From mundane tools like lawn mowers to cool concept cars that are familiar to the driver, nearly every innovation on display at CES 2023 is AI-powered. While some products are in the form of “robots,” others take advantage of AI’s capabilities invisibly to make everyday products smarter and more useful.
Like AMD CEO Lisa Su said in his keynote, “AI is really the most important big trend for the future of technology.”
Here are some of the best and most eye-catching AI-powered products from CES:
Peugeot’s original concept car
Advances in autonomous driving are not evolving as quickly as some imagine. However, cars are slowly getting smarter and smarter, with autonomy seemingly just ahead.
Case in point: Peugeot, the French car brand of Stellantis, has launched the Inception Concept, an electric vehicle that showcases the capabilities of a car, after you let go of the wheel, relax and let the car go. car get to know you a little bit.
The Inception Concept can wake up when you approach the vehicle, recognize you, greet you, and then automatically adjust the vehicle to your preferred driving settings. Instead of a cabin, which traditionally houses the driver and passengers, the vehicle has a “lounge” where all passengers can relax. The car features an upgraded version of Peugeot’s i-Cockpit, demonstrating how one can control a vehicle without a steering wheel.
Parky, Self-propelled electric vehicle charging robot
While self-driving cars are still in development, other market-ready autonomous mobility tools were on display at CES.
The company Evar was at the conference with Parky, an EV charging robot that automatically brings the charging station to any parking spot. It is designed for building owners who want to make their parking spots more EV-friendly without the need for additional electrical capacity.
To use Parky, the driver will have to find a spot next to the EV robot connector and plug it in. You can then use NFC to call Parky and it will automatically find your car. The robot offers 15kW DC charging per hour, providing a driving range of 50 miles.
Ella smart trolley
Everyone wants the best for their child. GlüxKind Ella promises a “smart” travel system that comes packed with AI-powered features to keep babies safe and parents happy.
With computer vision, the Ella stroller can provide parents with an “environmental hazard warning” when there’s something notable nearby.
Meanwhile, Hands-Free Mode — still in beta — allows the stroller to move on its own, staying close to you at your own pace. It only works when the trolley is empty. If the trolley goes too far, its intelligent breaking system will come into play.
The Ella stroller also has all the bells and whistles any discerning parent would want, fully equipped with a car seat, an infant bassinet and a toddler seat. Features automatic Rock-My-Baby as well as a built-in white noise generator. You can reserve a spot to reserve a stroller from the limited production of Founder Edition GlüxKind Ella.
EcoFlow Blade robot lawn mower
Lawn care is another part of everyday life when AI comes in handy, and it was a hot topic at CES. EcoFlow introduced the EcoFlow Blade, which it claims is the “world’s first” robotic lawn mower capable of collecting fallen leaves. The robot uses intelligent programs in the application, GPS and LiDAR to perform automatic leaf collection and precise edge cutting.

U-Scan toilet unclog sensor
CES also reflects a clear need for healthcare products that use AI to provide personalized care and track health data.
The Withings U-Scan The toilet sensor attaches to the inside of your toilet. It includes a urine monitor for nutrition and metabolism, testing for pH, ketones, vitamin C, etc. A second tracker monitors luteal hormones for a woman’s ovulation cycle. Each promises early detection of potential health problems.
U-Scan claims it can even distinguish between your own urine and that of any guest, based on various factors like distance and flow rate. The accompanying app lets you check your health stats right from your smartphone — no need to tamper with the toilet sensor.
Citizen CZ . Smart Watch
Citizen’s latest CZ smartwatch AI and NASA research mining to measure your fatigue and alertness. The watch and accompanying apps collect and analyze sleep data to accurately assess a user’s time pattern (one’s preferred sleep and wake times).
The watch uses other data like activity and heart rate to develop personalized Energy Fixes that advise users on specific ways to boost alertness. The more you use the watch, the more it learns about you and the more accurate predictions and tips will become.
iVolve Pro tennis partner robot
AI doesn’t just help you track your physical activity — it can help you improve it while having fun. The iVolve Pro robot was honored in the CES Fitness & Sports category. This robot looks like a tennis ball machine but is said to be more than that.
The robot uses artificial intelligence and computer vision to shoot the ball flexibly and move around the field, simulating the experience of playing with others.
