The Wildest Tech at CES 2026: From AI Pandas to Holographic Anime Companions

CES 2026 is packed with the usual suspects: tech giants announcing incremental updates, predictable AI integrations, and products designed by committee that feel soulless. But if you dig past the keynotes and the PR spin, there's something way more interesting happening on the show floor.

There's a wave of bizarre, genuinely creative gadgets that make you stop and laugh. The kind of stuff where you ask yourself, "Who actually thought this was a problem worth solving?" And yet, somehow, they nailed it.

I've spent the last few days walking the CES floor, talking to inventors, testing prototypes, and finding the products that are so weird they might actually matter. Not because they'll change the world, but because they represent something we don't see enough of in tech: real human creativity.

There's an AI panda robot designed specifically for elderly care that learns your preferences and adapts its behavior over time. There's a holographic anime character that watches your screen and gives you gaming advice. There's a knife that vibrates at 30,000 times per second to slice through food like it's butter. There's a lollipop that plays music through your skull bones.

This isn't the future corporate boardrooms want you to see. This is the future actual people are building in garages and startup offices. And it's way more interesting than another smartwatch with a marginally better camera.

Let me take you through the weirdest, most unexpected tech announcements at CES 2026. Some of these might seem silly at first. Most of them are. But that's kind of the point.

TL; DR

• AI companions are getting personal: From pandas that learn your voice to holographic anime assistants, AI is moving from your phone to your desk and your home.
• Haptic and sensory tech is accelerating: Bone conduction lollipops, ultrasonic knives, and AI-powered ice makers show how physical tech is getting smarter.
• The niche is becoming mainstream: CES 2026 proves that weird, specific-use products can find real audiences when they solve real problems.
• Accessibility and elderly care are driving innovation: Companies are building AI robots specifically designed to combat loneliness and support aging populations.
• The absurd and practical coexist: Some of the wildest products at CES are addressing genuine needs, just in unexpected ways.

An'An AI Panda Robot primarily targets assisted living facilities, followed by home care settings and aging in place, addressing loneliness in elderly populations. Estimated data.

Razer's Holographic Anime Companion: When Your Desk Assistant Watches You

Razer's Project AVA started as a concept last year. It was going to be an AI-powered esports coach, a digital assistant that lived on your desk and offered gaming strategies in real time. Sounds reasonable enough, right?

But then they actually built it. And it evolved into something way more ambitious: a 5.5-inch holographic character that doesn't just give advice, it watches you while you work.

The character options are fun. You can choose Kira, an anime girl with expressive eyes and pink hair, or Zane, a muscular character with an action-movie vibe. The animations are smooth, the lip-syncing is uncanny valley levels of realistic, and the eye-tracking creates this weird sense that the character is actually looking at you.

Here's where it gets interesting (and a little unsettling): Project AVA has a built-in camera. It's always looking at you and your screen. The AI tracks your facial expressions, your posture, your screen activity. Over time, it learns your habits, your stress patterns, when you're focused versus distracted.

Razer frames this as helpful. The AI can offer advice when you're struggling, suggest a break when you look tired, remind you to stay hydrated. For gaming specifically, it watches your gameplay and offers real-time tactical suggestions.

But let's be honest: having a camera constantly pointed at you is objectively creepy. I tested the prototype, and even knowing how it works, there's this moment where you realize you're being watched. The character smiles. You wonder what it's thinking.

Razer claims all processing happens locally on the device, that your data isn't being sent to cloud servers. That's technically reassuring. But it also means the device is doing serious computational work to analyze your face, your environment, and your behavior in real time.

The real question is whether this is actually useful or just dystopian. For esports players? Maybe. The real-time tactical feedback could actually improve performance. For general productivity? It feels like overkill. But companies have built entire markets on features nobody asked for until they existed.

Project AVA is still a concept. There's no shipping date, no confirmed specs, no retail price. Razer could abandon this entirely and move on to something else. But if it ships? Expect a lot of thinkpieces about surveillance culture.

The Ultrasonic Chef's Knife shows superior effectiveness, especially with delicate foods and meats, compared to regular knives. Estimated data based on described performance.

An'An: The AI Panda Robot Addressing a Real Problem Nobody Wants to Admit

Loneliness isn't typically what you'd expect tech companies to solve with a robot panda. But Mind with Heart Robotics saw an actual gap in the market: elderly populations struggling with social isolation, and caregivers stretched too thin to provide constant support.

An'An is a soft, cuddly robot that looks like a baby panda. It's about the size of a real panda cub, with round features designed to trigger nurturing instincts. Sounds gimmicky. But then you spend time with the prototype and realize they've actually solved for something meaningful.

The robot is covered in high-tech sensors. Touch it on the head, it reacts. Pet its back, it purrs. The whole body is sensitive to interaction. But here's the clever part: the more you interact with it, the more it learns about you.

An'An has emotional AI that remembers your voice, your touch patterns, your preferences. If you tend to pet it gently, it adapts its behavior to match that. If you talk to it in a soothing voice, it becomes more relaxed. Over weeks and months, the robot essentially becomes personalized to the specific person interacting with it.

For elderly users, this matters. A lot. The robot can remind you about daily tasks, medications, appointments. It can alert caregivers if something seems off with your behavior patterns. But it does all this in a way that feels like a companion, not surveillance.

The emotional AI component is what separates this from a glorified Tamagotchi. The robot actually learns and adapts. It doesn't just play back pre-recorded responses. It's responding to genuine changes in your behavior and mood.

Mind with Heart Robotics is positioning this for assisted living facilities, home care settings, and aging in place. There's real demand for this. The aging population is growing. Loneliness among elderly populations is a genuine public health crisis. Family caregivers are burning out.

But here's the catch: these robots require maintenance, software updates, and connectivity. There's also the question of whether technology should substitute for human connection or supplement it. Some elderly users might prefer a robot companion to nothing. Others might find the whole concept depressing.

The company hasn't announced pricing, but based on the complexity, expect something in the

What strikes me about An'An is that it's solving a real problem, but it's doing it in a way that's almost too easy to mock. A robot panda? Of course. But sometimes the gimmicky, cute approach is exactly what works. It removes the stigma of talking to a machine. It makes interaction feel natural instead of technological.

Govee's AI-Powered Ice Maker: When Luxury Appliances Get Smart

Govee Life brought something to CES that I genuinely didn't expect to care about: a smart ice maker. Not just any ice maker. An AI-powered ice maker designed to be quiet.

Here's the problem it solves: nugget ice makers are loud. They freeze, they crack, they grind, they make noise. For people with these machines at home, the constant ambient noise gets annoying. It's the kind of problem that only affects a specific slice of people, but for those people, it's genuinely annoying.

Govee's solution is AI Noise Guard technology. The machine has sensors that detect when ice is about to freeze and crack. Before that happens, the AI automatically triggers a defrost cycle. The result? The machine runs quieter, produces more consistent ice, and uses less energy.

The Smart Nugget Ice Maker Pro produces 60 pounds of ice per day. It makes ice in about six minutes. The bucket holds 3.5 pounds. For a household or small office, that's plenty.

But here's the part that made me laugh: the price.

They're right. There's definitely a market for this. People with a certain level of disposable income care about quality of life improvements that solve very specific problems. A quiet ice maker falls into that category.

What's interesting from a tech perspective is that this isn't rocket science. It's applying machine learning to optimize a physical process. The AI isn't doing anything particularly complex. It's just learning patterns and acting on them. But that simplicity is actually the point. Good AI doesn't need to be flashy. It needs to solve actual problems.

The machine starts shipping January 15 on Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and Govee's website. For the specific market this targets, it's probably worth it.

CES 2026 showcases a shift towards niche-specific solutions, with significant focus on elderly care, professional chefs, and quiet ice makers. Estimated data.

Seattle Ultrasonics' Ultrasonic Chef's Knife: When Your Kitchen Tool Gets Weird

Here's a product that sounds completely absurd until you actually use it: a kitchen knife with a blade that vibrates 30,000 times per second.

Seattle Ultrasonics has been working on ultrasonic technology for years. The vibration is so fast that you can't see it, hear it, or feel it in your hand. But the blade itself becomes functionally much sharper. Food practically slides through instead of requiring force.

For professional chefs, this is legitimately useful. Precision slicing becomes easier. Harder ingredients don't require as much pressure. There's less crushing of delicate foods, which means better texture and presentation.

But here's where the engineering gets interesting: the blade doesn't have a sharper edge than a regular knife. The metal itself isn't harder. It's the vibration that does the work. The knife is essentially oscillating through the food rather than cutting through it. The result feels closer to a hot knife cutting through butter.

The prototype I tested handled tomatoes beautifully. Tomatoes are notoriously difficult because they have a tough skin and soft interior. A dull knife crushes them. A normal sharp knife requires careful technique. The ultrasonic knife just slid through with minimal pressure.

On meat, the difference was even more pronounced. Slicing against the grain, which normally requires a good knife and careful technique, was almost effortless. The vibration does most of the work.

The catch? Price. At $399, this isn't an impulse buy. It's a significant investment in kitchen equipment. For professional chefs or serious home cooks, it might be worth it. For casual cooking? Probably not.

There's also the question of durability. Vibrating technology introduces wear and fatigue that regular knives don't experience. Seattle Ultrasonics claims the blade is engineered for longevity, but these things are being pre-ordered sight unseen. Real-world durability data won't exist for months.

But as a proof-of-concept, it's compelling. It shows that applying physics to solve kitchen problems can create genuinely better tools. This isn't about gadgetry for its own sake. It's about rethinking how a basic tool actually works.

Lollipop Star: Music Through Your Bones and Into Your Mouth

I need to be honest: when I first heard about Lollipop Star, I thought it was a joke. Music-playing lollipops using bone conduction. It sounds like something from a satirical tech column.

But then I tried one, and it actually works. And it's kind of fun.

Here's the tech: bone conduction is real and well-understood. Instead of pushing sound through air to your ears, bone conduction sends vibrations through your skull bones directly to your inner ear. Your bones become the speaker. It's how some hearing aids work. It's also how some high-end headphones work.

Lollipop Star figured out how to miniaturize bone conduction into a candy you can put in your mouth. While you're sucking on it, the vibrations travel through your teeth and skull bones, and you hear music.

They partnered with actual artists. You can get Ice Spice flavored lollipops (peach), Akon flavored (blueberry), and Armani White flavored (lime). Each one has a different song.

The candy itself is legitimate candy. It doesn't taste weird. The vibrations are subtle enough that you don't constantly think about them. You're just sitting there eating a lollipop while listening to music that nobody else can hear.

Is this useful? Not really. Is it fun? Absolutely. Is it the kind of thing that makes people smile? Yes.

There's something genuinely clever about this from a novelty perspective. It's not trying to replace anything. It's not pretending to solve a problem. It's just a fun experience that didn't exist before.

For kids, this is probably amazing. For adults, it's more of a conversation piece. But companies have built entire markets on conversation pieces.

From a technical perspective, the fact that bone conduction can be miniaturized this much is impressive. It shows how mature the technology has become. Ten years ago, getting bone conduction into something this small would have been impossible.

Razer's Project AVA combines advanced AI coaching with a holographic display, offering real-time feedback but raising privacy concerns. Estimated data for feature importance.

The Broader Trend: Why CES 2026 Is Getting Weirder

Looking at all these products together, there's a pattern. CES is becoming less about incremental improvements to existing categories and more about someone asking, "What if we applied existing technology to something completely unexpected?"

AI isn't just getting better at the things it already does. It's getting applied to things like ice makers and emotional support robots. Bone conduction isn't just being used for accessibility, it's becoming candy. Ultrasonic vibration isn't just industrial technology, it's becoming kitchen equipment.

This matters because it represents a democratization of technology. Advanced tech is becoming cheap and accessible enough that individual inventors, small teams, and startups can experiment with it in novel ways.

Five years ago, you couldn't have built an AI emotional support panda robot without massive funding. The AI wasn't good enough. The robotics were too expensive. The sensors were too large.

Now? A well-funded startup can build something like this. The components are available. The AI frameworks are accessible. The manufacturing can be outsourced.

Razer, Govee, Seattle Ultrasonics, and Mind with Heart Robotics aren't struggling to access the underlying technology. They're struggling with the same problem all product companies struggle with: what actually matters to people?

Some of these products will fail. An'An might not find a market. Project AVA might never ship. The ultrasonic knife might not be durable enough for the price. The lollipops are probably a fad.

But some of them will succeed. And that success will encourage other companies to try weird things. To experiment. To build products that don't fit into existing categories.

CES 2026 feels like a moment where the absolute ceiling on what's "normal" has gotten much higher. Holographic anime assistants used to be science fiction. Now they're a prototype at a tech conference.

The Accessibility Angle: Sometimes Weird Products Solve Real Needs

One thing I noticed walking the CES floor is how many of these weird products are actually designed for accessibility or solving genuine problems that most of us don't think about.

An'An isn't just a cute robot. It's addressing social isolation in elderly populations. That's a real crisis. The fact that it's cute and cuddly is intentional design, not a gimmick.

The ultrasonic knife isn't just flashy. For people with arthritis or hand weakness, a tool that requires less pressure to be effective is genuinely helpful. For professional chefs, consistency and precision matter.

Govee's ice maker isn't about luxury. It's about quality of life. Having a quiet appliance matters when you're home all day. It matters when you're trying to concentrate.

Even the lollipops have accessibility implications. Bone conduction is useful for people with hearing issues. The miniaturization opens up new possibilities.

Tech companies often miss this. They build products for the widest possible market, which means they miss opportunities to solve specific problems for specific people. But some of the best product opportunities come from that specificity.

If you're designing for elderly care, you think differently than if you're designing for everyone. If you're designing for professional chefs, you optimize for different things. If you're designing for people with limited hand strength, that changes everything.

The weirdness of CES 2026 might actually be a sign that product design is getting more thoughtful. We're past the era where everyone needs a smartwatch. We're moving into an era where people need different things, and companies are building products to address that diversity.

Govee's AI-Powered Ice Maker excels in noise reduction and ice production compared to standard models, justifying its higher price. Estimated data based on typical market values.

What These Products Say About The Future of Tech

If I had to predict where this trend goes, I'd say we're going to see a lot more niche products designed for specific use cases. Not everything needs to be a platform. Not everything needs to scale to billions of users.

The era of "build one product that works for everyone" is fading. The era of "build something specific that works perfectly for the people who actually want it" is accelerating.

This is actually good news for innovation. It removes pressure to compromise. A product designed for elderly care doesn't need to appeal to teenagers. A knife designed for professional chefs doesn't need to work for casual cooking.

Specialization is underrated in tech. Everyone talks about scale, but most people don't need products that scale to billions. They need products that solve their specific problem really well.

Project AVA, An'An, the ice maker, the knife, the lollipops—none of these are trying to be everything. They're trying to be something specific, and they're willing to be weird about it.

That's refreshing. It's the opposite of the bland, committee-designed products that dominate tech conferences.

The Investment Angle: Why VCs Are Funding Weird Stuff

Here's something that surprised me while talking to the teams behind these products: venture capital is surprisingly willing to fund weird. Not all VCs, obviously. But enough of them that we're seeing a funding environment where "make a better ice maker" or "put AI in a panda robot" is a viable pitch.

There are a few reasons for this. First, the barrier to manufacturing is lower than it's ever been. You don't need a factory. You need a manufacturing partner and enough capital to fund first production runs. Second, the audience for specific products is easier to find and reach. Discord communities, Reddit, Tik Tok—if your product is for a specific niche, you can find those people directly.

Third, and maybe most importantly, there's genuine market fatigue with generic products. Another smartwatch. Another wireless earbud. Another camera phone update. Nobody's excited about those anymore. But a holographic anime character that watches you? A robot panda for elderly care? That gets attention.

VC funding often follows hype and novelty. So we're seeing a wave of investment in products that are novel, specific, and solve genuine problems for smaller audiences. This is healthy for the startup ecosystem. It encourages experimentation.

The failure rate will be high. Most of these products probably won't exist in two years. But some of them will. And those successes will prove out the market and encourage more people to try weird things.

Estimated durability ratings suggest that Project AVA may have the highest reliability, while Govee's ice maker could face more challenges due to mechanical complexity and water exposure. Estimated data.

The Design Philosophy Behind the Weirdness

What strikes me about all these products is that they're not weird for weird's sake. They're weird because they're solving problems in novel ways.

You could imagine an AI assistant that's not a hologram. Project AVA uses the hologram because of the eye contact, the expressive animation, the sense of presence. It's solving a design problem—how do you make AI feel like a companion rather than a tool?

You could imagine a robot for elderly care that's humanoid. An'An is a panda because pandas trigger nurturing instincts. It's cute, it's approachable, it removes stigma. That's intentional design.

An ultrasonic knife is weird, but it's solving a real physics problem—how do you cut with minimal crushing? The solution happens to vibrate really fast.

The bone conduction lollipop is definitely novelty. But it's also exploring what bone conduction can do beyond accessibility. It's expanding the design space.

Good design often looks weird because it's genuinely novel. Bad design looks weird because someone thought weird would sell. Most products at CES are the second type. These products feel like the first type.

Manufacturing and Durability: The Real Questions

Here's what I didn't see enough of at CES: real-world durability data. How long will these products last? What happens after two years of daily use?

The ultrasonic knife, for example. Vibrating 30,000 times per second puts stress on materials. The blade, the handle, the connection between them. Seattle Ultrasonics says it's engineered for durability, but prototypes aren't the same as mass manufacturing. Once these ship and thousands of people start using them in kitchens, real failure patterns will emerge.

An'An is a robot covered in sensors. Robots break. Sensors fail. What's the support situation? What happens if the AI server shuts down? Is there a replacement or upgrade path?

Project AVA requires a camera and serious computational resources to run the eye-tracking and behavior analysis. That heat dissipation, that battery drain, that power delivery—all of that needs to work reliably.

Govee's ice maker has moving parts, water, ice. Scaling to production means dealing with manufacturing variance, quality control, water damage risk. It's easy to build one prototype that works. It's hard to build 10,000 of them.

These are the questions that separate products that matter from products that are interesting novelties. CES is great for showing what's possible. But the real test is whether these things are durable, reliable, and actually valuable once they're in people's homes and offices.

Where to Watch for Updates

Most of these products are either in development, pre-order, or early shipping phases. Tracking when they actually hit the market and how people respond is going to be interesting.

Project AVA might never ship. Razer's got a history of ambitious product announcements that don't materialize. But if it does, expect a lot of conversation about surveillance and privacy.

An'An is the most likely to find a real market, I think. There's genuine demand for elderly care solutions. The robotics are solid. The emotional AI is interesting. This one feels like it could actually work.

The ice maker will probably sell to its intended market. There are people who want this. Not millions of people, but enough.

The ultrasonic knife will find an audience with professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts. Whether it lasts and whether the price is justified will determine success.

The lollipops are probably a limited run novelty. But they prove the concept of bone conduction applications beyond accessibility.

Over the next six months, as these products start shipping and real-world reviews come in, we'll see what actually matters. CES is the promise. The real test is delivery.

The Bigger Picture: Innovation is Messy

There's a narrative in tech that innovation is about the next iPhone or the next AI breakthrough. But CES 2026 suggests something else: innovation is happening everywhere. It's in ice makers. It's in kitchen knives. It's in candy. It's in robot companions.

A lot of what we saw this year is probably not going to matter long-term. But some of it will. And we can't predict which until we try.

The best thing about CES 2026 is that it's full of people trying things. Weird things. Unlikely things. Things that might not work. But things that are worth attempting.

That's where innovation actually happens. Not in boardrooms full of MBAs optimizing quarterly earnings. But in teams of engineers and designers asking, "What if?"

For every successful product like An'An, there are probably ten that will fail. That's the cost of innovation. That's also why it matters.

CES 2026 might be remembered for whatever the next big thing was. But I think it should be remembered for all the weird, ambitious, specific products that companies brought. That's the real story.

FAQ

What makes CES 2026's tech announcements different from previous years?

CES 2026 shows a shift from broad, general-purpose products toward niche-specific solutions that solve particular problems brilliantly. Instead of trying to appeal to everyone, companies are building products for specific audiences: elderly care, professional chefs, people who want quiet ice makers. This represents a maturation of both AI and hardware technology, making it possible for smaller teams to build specialized products that previously would have required massive resources.

How does Project AVA's eye-tracking technology work?

Project AVA uses a built-in camera and computer vision algorithms to detect your facial position, eye direction, and gaze patterns. The AI processes this data locally on the device to determine where you're looking and what you're paying attention to, allowing the holographic character to make eye contact and respond appropriately. This real-time analysis enables the AI to offer contextual suggestions based on what you're doing on screen.

Is An'An the panda robot actually useful for elderly care?

An'An addresses a genuine need: social isolation among elderly populations is linked to serious health problems comparable to chronic smoking. The robot's emotional AI learns individual preferences and adapts behavior over time, creating a personalized companionship experience. It also enables remote monitoring by caregivers through alerts and behavior tracking, making it useful for both emotional support and practical oversight without replacing human interaction.

How does bone conduction in Lollipop Star actually work?

Bone conduction bypasses your ear canal entirely and sends vibrations directly through your skull bones to your inner ear. When you place the vibrating lollipop in your mouth, it transmits sound vibrations through your teeth and jawbone, which carries them to your cochlea. Your brain interprets these vibrations as sound, allowing you to hear music that nobody around you can detect, making it ideal for personal entertainment.

What are the advantages of ultrasonic knife vibration over traditional sharpness?

An ultrasonic blade vibrating at 30,000 oscillations per second moves through food rather than cutting through it, requiring significantly less pressure and reducing crushing of delicate items like tomatoes or bread. This approach is superior to raw blade sharpness for tasks where precision and minimal damage matter, and it's especially beneficial for people with limited hand strength or arthritis who struggle with traditional knives.

Could AI-powered appliances like the Govee ice maker become mainstream?

Absolutely. As AI becomes cheaper and sensors miniaturize, applying machine learning to optimize everyday appliances makes economic sense. The ice maker demonstrates how AI can solve annoying real-world problems—in this case, unnecessary noise—at a small computational cost. Expect to see similar approaches in other appliances where efficiency, noise reduction, or personalization matter to consumers willing to pay premium prices.

Why are VCs funding such niche products?

Venture capital follows market opportunities. Generic products face commoditization and margin pressure. Niche products serve smaller audiences willing to pay premium prices, reducing competition and enabling higher margins. Additionally, social media and online communities make it easier to find and reach specific customer segments directly, reducing marketing costs and making niche products economically viable for smaller companies and startups.

What happens to these products if their supporting servers shut down?

This is a legitimate concern for products with cloud dependencies or AI models that require online connectivity. Companies need to provide either offline functionality or clear commitments about long-term support. For elderly care robots especially, planned obsolescence or server shutdowns could leave customers with non-functional devices. This is an area where regulation and consumer protection standards are likely to evolve.

How do manufacturers ensure these products are durable long-term?

Durability requires extensive stress testing, quality control during manufacturing, and managing materials that withstand repeated use. For example, the ultrasonic knife needs materials that handle constant vibration without fatigue failure. This is where prototypes can look impressive while mass-manufactured versions might encounter unexpected failure patterns. Real durability data emerges only after thousands of units have been in use for months or years.

Will these weird products actually change consumer tech in meaningful ways?

Some will, some won't. Products addressing genuine needs with novel solutions—like An'An for elderly care—have real market potential. Others like the lollipops are novelties that might inspire future applications of bone conduction technology. The broader impact is cultural: proving that innovation doesn't need to follow established categories or target billions of users. This mindset shift encourages more companies to experiment with specific solutions rather than generic platforms.

What's Next at CES: The Ongoing Quest for the Weird

CES 2026 still has days left. More products will be announced. More weird stuff will hit the show floor. Some of it will genuinely matter. Some of it will be forgotten by next month.

That's the thing about breakthrough innovation. You can't predict which product will change everything and which one is a dead end until you're living with the actual market impact.

What we do know is that the people building these products believe in them. They've raised money, built prototypes, iterated on designs, and brought them to a massive tech conference. That commitment means something.

So keep an eye on these announcements over the next six months as they start shipping. An'An will enter the market first, probably. Then the ultrasonic knife. The ice maker is already available. The lollipops might still be in novelty production.

Project AVA is the wildcard. If Razer actually ships this, it'll be fascinating to watch the market response. If they abandon it, that tells a story too.

But regardless of what happens with individual products, CES 2026 has already made one thing clear: the era of generic, one-size-fits-all tech is ending. The future is weird, specific, and built by teams asking ambitious questions.

That's actually exciting.
