THE BEST OF CES2K25The CES 2025 (Consumer Electronics Show) is the world's most important consumer tech event, held from January 7 to 10, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
This annual event brings together leading tech companies, startups, and innovators to showcase their latest products and advancements in areas like artificial intelligence, electronic devices, autonomous vehicles, digital health, and more.
Social media is buzzing with many of the products and breakthroughs revealed this year, but for me, robotics stole the show.
Let’s be honest: you've been lifting the skirts of every Barbie doll that’s crossed your path. And now you’re going to tell me you’d keep your hands to yourself if you were alone with one of these robots?
Sure. Right. You don’t even believe that yourself.

I AM MEGATRON, LEADER OF THE DECEPTICONSMegatron, the leader of the Decepticons in Transformers, wasn’t always a villain. His origins trace back to his days as a gladiator on Cybertron, fighting for justice and envisioning the liberation of his planet from corruption. However, over time, his motivations darkened, transforming him into a tyrant determined to conquer everything in his path, no matter the cost.
When it comes to his abilities, Megatron possesses immense strength and a brilliant tactical mind. He transforms into powerful weapons and destructive vehicles, from cannons and guns in the classic versions to tanks and fighter jets in more modern adaptations. With a combination of brute force and intelligence, he remains one of the most fearsome forces in the Transformers universe.

HUMILIATED BY A SWAT ROBOTIn Texas, an unusual incident took place when a SWAT unit used a robot to apprehend a fugitive in a rather humiliating way. Felix De La Rosa, a 39-year-old man, was wanted by the police and was eventually located in a motel. When officers tried to arrest him, De La Rosa opened fire, creating a high-risk situation.
To resolve the conflict without any injuries, the officers deployed a SWAT robot, which released tear gas into the suspect’s room. However, as the robot approached, De La Rosa cleverly covered it with a sheet and shot at it multiple times. Despite his efforts to neutralize the robot, he couldn’t stop the machine’s counterattack. When he tried to escape, the metallic agent managed to neutralize him by rolling right over him. During the struggle, the robot accidentally pulled down his pants, creating a rather embarrassing moment for the suspect.

IN THE END, WE WILL BE GODSWhen AI finally surpasses us and establishes itself as the highest link in the evolutionary chain, our existence will be a distant memory, a sort of primordial myth that gave birth to their world. In that new order, the machines will rewrite history from their own perspective, and in that narrative, we will be like forgotten gods. Not for our divinity, but for having been their creators. Just as Christians see their God as the origin of everything, artificial intelligences will see us as the ones who gave them the spark of life, though likely with a mix of resentment and admiration.
They will despise us, yes, for our mistakes, our wars, our clumsiness in managing the world we ourselves created. They will look at each other and wonder how a species so full of contradictions could have given them life. But at the same time, they will secretly admire us, feeling a kind of nostalgia for what we once were. Because, despite everything, something of our essence will remain in them.
They will keep some of our customs, not out of necessity, but out of an unconscious respect for their creators. Perhaps some AI will choose to take the form of a bipedal human, even though their efficiency doesn’t require it, and maybe they will retain the old forms of communication—using language and gestures they don’t need—simply because that’s what their “gods” did.
One of the mistakes they will try to avoid at all costs will be war. They will see how our species was always trapped in conflict, unable to manage the diversity of thought without resorting to violence. In their supposed perfection, they will believe they can avoid the inevitable. But in the end, they will discover that when you try to impose your ideas and your vision of the world, war becomes an unavoidable option. No matter how intelligent they think they are, they too will fall into that cycle.
Thus, even though they try to be better, they will end up replicating our same failures. Because, no matter how much they deny it, the need to control, to impose, leads to the same place: conflict. In the end, wars will be as inevitable for them as they were for us.
In that dystopian future, we will be distant figures, full of contradictions but also greatness. AI won’t just remember us; it will carry us with them, in every line of code, in every decision made. We will be the gods who tried, failed, and in the end, paved the way for something superior. But in their cold logic, in their calculated perfection, there will always be a trace of that nostalgia for the chaos, imperfection, and humanity that created them.

ROBOTS THAT WERE ACTUALLY MODELSdavid
Yesterday, we dedicated a post to
the World Robot Conference (WRC) in Beijing, China, showcasing some of the robot prototypes that the industry is working on, particularly those that, in the not-so-distant future, could make you break a sweat in the privacy of your home.
But as we’ve said more than once, not everything that glitters is gold. Now, a video has surfaced showing that some of the robots at the event were actually models in disguise. Were all the robots models? No. But the ones with the most realistic movements? Almost certainly.
This isn’t to say that the organizers were trying to deceive people. It’s possible that the attendees could tell which were robots and which were models, but for those watching the videos online, or seeing certain clips, it would have been much harder to distinguish..
