…a “rolling globe” to navigate. Attendees of this year’s CES got to see Miroki in action at Enchanted Tools’ demo area, where CEO Jérôme Monceaux outlined the robot’s technological benefits, as well as the company’s artistic and narrative goals. “Most robots on the market today have limited action and movement capabilities and lackluster communication, which inhibits their utility and hampers acceptance and adoption. The world deserves better,” Monceaux said in a statement. “We believe robots can be ‘more than useful’ and can re-enchant the world rather than dehumanize it,” he said. “That premise — that technological innovation can be both…

…be demonstrated at Ambarella’s invitation-only event taking place during CES. Built with Oculli radar technology It features Ambarella’s Oculii radar technology, including AI software algorithms that dynamically adapt radar waveforms to the surrounding environment—providing high angular resolution of 0.5 degrees, an ultra-dense point cloud up to 10s of thousands of points per frame and a long detection range up to 500+ meters. All of this is achieved with an order of magnitude fewer antenna MIMO channels, which reduces the data bandwidth and achieves significantly lower power consumption than competing 4D imaging radars, it claimed. Ambarella’s centralized 4D imaging radar with…
