The rise of the robots
At CES, one thing became very obvious – robots took over the Las Vegas Convention Center!
The range of robots was massive – there were literally thousands of robots on the floor this year — big ones, little ones, scary ones, friendly ones... Here is a few great examples!
The cutest robot at CES
Probably the most talked-about robot at CES 2017 was Kuri,
a 20-inch-tall rolling bot that might win this year’s award
for most adorable. It has more mobility than most robots being showcased this year. Created by Mayfield Robotics, Kuri can follow you around, taking video, telling stories, monitoring the home and greeting guests.
It also has more personality than many others. Kuri’s animations and personality were designed by a former Pixar animator. While it’s still available only
for pre-order, Kuri will retail for $700 and be available for the 2017 holiday season.
