CES 2024: WeHead spatial video device

Peak, 1/27/2024
If you’re somewhat repulsed by the idea of an AI talking head, you’re not alone. We were, too, although that repulsion was combined with genuine fascination. It’s like ChatGPT evolved a face, showing the direction that AI and robotics are heading in. Developed by an American startup, 
WeHead is a desktop device with a “face” made of four displays. It’s supposed to mimic a real person with whom you can interact. But it’s early days yet, so the interaction — according to various sources — isn’t smooth. The device had trouble isolating audio cues, leading to a response lag.

CES 2024: Bobcat autonomous mower

Designed to operate manually, remotely with a smartphone app, or autonomously, the zero-turn mower can reach speeds of up to 12 mph. Object detection recognizes and avoids known objects, like trees or benches, as well as stopping and alerting users via the app when encountering unexpected objects. Slated for limited release later this year, the mower will be Bobcat’s first commercially available autonomous machine.

CES 2024: Electric semi trucks

 
Screenshot from video below

Walking into the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center (the third largest convention center in the U.S., with 2 million square feet of exhibit space), the first thing I saw was the Paccar exhibit with Kenworth and Peterbilt semi tractors on display. Paccar displays a hydrogen powered Peterbilt at CES 2024. 
These trucks use hydrogen fuel-cell technology to create water (H2O) as the only by-product. The prototypes displayed at the show have a range of 450 miles and require 20-30 minutes to refuel. They are currently testing on-road applications but plan to work on off-road applications in the near future
