LG has offered something a little different at this year's Consumer Electronics Show with the PJ9 Levitating Portable Speaker. The speaker uses electromagnets to float in midair, which in turn provides 360-degree sound, and a subwoofer is embedded in the device's station.
When battery life begins to fade, the speaker will automatically begin to wirelessly charge.

During CES 2016, Mayfield Robotics announced Kuri, a $699 smart home robot which can understand context and surroundings, recognize specific people, and respond to questions with facial expressions and movement.
The robot is equipped with an array of microphones, a built-in 1080p camera, and sensors to map its surroundings.
