Mirumi, a shy robot that looks like a sloth
Source: The Verge
Mirumi is a small, furry robot that attaches to your purse or backpack. Using built-in sensors, it turns its head to look around the room with interest. But like a baby, Mirumi is a bit shy, so it may hide its face if touched or approached by strangers. Yukai Engineering, the company that developed Mirumi, plans to launch the bot through a crowdfunding campaign this year for an expected price of $70, The Verge reports .

This white box that looks like a toaster is actually a charger from Swippitt. It's designed to power a series of external batteries that fit into Swippitt's Link phone case, giving your device a little extra charge. When your battery is low, simply pop your phone into the device and it will automatically swap out the external battery for a fully charged one, without any cords or wireless charging stations.

The LG AeroCatTower is exactly what it sounds like: an air purifier that doubles as a cat tree. In addition to providing a heated place for your feline friend, it purifies the air from cat dander and even weighs your cat. The AeroCatTower connects to the LG ThinQ app, where you can see your cat’s weight and track how long they’ve been sleeping.

This jacket from Anker is just a concept for now, but with LED strips and perovskite solar cells wrapped around the cape, it really does look like cyberpunk 2077. It has a maximum input power of 30W, as well as a USB-C output that can be used to charge your phone.
Anime girls in capsules that can talk to you

The capsule contains 3D models of dancing anime girls. But they don't have to be anime girls: you can load any character onto the Character Livehouse's 1200p display, and it will interact with you using artificial intelligence. The capsule is equipped with cameras and microphones with sound recognition, allowing the character to detect your presence. Code 27, the company that developed the Character Livehouse, says the model can cheer you on in games and even "gently" wake you up. It's coming soon to Kickstarter for a price of $400 to $500.

The device looks like a regular side table, but it has a lamp under which you can grow plants. It also automatically waters the plants using a built-in reservoir and has a built-in speaker.
Slide-out keyboard

The AutoKeybo keyboard uses a built-in camera to detect the position of your hands and automatically switches between settings when you lift them slightly. It's supposed to help you "boost productivity" by eliminating the need to move your hands between the mouse and keyboard, and it's quite expensive at $700.
In addition, Nvidia announced a number of new products : the Cosmos WFM AI platform, the RTX 5090 graphics processor, the Mega robot fleet management manager, an artificial intelligence supercomputer, and more.
