The Consumer Electronics Show (CES)
Featuring more than 2,700 companies that showcased their latest innovations, the Consumer Electronics Show, wrapped up its four day event last Thursday. Tucked away in the Microsoft Pavilion, but drawing large crowds was the Microsoft Robotics studio booth, where we demoed several consumer robots including Yujin’s iRobiQ and Mostitech’s Mir. At the show, Microrobot announced its new robot, Herey, a dynamic six legged robot which is controlled through Microsoft Robotics Studio’ Visual Programming Language.
