Ten Innovative Gadgets Showcased at CES 2026 Technology Fair

An AI pocket pet, a vibrating ultrasonic knife and a 'paper battery' were among the interesting and unusual products on display at the world's most influential technology fair, CES, in Las Vegas this week.

Running annually in the first days of the new year, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) puts major brands such as Samsung and LG alongside small companies, start-ups and inventors, all vying for attention in the crowded tech marketplace.

The AI pocket pet, called 'Pocket Pal', is a small, furry device that responds to voice commands and touch, learning its owner's habits and preferences over time.

Perhaps the most unusual gadget on our list is the vibrating ultrasonic knife, which uses high-frequency vibrations to cut through materials with extreme precision.

The 'paper battery' is exactly what it sounds like - a battery so thin and flexible it can be folded, rolled, or even cut with scissors without losing functionality.
