The TechRadar team was present at CES 2025: you can check out our main site CES 2025 News Center for highlights or catch up on every story from CES 2025. We saw everything from 8K TVs and foldable displays to new phones, laptops, smart home devices, and the latest in artificial intelligence.
And don’t forget follow us on tiktok and WhatsApp For all the highlights of the CES show!
Part of the appeal of the CES show each year is that we get to see some pretty unusual, out-of-the-box products, along with the usual slew of standard TVs, laptops, speakers, and electronics. And CES 2025 certainly didn’t disappoint when it came to launches and reveals that were a little out of the ordinary.
Here, we’ve compiled the most amazing views we found on the CES 2025 floor in Las Vegas. We’ve got cute little robots, weird-looking face masks, systems to project makeup onto your face, and more.
While you may not want to wait in line to buy all (or any) of these various products, they’re definitely worth checking out if you’re interested in the technology. They all also provide evidence that tech companies are still capable of innovating and surprising us, even if the best iPhones have looked very similar in the past.
1. Robot Mirumi
Small robots are nothing new to us here at TechRadar, but it’s not often you see cute ones designed to clip onto your bag, which is what we get with Yukai Engineering’s Mirumi robot. It might be the strangest thing we saw at CES 2025, even though this year has been a particularly strong strange tech field.
In reality, the robot only has one trick: stealing glances at people passing by, thanks to the motion sensors built inside. The idea is, we think, that it’s a bit like having a small child or pet to take with you, something that is a curious companion rather than something that offers any functionality.
2. Electric salt spoon

Too much salt is bad for you, if you didn’t know, but the taste and flavor that salt adds to foods makes it difficult to reduce or do without it altogether. Enter the electric salt spoon: a device currently only on sale in Japan, that has a clever way of making your food taste saltier without additional seasonings.
What it does is cluster the sodium ions in whatever you’re eating, so they’re more concentrated on the spoon. This makes food taste saltier, even if it doesn’t have extra salt, and while we haven’t been able to try this clever topping for ourselves, we’re definitely impressed with the idea.
3. Willo AutoFlo Plus

Anything that encourages kids to brush their teeth more often and for longer has to be good, and that’s what Willo AutoFlo Plus was created for: it automates as much of the toothbrushing process as possible, channeling toothpaste and adding some movement to help teeth stay clean and shiny.
The device even takes care of the rinsing for you, so you don’t have to worry about it, while the accompanying app keeps track of your tooth brushing habits. Pricing starts at $249 (around £200/AU$400) and you can choose between brush sizes and toothpaste flavors when you place your order.
4. Wonder Blocks and Petals

Bug watchers can take their hobby to a whole new level with Wonder Blocks and the Petal Camera. It’s a high-tech system that attracts insects, butterflies and bees, and allows you to monitor them from an app on your phone; There’s even built-in AI that will identify the little creatures you’re looking at on the units.
It’s a modular system, so you can combine blocks and chambers as needed to fit the space you have (and of course, you can add your own foliage and other extras). The Petal camera, which looks like a flower, also has a solar panel attached, reducing the number of recharges needed.
5. Kosé Mixed Reality Makeup

Imagine being able to see what your makeup would look like before you apply it: that’s the promise of a new mixed reality makeup system from Kosé, which uses high-speed projection mapping to virtually paint your face and lets you try out a variety of options. of styles to see which ones you like best.
The technology does more than simply project an image: it actually looks at and measures the contours of the face you’re working with in real time, to create a realistic effect without the need for actual makeup. For now, it’s not available outside of Japan, but we hope it hits international markets soon.
6. Nanoleaf LED Light Therapy Face Mask
This isn’t a device you really want to use in public, but the Nanoleaf LED Light Therapy Face Mask can apparently do wonders for your complexion. As you may have deduced from the name and image above, it uses light (both red and near-infrared) to rejuvenate the skin and treat a variety of conditions.
There are actually seven different skin conditions that the mask is designed for, and you can switch between them as needed: The device has FDA regulatory approval in the US, adding credibility to its claims about healing and well-being of the skin. It will cost you $149.99 in the US – that’s around £120 / AU$240 – although we don’t have any official information on global pricing and availability at the moment.
7. Nekojita FuFu
From the same company Yukai Engineering that brought us the Mirumi robot (see above), we have the Nékojita FuFu. This little robot is designed to sit on the side of your cup, bowl or plate and then gently blow on whatever you’re drinking and eating, so it cools down more quickly so you can consume it comfortably.
There’s a little more tech involved here than you might imagine, including seven different blowing modes that alternate randomly (to make the robot seem a little more natural and spontaneous). Do you like its appearance? There will be a crowdfunding campaign to make this little robot a real product.
