FACE THE FUTURE

We round up five fabulous finds from this year's Consumer Electronics Show

- JUSTIN CONNOLLY

I SWEAR the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas comes round more than once a year... but when I check my diary it says it's only on every January. The event gathers together serious big hitters from the tech world, along with some innovative minnows, to show off their latest cutting-edge wares, and the latest took place last week. Not everything on show at the event will make it to the market, but some of the stuff is already available. There is way too much on show to cover it comprehensively, so I've picked out just five of my favourite gadgets from this year's event.

You'll find prices and release dates, if they've been revealed... if not, there's a web address where you can find out more. Here's what caught my eye.

ROBOROCK SAROS Z70

Regular readers will likely know I'm a massive fan of robot vacuum cleaners - it's one of the few high-tech gadgets I own that I would replace immediately if it somehow ceased working.

But they do come with limitations. Stuff being left on the floor for them to run over being one. Welcome to the future where that does not happen, then.

Roborock has invented a robot vacuum that has a robotic arm that can pick stuff up when it comes across a stray object.
