From stair-climbing robot vacuums to wearable exoskeletons, these futuristic gadgets aren't prototypes but real products ready for use
The International Funkausstellung (IFA), better known as "radio exhibition", is Europe's biggest tech show, held in Berlin every year. The 2025 edition, which took place earlier this month, was a spectacular showcase of futuristic tech that is ready to hit the market-from a stairclimbing robot vacuum cleaner to a 360-degree projector and a robot that helps you improve your tennis game. This is our pick of the gadgets that caught our eye at the IFA.
WE ARE REWIND GB-001
A Bluetooth speaker, an amp, a karaoke machine, a cassette recorder, a cassette player, and a wired speaker-that's the We Are Rewind GB-001. With its retro, boombox design, the GB-001 is not just a beauty but has a combined power output of 104 watts, excellent bass, a clear and defined treble, and individual dials on the speaker for further customisation of the sound.
