Toyota gave updates to its ambitious Woven City project, a planned community at the base of Mt. Fuji first announced in 2020. CEO Akio Toyoda showed off how the company taught robot arms to fold T-shirts Japanese style to demonstrate its dexterity.
In another unexpected move, Toyota also announced that it’s “exploring rockets.” The chairman did not offer any details explaining what he meant, though he did display a rendering of a rocket designed by Japanese spaceflight company Interstellar Technologies.
Samsung unveiled Samsung Food on Sunday, a new feature on its 2025 TVs that uses AI to recognize food it “sees” on your screen and generate a recipe for it. This innovative feature also offers the option to show the progress of grocery and takeout deliveries you place through the Samsung Food mobile app.
John Deere revealed an electric robot lawnmower meant for commercial-grade landscaping, which can operate for up to 10 hours and has a 360-degree view. While this mower is quieter than its gas-powered counterparts, it raises questions about whether these machines will come for human jobs in the landscaping industry.
Nvidia made no major announcements.
Sony remained mum on any significant reveals during their keynote.
Toyota took center stage with its various robot arm demonstrations and its sudden interest in rockets.
Samsung showcased Samsung Food as well as their home robot, Ballie, which is set to roll out the first half of 2025.
