CES 2026: Earbuds with brain-scanning technology, AI enabled bird feeders, and more humanoid robots
About this episode
-As early as the end of this year, your earbuds could pull double-duty, pumping out tunes and keeping an eye on your brain’s health. The product being released today is the NAOX Link NX01, an in-ear EEG designed to replace the wire-covered caps you’ve seen at a sleep clinic.
-Birdbuddy was one of the first smart bird feeder brands, with a wildly successful Kickstarter back in 2020. And this year, they’ve added birdsong to their species identification capabilities.
-For better or worse, CES 2026 is shaping up to be a big year for humanoid robots. Chinese company Agibot showed up with two: the roughly human-sized A2 and the slightly smaller X2, both of which were displaying their surprisingly impressive dancing abilities.
