Driverless People Mover
Toyota Motor Corporation showed off its e-Palette
self-driving test vehicle at CES. The self-driving vehicle is designed
to move both people and things. Toyota says it plans to provide the
block-shaped electric cars to other companies, including Amazon, Pizza
Hut and Uber.
Roll-Up TV
Of all the televisions demonstrated at CES 2018, one of the most unusual is a huge model that can roll up like a newspaper. LG Display made a 162- centimeter-long (64-inch) model.
It is powered by the same OLED technology used in TVs. The company explains the technology can let users hide the display, or lower it to different heights to change picture size.
Aibo Puppy Robot
Some people might remember Sony Corporation’s first Aibo robot. The
mechanical dog was launched in 1999. It was considered revolutionary at
the time, but the company eventually stopped producing it.
But the Aibo robot was brought back for CES 2018. Aibo means companion in Japanese, and the newest robot dog is designed to be just that.
Sony says Aibo can form emotional connections with individual family members and teach nurturing skills. It uses artificial intelligence, or AI, to react to touch and voice commands.
Aibo communicates through body language, such as eye, ear, and tail movements, and voice sounds.
Face Unlocking Car
Chinese automaker BYTON
presented a new electric sport utility vehicle, or SUV, that can also
drive itself. The company says the smart vehicle uses facial recognition
technology to open the doors. The car is controlled from a large
computer screen. Sensors continuously measure the driver’s heart rate
and blood pressure.
