CES 2025: Robots and AI Want to Be Everywhere You Are

AI has been on a roll, and that’s going to continue throughout the coming year. At CES 2025 in Las Vegas, we got a look at some of the ways it’ll be showing up in products that you’ll be able to bring into your home or that’ll otherwise infiltrating your life.

Meet Aria, a robot from Realbotix that uses generative AI to engage in real-time conversations, with an emphasis on social intelligence. CNET’s Jesse Orrall interviewed her, and she told him Realbotix robots are also “designed specifically for companionship and intimacy.” Not quite Detroit: Become Human status, but Aria looks the part.
