Honda’s new concept
robots may be just as cute
as they are useful. At CES,
the company showcased
its 3E Robotics concept,
which includes several
robot companions all
designed to serve different
functions. Robot 3E-A18
is Honda’s social empathy
robot. The company says
it’s meant to represent the
idea that robots can support
people by providing a
sense of compassion and
understanding. In a demo
at CES, the roving robot’s
glowing face frequently
changed its expression as it
greeted the crowd. Honda’s
3E-B18, comparatively, is a
148
robotic chair concept, while
3E-C18 includes cargo space
for transporting materials.
Honda 3E Robotics Concept
by far is the laptops’ HDR
support, which makes colors
look bold and vivid, arguably
adding much more noticeable
improvements than 4K
resolution.
7- Lenovo ThinkPad 8- Volocopter
X1 Carbon and Yoga The Volocopter passenger-
carrying drone that hails from
Germany isn’t completely
new, but it did take to the
air on US soil for the first
time at CES 2018, proving
that we’re closer than ever
to a future where we’re all
getting transported around
by stripped-down helicopters
that can think for themselves.
Lenovo’s long-running
ThinkPad lineup is getting
some worthwhile new
additions at this year’s
CES. Both new ThinkPad
computers include a dazzling
HDR display, a built-in
physical webcam cover, and
far-field microphones for
speaking to Amazon’s Alexa
and Microsoft’s Cortana.
The two laptops also run
on Intel’s newest eighth-
generation processors. The
most impressive feature

The aircraft can be run in
autonomous and semi-
autonomous modes,
and uses the same flight
controllers that Intel has put
inside other, smaller drones.
The technology is still being
developed and refined, and as
yet there’s no word on when the
rest of us will be able to clamber
inside a Volocopter – but that
day is getting closer.
Among the many, many other
drones spotted on the show floor
at CES 2018 was an upgraded
version of the AirSelfie, with
longer flight times, a better
integrated camera, and extra on-
board storage.
9- Razer Project Linda
From the soon-to-be-available
and the practical to the more
outlandish: Razer’s Project
Linda is a concept device put
together by the gaming firm that
transforms the Razer Phone into
a fully fledged laptop. The phone
