We get tired of seeing socks on the floor and going through all that back-breaking work to pick them up. Thankfully, the Roborock Saros Z70 robot has the answer to those problems! The AI-powered vacuum robot features an arm and a claw that picks up those socks and other objects on the floor for you. However, it can't lift heavier objects, like shoes, as it has a maximum weight limit of 10.5 ounces.

For a hefty price of $3,499, Lenovo's ThinkBook Gen 6 rollable could be all yours! It's designed to vertically expand the existing 120Hz OLED display from 15" to 16.7" just by pressing a button or through a hand gesture. Owners can use it to scroll through long documents or web pages and even position two apps atop each other.

Japanese beer company Kirin introduced the first-ever electric salt spoon at CES 2025. This spoon applies a weak current to your saliva, enhancing the salty taste of food in your mouth. So those with low-sodium diets can get a little kick out of this and make better healthy food choices. Users can choose from four saltiness levels---each one represents the electric current strength.

At CES 2025, Flint, a Singaporean startup, unveiled a flexible, rechargeable, and flame-resistant paper battery. The company says it's more scalable, affordable, and sustainable compared to lithium-ion batteries.

This battery uses cellulose as a component, enabling the distribution of ions between the anode and cathode. Additionally, they can be made as small as a coin battery or integrated into a smartwatch strap. In the future, the battery could be embedded in an electric car door or airplane wing. After their use, the batteries decompose within six weeks.

The Autokeybo is a nifty, total keyboard package unveiled at CES 2025. With a simple hand gesture, users can switch between standard keyboard keys, a number pad, and a touchpad. All these components are separated into two halves. While the left side features the number pad and the left side of the keyboard, the right part contains the touchpad and the right side of the keyboard.

However, only one component on one side can be used. To switch between them, a user has to move their hands---captured by an AI camera to change the keyboard. Additionally, the device also comes with a Linux computer, a mini HDMI port, and a USB-C port.

The Circular Ring 2 is a step in the right direction for wearable health tech. It's also an improved version compared to the first release, which had some flaws. For instance, the smart ring has ECG reading functionality and better sensors. It also lasts up to eight days on a single charge, even as it monitors sleep stages. Customers can choose from black, gold, silver, and rose gold. The Circular Ring 2 is made of titanium and uses the Kira AI assistant to provide insights for the wearer.

Rictor revealed that owners could take a 40-minute flight with a maximum speed of 40mph with the Skyrider X1. The electric motorcycle would feature a 10.5Kwh battery and four axes with eight paddles on the roof, enabling vertical take-off and landing.
