AI in Physical Products

As AI becomes more and more popular people have been implementing and using it in different things. We have seen many uses of AI from Open AI’s GPT to AI being implemented in Gmail and other apps like Click Up. With CES 2024 just happening we are seeing AI being implemented into physical gadgets and products. After doing a ton of research there are definitely useful AI gadgets and kinda pointless ones. Although it is definitely up to the reader’s opinion these three inventions that we will be going over are somewhat pointless.

HUMANE PIN

The Humane Pin is a wearable AI device developed by Humane, a startup founded by former Apple executives. It's a small, lightweight, screenless gadget that attaches to clothing and uses sensors, projectors, and AI technology to offer various features. The device is powered by an advanced Snapdragon platform in partnership with Qualcomm and is designed to provide contextual information and control other devices. Users interact with the Humane Pin by talking to it, and it uses generative AI to answer, making it a standalone device with its own SIM card. In addition to its basic features, the Humane Pin can be paired with other devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and smart home systems, for seamless integration and control of your digital ecosystem. Some additional use cases include health and fitness tracking, language translation, voice-activated tasks, personal security, hands-free navigation, and augmented reality experiences.

RABBIT R1

The Rabbit R1 is an AI-powered gadget that can use your apps for you. It's like a personal assistant that can control your music, order you a car, your groceries, send your messages, and more, all through a single interface. The device is square, bright orange, and comes with a 2.88-inch touchscreen display. It's powered by Rabbit OS, which is based on a "Large Action Model" or LAM and can control your apps and services regardless of whether they're websites, apps, or desktop platforms. The R1 also has a camera and a SIM card slot, and supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The device is available for preorder at $199 and is currently shipping to users in the US, Japan, and a few European countries.

SAMSUNG BAILLIE

Samsung’s Ballie robot debuted at CES 2024. Originally designed in 2020 to be a versatile personal home assistant, it has since undergone a redesign and is set to be released in 2024. This cute and compact robot can autonomously drive around your home, providing various services and features to make your life easier. Ballie can manage your smart home devices, answer your phone calls, and even entertain your pets. With its built-in projector, Ballie can display videos, images, and even video calls on any surface. The Ballie robot is a fun and helpful addition to any home, offering convenience and entertainment in one tiny package.

In the end, Although the Humane Pin looks cool, there are many reasons why a regular smartphone is better. For example, smartphones have larger screens for easier viewing of content, more powerful processors for advanced applications, and more storage capacity for media and files. Additionally, smartphones are more versatile and can perform a wider range of tasks, such as taking photos and videos, gaming, and accessing a vast array of apps. While the Humane Pin offers a unique and innovative approach to wearable technology, it may not replace the functionality and convenience of a traditional smartphone for everyone. As well as the Humane Pin, Rabbit R1 and Ballie is the same, in my opinion, they are both cool and possibly an advancement in tech innovation I don’t think they are very needed or practical. What are your guy’s thoughts?
