CES 2025 as it happened: All the latest news, announcements and tech reveals from Las Vegas

Andrew Kiguel, CEO of American company Realbotix says Aria was designed to combat "the loneliness epidemic".

But from the comments of some passers-by at the company's stand when our journalist Pascale Davies stopped by, Aria the humanistic AI robot - with her impossibly svelte figure and full bosom - could find a market for intimacy beyond company.

That being said, if customers who purchase the €170,000 robot try anything, you'll be in for a(n electric) shock.

These could be a game changer for smart glasses tech - and a potential major rival to Meta's Ray Ban smart glasses.

Unveiled this week at CES, the Hallyday Glasses differentiate themselves from Meta's in key ways. First of all, Hallyday's invisible display is integrated into the frames rather than the lens like Meta's Ray Ban's.This makes the glasses themselves very light at around 35 grams.

They are also the first glasses to integrate an AI agent. Nothing is projected onto the lens itself so others can’t see if you are using the AI agent and you can still use the glasses with a prescription.

If you travel a lot, this Panasonic palm-sized shaver could be a boon.

The ARC-5, which has five ergonomic blades, boasts sensors that can measure beard density and adjusts motor speed accordingly to give you a better shave.

The price point is a little steep though, retailing just now for $329.99 (€321.79).

Health tech is always a huge draw at CES, and this year is no exception with a plethora of companies displaying their innovations: from AI home gyms to AI stethoscopes.

One of the most impressive is the XoMotion exoskeleton at the Human In Motion Robotics.

The device is designed to assist patients suffering from mobility impairments due to spinal cord injuries, stroke, and other neurological conditions in standing up and walking.

Exoskeleton technology is by no means new but it continues to take huge leaps forward.

Back at CES in 2023, Euronews Next tried out the Archelis exoskeleton, which was described by the company behind it as "a wearable chair". We have also interviewed the French company Wandercraft and saw a demo of their own prototype.

Here's our round-up of some of the other health tech at CES 2025 that has people talking on the show floor.

Artificial intelligence (AI), whether we like it or not, is creeping into every aspect of our lives, and parenthood is no exception.

Bosch, for instance, has unveiled its Revol Smart Crib, an AI-powered bassinet that uses the technology to make sure baby is safe and comfortable while they sleep.

Among its many features are sensors that can measure air quality and humidity, as well as monitoring sleep patterns and whether the child is soiled and more.

However, consumer rights groups have already raised concerns this week about data privacy from the various cameras and sensors built into the crib.

What are you thoughts? Would this be something you'd use?

These, believe it or not, are not the latest must-have earphones for listening to your favourite true crime podcast series on the metro or blasting that Chappell Roan tune that's been stuck in your head. They are instead designed to clean your ears.

Promising safe and effective ear wax removal, the BeBird EarSight Flow uses a specialised optical lens and has a built-in water tank to help gently flush out your ear canal.

That's not all it's flushed out. It was recognised by the CES Innovation Awards this year.

L'Oréal says it can tell you what your skin does and doesn’t need using its Cell BioPrint device.

The gadget is designed to test and analyse your skin, giving personalised advice on how to slow down signs of ageing, including wrinkles. It then recommends its products.

Our tech journalist Pascale Davies volunteered to be a guinea pig and find out more.

Spanning mobility, sports, and content creation, Sony has flexed at this year's CES with a series of product unveilings, including its first electric vehicle (EV) in cooperation with Japanese automaker Honda.

Here's what the company announced at its keynote, in case you missed it.

US-based Aptera Motors is one of only a few outliers who are going all in on solar as the means to power cars of the future.

There have been other prototype vehicles produced by other companies, including Dutch start-up Lightyear. However, the cost of producing such cars has been, so far, prohibitively expensive.

That doesn't seem to be deterring the minds behind Aptera, having brought its prototype to show off in Las Vegas this week.

There's also some wind in the company's sails with capital from over 17,000 investors banked and more than 48,000 vehicles already reserved.

The current design will allow drivers to travel to a maximum range of over 640km at a speed of over 60 km/h, all the while powered by the Sun through integrated solar cells.

OK, I think we've done it: we've found the coolest and probably the most unnecessary tech of CES. But boy is it cute though.

Named Nékojita FuFu, it's perhaps one of the quirkiest bits of tech on show at CES this year (and that's a tall order). It is a small cat robot that sits on top of your mug or on the edge of your bowl and blows on your food or drink to cool it down.

I guess that means burnt tongues and mouths are a thing of the past, but only for consumers in Japan sadly.

"Work smarter, not harder" is a mantra that can be applied liberally to most facets of life - and the same can be said about getting up a snowy mountain.

The creators of 'E-SKIMO' are in Vegas this week showing off what they believe to be the world's first e-skis, helping you make an ascent four times faster than under your own steam using the same thinking as an e-bike.

This is how they work.

On Tuesday, the head of X took to the stage for a keynote appearance with journalist Catherine Herridge.

Among the talking points were Meta's decision to follow X's example and do away with fact-checkers, as well as a defence of the controversies surrounding Elon Musk's posts on the platform.

How do you stand out from the crowd? You build screens that are 30 per cent brighter than its predecessor.

Korean electronics giant Samsung unveiled its QD-OLED technology in Vegas, and as well as showcasing its colour brilliance, the company also had a robot on hand to jump on one of its panels to show off its durability.

Euronews Next's Pascale Davies got a closer look.

While consumer goods like AI-powered vacuums are grabbing a lot of attention at CES, there have been some big reveals from automakers at this week's event.

Honda, for instance, has shown off the futuristic prototypes for its promised new Zero electric vehicles (EVs) that are set for production for the North American market in 2026: an all-new sedan and an SUV.

The Honda O Saloon and O SUV will be the first cars in the company's fleet to have its new, in-house operating system, Asimo, based on the eponymous humanoid robot unveiled by Honda in the early 2000s.

While the robot was retired in 2018, the information retained from Asimo has helped develop an OS focused on safety and providing a more personalised driving experience. It will also lay the groundwork for automated driving.

The discussion between Yaccarino and Herridge is wide-ranging but one thing is abundantly clear and that is Yaccarino's high opinion of Elon Musk.

When asked about X's positioning as the number one news app globally and the place it will hold in the future, Yaccarino says that 2024 - a year marked by elections in around 70 countries around the world - was a "seminal year" for X, "particularly as it provided political journalists a clear canvas to really explore their craft. That’s such a challenge for them today".

"The future of news is not legacy media," she added, with X providing a space for "journalistic curiosity" to return.

"The shift of the narrative is now in the users' hands" rather than legacy media, Yaccarino said, suggesting that real change is being affected by X users and not the traditional media players.

Discussions also touched on Musk's future role in President Donald Trump's proposed Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, and how it would work as Trump's inauguration looms.

Musk is "a visionary," she said, adding that his work with DOGE would inspire other governments to follow suit. She also suggested that his vision is why Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has followed X's example of countering supposed bias by removing fact-checkers.

Herridge also asks about Musk's posts on X and his controversial interventions in politics, referencing, in particular, his row with UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer over child grooming gangs and claims in Europe that he's interfering in elections.

"If not for X, where would those girls be?" Yaccarino responds.

And as Yaccarino and Herridge take to the stage, as we predicted, they are straight into the panel with the first question from Herridge probing the CEO's thoughts on the Meta decision.

"How cool is that?" Yaccarino began.

"I think it's really exciting," she added, describing community notes as "a global collective consciousness keeping each other accountable at global scale in real-time".

"And it couldn't be more validating than to see that Mark and Meta realised that," Yaccarino continued.

Linda Yaccarino, CEO of Elon Musk's X Corp, is about to make a keynote appearance at CES alongside investigative journalist Catherine Herridge.

While the appearance is set to be a discussion about her role in defining the future of digital communication, we'd be surprised if questions weren't asked about Meta's decision on Tuesday to follow X's example and ditch fact-checkers in favour of community notes.

For more on that story, here's our earlier article.

Given the size of the show and the breadth of innovations on display, it's usually a tall order to find the strangest tech on display at CES on the first day but the title may have already been won by this, the Electric Salt Spoon from Kirin.

What does it do? The spoon emits a weak electric current that shocks your tongue. The idea is that this makes food taste saltier than it is, thereby jolting the user into making healthier choices and cutting down their salt intake in dishes like soups, stews, ramen, and so on.

Sounds like an odd way to kickstart your New Year's resolutions but who are we to judge?

Ahead of doors opening on Tuesday, tech giants made a flurry of announcements on Monday.

Chief among them was chipmaker Nvidia, with its CEO Jensen Nuang making CES' keynote speech. If his blinged-up trademark leather jacket didn't make waves, the new innovations he announced on stage certainly did.

If you missed it, we have you covered with a recap of the main talking points.
