Intuition Robotics introduced the ElliQ Caregiver Solution on Monday, an AI-powered system that includes the ElliQ companion robot and a new Caregiver app to help caregivers monitor the health of homebound seniors.
Originally, the bobblehead-esque animatronic was mainly a friendly looking Amazon Alexa-like voice assistant designed to offer companionship to seniors living alone. Unlike Alexa, though, the ElliQ is proactive, prompting seniors to talk to it and...

Buying a smart home product today means checking which ecosystems it works with by looking for the little “Works with Apple Home” or “Works with Google” badge on the package. Matter was supposed to get rid of those because if a product works with Matter, it should work with all the big smart home platforms. That hasn’t happened yet, and now we have one more badge to look for: the Matter badge.
Getting all those badges is about to get simpler for...
The PalmKey door lock from Tapo has a fingerprint reader and a camera for scanning your palm. | Image: Tapo
Tapo is the latest brand trying to let you open your front door with just a wave of your palm. The company announced the PalmKey smart door lock today, which lets you enter the house with a PIN, a fingerprint, or a palm scan.
The palm scanner requires your hand to be roughly four to 10 inches away from the reader, and according to Tapo, it’ll work if your hand is wet or dirty...

Home security cameras are usually good at getting a wide shot of your yard and whatever’s passing through it — but a new camera can help you get a close-up on your visitors, too.
Tapo’s new HybridCam Duo camera sticks two cameras together: a more traditional security camera with a wide-angle lens, plus a second camera that can pan, tilt, and zoom in to capture details.

At last year’s CES, we heard from the company behind Ultraloq and U-tec about the $69 Ulticam Dot, a portable security camera that was supposed to launch over the summer. But according to Xthings chief strategy officer Matthew Brown, it delayed the launch until Q1 2025 in part to work on what it considers a “disruptive” feature: giving every Ulticam product seven days of free cloud storage for recordings and offering all features without a premium subscription.

Ring is doing something rare for a technology brand: upgrading devices that customers have already purchased. The company is updating its outdoor cameras to boost video resolution, but it’s not just new customers who will benefit — existing owners of the floodlight and spotlight cams will get the upgrade, too.
Ring’s series of outdoor cameras...

Home security company Kami Vision is introducing a new camera that’s designed especially for seniors living on their own.

Intel is announcing the rest of the Arrow Lake family of CPUs at CES today, with options for thin-and-light laptops all the way up to gaming notebooks. These mobile processors will appear in many of the computers being announced at CES this week, with the 200HX series being paired with next-gen GPUs we’re expecting Nvidia to announce later today and the 200H and 200U series of chips destined for thin-and-light and premium laptops.
While Intel will continue to supply...

It’s 2025, and Microsoft is kicking off the year by reminding everyone that support for Windows 10 ends in October. While the company has been trying to entice Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11 with full-screen prompts throughout 2024, it’s now calling 2025 “the year of the Windows 11 PC refresh.”
Last year, Microsoft kicked off 2024 by declaring it was “the year of the AI PC,” before launching a range of Copilot Plus PCs several...
