The TechRadar crew was on-site at CES 2025: you can visit our primary CES 2025 news hub for the highlights or review every CES 2025 development. We encountered everything from 8K televisions and foldable screens to novel smartphones, laptops, smart home devices, as well as the latest advancements in AI.
And remember to follow us on TikTok and WhatsApp for all the highlights from the CES exhibition floor!
A significant part of the attraction of the CES exhibition each year is that we get to observe some quite peculiar and unconventional products, alongside the usual array of televisions, laptops, speakers, and mainstream electronics. And CES 2025 definitely did not fail to impress with launches and reveals that were somewhat unconventional.
Here, we’ve gathered the most surprising oddities we encountered on the CES 2025 floor in Las Vegas. We have delightful little robots, unusual face coverings, systems to project makeup onto your visage, and much more.
Though you might not be inclined to queue up to purchase all (or any) of these various items, they are certainly worth a glance if you have an interest in technology. They all serve as proof that tech firms can still innovate and astonish us, even if the latest iPhones have appeared quite similar over the last decade or so.
1. Mirumi robot
Petite robots are nothing unfamiliar to us here at TechRadar, but it’s not common to see adorable ones designed to attach to your bag, as is the case with the Mirumi robot from Yukai Engineering. It might just be the most bizarre item we witnessed at CES 2025, although this year’s unusual tech showcase was particularly robust.
The robot possesses just one unique feature, which is to steal glances at passing individuals, thanks to the motion sensors embedded within it. The concept appears to be – or so we think – akin to having a small child or a pet to carry around with you, serving as a curious companion more than anything offering actual functionality.
2. Electric Salt Spoon

Excessive salt is detrimental to health, if you were not aware, but the flavor and zest that salt contributes to food makes it challenging to reduce it or eliminate it completely. Introducing the Electric Salt Spoon: a device presently available only in Japan, which ingeniously enhances the salinity of your meals without additional seasonings.
It works by clustering sodium ions in what you’re consuming, making them more concentrated on the spoon. This results in your food tasting saltier, even without added salt – and while we haven’t had the opportunity to test this innovative piece of cutlery ourselves, we are genuinely impressed by the concept.
3. Willo AutoFlo Plus

Any product that motivates children to brush their teeth more regularly and effectively is beneficial, and that’s precisely what the Willo AutoFlo Plus is designed to achieve: it automates much of the tooth-cleaning process, delivering toothpaste and providing motion to aid in keeping teeth clean and sparkling.
The device even handles the rinsing for you, so that’s yet another concern eliminated, while the connected app monitors brushing habits. Pricing starts at $249 (about £200 / AU$400), and you can select from various brush sizes and toothpaste flavors when placing your order.
4. Wonder Blocks and Petal

Insect enthusiasts can elevate their pastime with the Wonder Blocks and the Petal camera. It’s an advanced setup that captivates insects, butterflies, and bees while allowing you to observe them via an application on your smartphone – it even includes integrated AI that identifies the tiny creatures you’re examining on the devices.
This is a modular design, enabling you to mix and match blocks and cameras according to your spatial needs (and you can certainly incorporate your own plants and other accessories). The Petal camera, resembling a flower, is also equipped with a solar panel, minimizing the frequency of required recharges.
5. Kosé Mixed Reality Makeup

Envision being able to evaluate how your cosmetics may appear prior to application: that’s the guarantee of a cutting-edge Mixed Reality Makeup system from Kosé, which employs high-speed projection mapping to digitally apply makeup to your face, letting you experiment with numerous styles to determine your favorites.
This technology does more than merely project an image; it actually analyzes and gauges the face’s contours it interacts with in real-time, delivering a lifelike effect with zero makeup applied. Currently, it isn’t accessible outside of Japan, but we are optimistic it will reach global markets soon.
6. Nanoleaf LED Light Therapy Face Mask
This isn’t a device you’d particularly wish to wear publicly, but the Nanoleaf LED Light Therapy Face Mask reportedly works wonders for your complexion. As hinted by the name and the image above, it utilizes light (both red and near-infrared) to revitalize your skin and address various conditions.
There are actually seven distinct skin issues the mask aims to confront, and you can alternate between them as necessary – the product has received FDA regulatory approval in the U.S., enhancing its credibility concerning skin healing and wellness. It will set you back $149.99 in the U.S. – approximately £120 / AU$240, though currently, we have no official updates on global pricing and availability.
7. Nékojita FuFu
From the same Yukai Engineering firm that introduced us to the Mirumi robot (see above), we present the Nékojita FuFu. This tiny robot is designed to rest at the edge of your cup, bowl, or plate, gently blowing on your beverages and food, allowing them to cool more swiftly for comfortable consumption.
There’s a bit more technology involved than one might expect, including seven various blowing settings that cycle randomly (to render the robot’s behavior more natural and spontaneous). Fancy the concept? A crowdfunding campaign is set to launch to turn this little robot into a market-ready product.
