AirRay-Mini: CES Honoree

Let’s face it. The Consumer Electronics Show has miles of aisles filled with products from more than 4,500 exhibitors. It’s a difficult task to take in all of the exciting and important products during the four days of the convention.

Thankfully there is an that is devoted to display the some of the best products that have been identified by industry experts.

One of the products that I took notice of was this small X-ray machine. The AirRay-Mini garnered an CES Honor in the Imaging category.

Having visited several hospitals during the year, I’ve witnessed the length of time and effort that the medical staff has to expend to take x-rays. This battery powered portable device should reduce both time and effort to help with diagnosis.

The AirRay-Mini is slightly larger than a kitchen toaster

A few at CES

I stopped by several of the booths demonstrating robots as the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month.

They come in all sizes and are aimed at various audiences.

Take a look at how they move around.

Rola Mini Pet Monitor

This companion robot lets you observe your pet while you are at work or away from home. This model is $150. A different model can feed your pet.

Visit Enabot

Stealth X30

Industrial grade moves like a dog. With multiple sensors it can walk, run, climb stairs and can operate in harsh environments. Cost is about $65,000.

Visit Deep Robotics

Mirokai

Billed as a “social” robot it can be used in a variety of settings: restaurants, hotels, malls, etc. This programmable character is friendly. Cost is about $16,000.

Visit Enchanted Tools

From the several versions of robots that I saw at CES, they’ll be soon coming to you in droves.

Walking assistance

One of my interests during the visit to the Consumer Electronics Show last week in Las Vegas was to look at the various robotics.

When I stopped at WiRobotics I was surprised at what they were demonstrating. Instead of a cute metallic character rolling, climbing stairs, running or dancing I witnessed a device that is used by individuals who may need walking assistance. The device is named the WIM (We Innovate Mobility).

This device straps to your waist with extended attachments to each knee

As I was at the booth, more than a dozen attendees were testing the WIM by climbing the stairs.

WiRobotics representative Jihyum Kim demonstrated the WIM for me.

The robot assists you as you walk and is said to reduce the amount of energy you need to expend by up to 25%.

If you or someone you know may need walking assistance you may want to see if this “robot” may be of help. The WIM has a suggested price of about $2500.

For more information, please contact WiRobotics.
