleaning, its steep price tag and limitations on carpet surfaces mean it may not be suitable for all users. However, it serves as a step forward in the direction of smarter home automation.
Realbotix’s Humanoid Robots
The CES 2025 also brought attention to the field of robotics with Realbotix’s humanoid robots. Designed to imitate human appearance and speech, these robots come in three models—a bust, a modular version, and a full-body model. Prices range from $10,000 for the bust to $175,000 for the full-body robot. Each robot is fitted with 17 motors that control facial expressions, and buyers can customize the robots with specific voices and features.
The full-body version includes a wheeled base, allowing it to move around a room, although it lacks the ability to walk. Realbotix’s presentation focused on the growing use of AI in companionship, raising questions about social roles robots might take in future households. Despite their high cost, these machines offer insights into what future human-robot interaction might look like.
Aptera Solar Vehicle
The Aptera solar vehicle presented a different direction in innovation by focusing on sustainability. This two-seater electric car is designed for high efficiency and daily use, powered in part by built-in solar panels. The vehicle can generate enough solar energy to drive up to 40 miles per day under ideal conditions, significantly reducing the need for external charging. Its aerodynamic design and lightweight build further help in maximizing energy usage.
While not yet widely available, the Aptera car reflects ongoing efforts to merge renewable energy with everyday transportation. With limited seating and range, its market may be narrow, but it remains a strong example of applying green technology in practical mobility solutions.
Flint Paper Battery
In the area of sustainable energy, the Flint Paper Battery drew considerable attention. Developed by a startup from Singapore, this battery is made from cellulose and is fully biodegradable. Its flexible design makes it suitable for use in wearable devices, small medical instruments, and other low-power applications.
The battery naturally decomposes in around six weeks, offering a promising alternative to conventional lithium-ion batteries that pose environmental risks. Though still in the development phase, the product represents a growing interest in reducing electronic waste and using renewable materials. If successfully scaled, this invention could influence how energy storage solutions are developed in future low-power devices.
Cosmos AI platform by Nvidia
Nvidia presented its Cosmos AI platform, aimed at transforming robotics and autonomous vehicles. By using high-quality 3D environments generated with Omniverse simulations, Cosmos helps train robots and self-driving cars more effectively. The tool is designed to solve problems related to lack of real-world training data by offering highly realistic simulations.
Nvidia also announced plans to make the Cosmos code open source, which could help researchers and developers access and improve upon the platform. The technology is expected to play a role in the development of smarter, safer autonomous systems. Its influence could extend across sectors like delivery services, personal mobility, and warehouse logistics.
Ozlo Sleepbuds
Among consumer wellness products, Ozlo Sleepbuds were introduced as a solution for people struggling with sleep in noisy surroundings. These earbuds are built for comfort and noise cancellation, making them suitable for long-term use during sleep. Their ergonomic shape ensures a snug fit without causing discomfort. While detailed technical specifications are still limited, the Sleepbuds aim to improve rest quality by minimizing disruptive noises. Their design is focused on simplicity and comfort rather than advanced features, appealing to a specific group of users like urban residents and light sleepers. In a competitive market, their success may depend on pricing and performance in real-world settings.
Samsung’s Galaxy Ring 2
Samsung’s Galaxy Ring 2 was also launched as a wearable health tracker with enhanced functionality. This ring collects health data such as heart rate, blood oxygen level, sleep patterns, and stress indicators. Its small, lightweight form makes it easy to wear continuously, offering users a discreet way to monitor their health. With better battery life and deeper integration with Samsung’s ecosystem, the Galaxy Ring 2 can deliver personalized insights based on daily metrics. Though it does not have standalone features and relies on other Samsung devices, it adds value by being less intrusive than larger wearable gadgets. It appeals to those looking for accurate health tracking without bulky equipment.
SOLIX X1 Solar Battery by Anker
Finally, Anker introduced its SOLIX X1 solar battery, designed to store energy for home use. This modular battery system captures and stores solar power, helping households reduce dependence on the grid during peak hours or outages. Its compact structure and intelligent energy management system ensure efficient usage of stored power. It is compatible with various solar panel systems and is targeted at homeowners who are looking for reliable backup energy. While the initial investment might be high, the product fits into broader trends of residential energy independence and renewable power usage. As solar panel adoption grows, storage solutions like the SOLIX X1 could become more common in modern homes.
