Table of Contents
Artificial intelligence has never been as popular as before and of course this would be seen in the robots of CES 2024. Companies like LG e Samsung they once again invested in the robotics market to make buyers' lives simpler. See what was most successful and should help us live an effortless life in the future.
ADAM
Robots that make drinks are not new in the technology market, but the ADAM deserves to open our list of the best robots in the world ESC 2024. It can make 21 hot or cold coffee options, as well as making beer and Boba Tea (commonly called bubble tea).
More than making drinks autonomously, the robot can take orders using natural language, as well as using its arms to wash glasses. The manufacturer Richtech Robotics highlights that it can have its interface updated for each company, including the insertion of phrases known by customers who frequent a location. See him at work:
For now, the ADAM It is only available for rent. He works as the head barista at a Manhattan coffee shop, has served Boba at Cloutea in Las Vegas, and has also served shots of 818 Tequilas, at the launch party for none other than Kendall Jenner.
Ballie from Samsung
O ballie was first introduced to the world in CES 2020, but it was never sold on the international market, much less in Brazil. Four years later, the Korean company presented it again through an updated version.
O ballie This year it is bigger, with better artificial intelligence and autonomy to interact with pets for when you're not at home. In addition Samsung implemented a integrated projector and front and rear cameras to map the environment and create a safe area, linking new smart devices to keep the home always connected.

Finally, the image emitted by the robot will be adapted according to the lighting in the location and it also has the autonomy to display health information from the GalaxyWatch6 on a large screen for better viewing.
Until the closing of this matter, the ballie it still didn't have a release date or price announced, as well as its arrival on the market. Brazil has also not been confirmed. We are waiting for it to at least reach some market so that practical tests can finally be carried out.
Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combo
Awarded in the category Home Cleaning Product Innovation Gold Award, this model is a robot vacuum cleaner that also has, at its base, a cordless vacuum cleaner with an expandable rod. The model arrives with an automatic emptying system as soon as it returns to its base, which allows up to two dust bags to be emptied.
The model, launched only in Merunas UAB and displayed in CES 2024, also has a base that allows hot washing of the mop at 60 °C, heated drying and automatic refilling of the water tank on board the robot. On first use, it scans the entire house to learn the areas of insecurity and leave the place clean.
The vacuum cleaner and mop robot Deebot X2 Combo It is 9,5 cm thick and its manufacturer promises cleaning that reaches 99,7% of the entire space it is put to work.
The autonomous model has sensors TO DEAL and has a field of vision of 10 meters, in addition to its system being trained to avoid objects and people. Control of the autonomous model can be done via app or via voice: it can receive commands via YIKO, Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
About the battery: the autonomous vacuum cleaner has a 6.400 mAh battery which, according to its manufacturer, has the autonomy to clean a complete space of 200 square meters. The portable model that can be used by one person has a 4.000 mAh battery, which provides an autonomy of 60 minutes until it is necessary to place it on the charging base.
At first, it will be sold for a suggested price of 6.999 yuan (R$4.808,49 in direct conversion), with no expected arrival in the USA or other countries. Would you buy a model like this? Tell us Comment!
LG Smart Home Agent
Remember the animated series The Jetsons, who had the robot maid Rose? O Smart Home Agent could be her successor. LG's friendly robot has two wheels that help with locomotion to follow its user throughout the house and a screen-shaped face for interaction. It was presented in December, but now it is on display at CES 2024 for all visitors to the technology fair.
It has artificial intelligence that can understand the speaker's emotions and suggest activities and also plays music to improve mood. It's something similar to what the Bmind A smart mirrorI do, but the idea of LG is focused on functioning in more parts of a person's day.
O Agent AI da LG can control household appliances and other connected devices that run and are compatible with the South Korean company's webOS so that you only need to give voice commands. Furthermore, it has a language model that improves over time. An important point is that, thinking about privacy, the LG Smart Home Agent will always ask for authorization to store information from its users.
Unfortunately, the robot is not yet scheduled to arrive in Brazil, but it would be interesting to see it compared with the ballie da Samsung to know which one can be most useful in our daily lives.
Loona Companion Bot
As the name suggests, the idea of Loona is to be a companion for your pet, children and younger relatives. It is equipped with the ChatGPT for creating sentences and responses according to users' requests, in addition to having a friendly face that makes the interaction more friendly.
Its camera allows it to recognize people as soon as it looks at a person and each resident of a house can also register unique commands. Watch it in action:
The robot also has an application that allows you to view the camera image remotely and give commands without even being at home. You can see your pet, children or anyone else who is at home.
A cheaper version of Loona it sells for US$382 (R$ 1.865,80 in direct conversion) and it is possible to buy some accessories that make the final price more expensive.

MOBINN
Small notable, the MOBINN, idea of Rclab, is to put this model on the streets to make deliveries autonomously. The robot can climb steep stairs without anything being knocked over (think of that cafe). For now, it's just a project that needs to be further developed to work on the streets, but developers at CES 2024 are excited about the idea.
O MOBINN has a sensor TO DEAL which allows mapping of an entire region and its materials allow it to work on unstable terrain, in rain and even in snow. It's an idea to keep an eye on to see how far he can go.
Moonwalkers
Developed by Shift Robotics, robotic shoes are curious and leave you with the feeling of wanting to test the models as soon as you find out more. You Moonwalkers they weigh four kilos each and reach speeds of up to 11 km/h, making them more suitable for factory workers. But the idea is to place them on traditional streets so that everyone can have even greater mobility.
There is no need to make an effort to activate the engines: the company explains that the user only needs to make a walking movement for the wheels to accelerate. To brake, just stop walking.
Initial tests showed that the Moonwalkers They managed to double the efficiency of factory workers and saved 400 hours a year compared to robotic shoes.
Os Moonwalkers They do not yet have a release date on the general market and their prices have not yet been revealed, but the manufacturer expects availability to happen later this year. The first version, a little heavier, is sold for US$1.399 (R$6.827,82 in direct conversion).
Navimow H
Robot lawn mowers are not new, but they are far from being as common in Brazilians' backyards as the autonomous vacuum cleaners we know and use in our homes.
The idea of Segway uses a positioning RTK (basically consists of a pair of GNSS Receivers with internal radio or external radio, which form a link and “talk” in the field), which uses a GPS signal as a base. The model was developed to work in smaller gardens and therefore should be aimed at the entry-level market.
The most interesting detail is that it has a camera with a feature called VisionFence da Series i and delivers the ability to detect more than 20 obstacles, including: trees, curbs, running children and small animals. If a toy is in the garden, the robot lawnmower will also detect this so nothing is destroyed.
Already talking about the application Navimov, it uses artificial intelligence to do all the 3D mapping of the garden where it will be put to work, this is mostly done to show details of borders and columns. The application also allows you to schedule cuts and even customize how you want your grass to look.
The model has not yet had its market price announced, but the Segway is focused on placing two models on the market, still in 2024: the i105 and the i110. Would you have a model like this to call your own?
