dear designboom reader, upgraded robots and personal gadgets show up in las vegas for CES 2025. they come in the form of clip-on accessories, either blowing on hot drinks and food to cool them down, like nékojita fufu, or interacting with people by looking and nodding at them, like mirumi. these gadgets also assist people with their personal needs. humanpods, for example, are natura umana’s AI earbuds that function as a therapist, coach, and more. in belkin’s case, it’s a magnetic power bank that doubles as a smartphone grip, shaped like a disposable camera. thanks for reading! matthew burgos | editor |
