We’ve seen plenty of robot arms over the years, from industrial-sized monstrosities and commercially-oriented automatons to desktop-sized robo-limbs you can program to your liking. So far, though, we’ve never really seen robot arms integrated into everyday consumer products. That changes with the Roborock Saros Z70, which puts a robotic arm on top of a robot…
While e-paper displays are now used for a few niche tablets and writing devices, they still primarily serve as a screen for ebook readers.

The Bryght Labs ChessUp 2 takes that original chessboard and…

Portable coffee makers are great, as they let you enjoy a proper cup while enjoying the outdoors. Problem is, they still require quite a fair amount of gear, especially if you plan to ground your beans fresh before brewing.
