TechCrunch’s Anthony Ha said in an interview: “Intelligent robots will be able to search for information on the Internet like smart speakers, and they can also take pictures for you.

Mayfield Robotics is one of the many companies that are developing smart robots. The company plans to launch a robot named Kuri in the spring of 2018, which sells for $899.
Ha said: “The Kuri robot will use computer vision to accomplish some tasks. It not only can identify your identity, but it can also make judgments when everyone in the family gets together, and then you can take current pictures. With this robot, everyone in the house can appear in the picture, and no one will be left behind because they need to take pictures."
Wireless charging 2.0
Almost all people now have more or less low-power anxiety disorders. We all feel uncomfortable when the mobile phone battery turns red.
After the phone is dead, we first need to find a charger. After finding the charger, the mobile phone immediately became a landline, and the range of movement of the device was greatly limited.
But this situation will soon become different.
Just last month, Energous and PowerCast's air wireless charging technology was approved by the FCC.
Chris Velazco of Engadget said: "As long as you are sitting within the charging range, you are free to use your mobile phone, because the wireless transmitter will continuously send power to the mobile phone."
Both companies will showcase their long-distance wireless charging technology at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

Smarter TV
With the continuous development of technology, smart TVs will become more intelligent.

In addition to Sony, Samsung is also working in this direction. The company said it will integrate their Bixby voice assistant technology into their television devices.
