DJI, a leader in the drone industry, has been winning at CES with a product that is meant for the ground. It’s Osmo Pocket handheld camera with stabilized gimbal allows users to capture flawless footage on the move.

Automation is being implemented in almost every industry, and now ping pong can be added to the list. Omron’s AI-enabled table tennis tutor was one of the most impressive pieces of technology on the show floor. ‘Forpheus’ has been turning attendees’ heads with its natural reflexes and elite use of machine learning.
