The company describes Ai Me (Amy) as the “world’s first modular AI companion robot” but didn’t go into details about its full capabilities. A camera on its head can record videos or recognize objects using AI, and while the bot’s movements are limited to tiny flapping arms and blinking animated eyes, it pairs with a small motorized chair to autonomously navigate a home.

Weighing 60 grams with three days of battery life, the OffGrid connects to satellite services so you can send texts or safety check-ins, contact emergency services, and share your location while using your smartphone off the grid.

The long-awaited Competitor gamepad, which brings a PlayStation-like symmetrical stick layout to the Xbox, has been redesigned. Hyperkin announced the new version at CES with a separated D-pad, Hall effect joysticks and triggers, and two programmable back buttons.

The next version of JBL’s Bluetooth alarm clock features a larger design with two 1.5-inch speakers paired with dual passive radiators for improved sound. If you’re looking for a more gentle way to drift off or wake up, it can play relaxing nature sounds like ocean waves, or slowly illuminate a room with a built-in light to “help regulate circadian rhythms.”

Nékojita FuFu is another unusual robot creation from Yukai Engineering. It’s designed to hang off a mug or sit next to a plate and cool hot drinks and food by blowing on it with varying intensities. It can reduce temperatures by up to 30 degrees in three minutes and will be available in Japan in mid-2025 for about $25.
