Kolibree

Even brushing got an upgrade at CES. Kolibree unveiled a new smart brush, a toothbrush with a computer onboard to monitor your brushing and give suggestions. Because everyone wants to be yelled at by a toothbrush.

ODG R-8 AR

Their products would learn the behaviors of the people in the house and adjust accordingly. (An article on deep machine learning coming next issue.)
