It wouldn\u2019t be a tech convention without a smattering of weird and wonderful devices.<\/p>\n

The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 in Las Vegas<\/a>\u00a0featured more than 4,500 exhibitors.<\/p>\n

These booths showed off<\/a> bizarre gadgets including, a spy camera for your garden, a vacuum that picks socks up from the floor and a cheese maker that makes mozzarella in two hours.<\/p>\n

DailyMail.com chose several wacky ones<\/a> such as an adorable fluffy robot that imitates a shy infant.<\/p>\n

An animatronic pet like a shy infant<\/h2>\n

Mirumi features sensors that detect people approaching, prompting it to either look around inquisitively or seem to duck for cover.<\/p>\n

It also has two long arms that wrap around a strap or handle of a bag or purse, clinging to it like a small child.<\/p>\n

Being made in pink, black, white or gray, its Japanese start-up Yukai Engineering hopes to launch the robot in 2025 via crowdfunding. Models will be priced at around $70 each.<\/p>\n

\"These <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

These cute little animatronic animals are called Mirumis, and are able to cling to straps or poles while shifting their heads around<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This picture shows another Mirumi<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The stall was packed at CES, with many stopping to stroke the adorable robots and speak to them in soft voices like those used for a pet cat or dog.<\/p>\n

Last year, Yukai Engineering debuted an adorable circular cushion with a cat-like tail.<\/p>\n

The cushion contains sensors that alter the movement of the cat’s tail depending on how fast or slowly someone strokes it.<\/p>\n

This product, called Qoobo, is available online, and can currently be purchased for $253.44 on Amazon or $125 on eBay.<\/p>\n

Garden spy camera\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Many have invested in doorbell cameras to check who’s at the door, but what about a camera to check who’s eating your vegetable patch?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the idea behind Petal, a 12-megapixel 4k camera atop a like-like plastic stalk that can be positioned anywhere in the garden.<\/p>\n

Powered by a solar \u2018leaf\u2019, the camera monitors the garden throughout the day and uses AI to identify visitors to the garden before sending details to the user’s smartphone.<\/p>\n

It can be positioned by flowers to find out what insects are visiting them, or in a vegetable patch to discover which critter is eating all the vegetables.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"The <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The above shows the Petal cam, which could reveal to avid gardeners who has been eating their prize vegetables<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The camera will be available this spring and cost under $100.<\/p>\n

It’s sold under Wonder branding, which is owned by Bird Buddy, a company based in Michigan behind a solar-powered bird feeder that uses a camera to photograph birds as they visit to grab some seeds.<\/p>\n

Make cheese at home with a cheese-maker<\/h2>\n

A cheesemaker could soon be coming to the kitchen near you.<\/p>\n

Fromaggio \u2014 whose name is a mixture of the French word for cheese, Fromage, and Italian, Formaggio \u2014 was released late last year and has already sold out.<\/p>\n

The machine can make at least 17 different cheeses, including family favorites like cheddar and parmesan and artisanal types like blue cheese.<\/p>\n

The mozzarella is the fastest, taking only two hours, while it also has instructions for an aged parmesan (made in two hours, and then aged in a cupboard for a year).<\/p>\n

\"Pictured <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Pictured above is CEO Glen Feder with two of his Fromaggio cheese making machines<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Its cheeses take eight to nine hours to make on average, and many require people to return part way through to add a new ingredient.<\/p>\n

The cheeses don\u2019t make a home or kitchen smell like cheese, the developers said, but more than make up for that with their flavor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0DailyMail.com tried some feta made by the machine, and has to say that it is absolutely delicious.<\/p>\n

CEO Glen Feder told DailyMail.com he had the idea of developing the machine after returning to the US following a decade living in Europe and finding the cheeses just weren\u2019t up to the same standard.<\/p>\n

\u2018Our cheeses often tend to be much more processed,\u2019 he told DailyMail.com, \u2018you also just don\u2019t know what additives or chemicals have been put into them\u2019.<\/p>\n

Fromaggio has already sold 200 machines and has another 1,000 coming onto the market in February.<\/p>\n

They are priced at $745 to $800.<\/p>\n

\"The <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The above shows the robotic turtle being sold by the pool cleaner company. It may reach market in the next two years<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A robot turtle to track water quality<\/h2>\n

Pool cleaner company Beatbot has made a robot turtle to track water quality.<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman told DailyMail.com that the robot swims like a turtle, has a camera in its head and a solar panel for a shell \u2014 allowing it to rise to the surface to recharge.<\/p>\n

Called RoboTurtle, it has been designed for conservationists to allow them to survey a natural environment without disturbing it.<\/p>\n

But staff said many people had stopped by asking whether they could buy one for their children to play with in the pool.<\/p>\n

There is no information at this stage over how much the turtle may cost, but it is likely to be at least four digits.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beatbot sells the \u2018world\u2019s best pool cleaners\u2019 with many listed at more than $2,000 each.<\/p>\n

The RoboTurtle is expected to be released within the next two years, after being shown at this year\u2019s CES.<\/p>\n

A vacuum cleaner that can pick up socks<\/h2>\n

A cleaning company has come up with an ingenious way to stop your robotic vacuum from getting stuck on discarded socks and underwear.<\/p>\n

RoboRock debuted a new vacuum, Roborock Saros Z70 at CES which was still autonomous but also had a crane installed inside with a claw on the end.<\/p>\n

In a demonstration, viewers were shown the machine approaching a sock, picking it up, and putting it in a waste basket.<\/p>\n

Staff told DailyMail.com that this was just a demonstration version that had been pre-programmed.<\/p>\n

They expect to be able to bring a version of the vacuum to market that can pick up and move socks as it finds them within five months.<\/p>\n

The invention was feted with numerous rewards at the CES fair, including a gong for best smart home or home tech.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
