what's up guys i'm ben from authentech and CES just wrapped up now it's sort of
a sensory overload over there there's a hundred and eighty plus thousand people
from around the globe all gathering in the one spot but i want to show you guys
a little sneak peek of some of the cool unique funny and crazy tech gadgets that
i got a see at the show plus I got a quick interview with Zach from
jerry-rigged everything he's a super cool guy and a quick sit-down chat with
the VP of Marketing at Nita huge things - neato for sponsoring today's video now
I already posted some of the behind the scenes of my coverage at CES on my
Instagram make sure you're following me there if not already so day one I tried
to focus mostly on Smart Home stuff and then there was way way more smart home
tech than there was two years ago when I last attended now every company is
yearning for your front door from doorbell cameras to indoor sensors
indoor cameras and smart home accessories galore
Gillette was making 3d printed custom razor handles there was flow by Moen a
device that helps stop water leaks smart cleaning water filtration systems
speaking of water there were funny things we probably didn't ask for like
voice controlled faucets and bathtubs but then again I'm sure ill adopt over
time I got a quick meet up with Zach you've probably seen his smartphone
durability vids before he's an awesome down-to-earth dude and we chatted for a
quick bit what's up guys today we're with Zach from jerry-rigged everything
what's up buddy how are you doing I'm doing good how are you good I just have
a couple questions for you the future of tech everywhere is just gonna be more
connected which I'm not a super huge fan of I don't have any like smart speakers
are like weird cameras and I just write ooh avoid as being
connected as much as possible so I don't like that trend but that's where things
are headed so since you do a lot with cell phones what's one thing that maybe
you see comment we're starting to plateau a certain cell phones answer so
what about cameras or screens we've hit you know bezel with screens so maybe
what's one thing maybe a wish list that you want to see done better or something
like that I don't know it's hard to say and I think that's why we've been a hit
that plateau with cell phones is because you know there is not really anything
that can be done with cell phones yet don't quote me on that because
something's going to happen it's going to change the future I remember there's
a quote maybe you can find out who said it but he was like everything that has
been invented has already been invented and that was like a hundred years ago
before like the microwave and like all these massive inventions that have
changed the course of history so you can't say everything's been invented
because something else is going to come out but cell phones they've just been
the same for so long I still used the Galaxy s8 for like two years ago because
nothing else really kind of captures my attention and warrants a full swath of
my daily driver I think when the cameras like the only thing that slightly
appealing is having the dual cam like the right angle or the telephoto
lens eventually I'll switch for one of those so you're still in the essay yes
the essay that's a look at that he's got a D brand skin on there funny story
about the D brand thing so not everybody knows that unless you follow me on
Twitter yeah but I tweeted D brand and I was like hey if you guys changed the
name of carbon hello to bulletproof banana I will put it on my own phone and
they literally on their website right now if you go to deeper and skins it's
always carbon green carbon blue but then when you get to yellow it's bulletproof
banana awesome so I held up my end of the deal in my phone is skin with it
they're pretty funny group of guys and huge thanks to Zack for the quick Meetup
and chat one cool announcement on both looking
forward to and semi scared is a partnership of Amazon ki and Mike use
smart garage door opener basically align Amazon deliveries right inside your
garage if you so choose for safety and peace of mind of package deliveries now
it's just another reason to have those security cameras recording 24/7 in the
kitchen there's home brewers for beer kombucha and even your nitro coffee
there's an automatic garbage bins automatic bread making machines lots and
lots of robots little and big small toys for your cats
then massive large-scale fast moving production line robots those are fun to
watch robots and AI are basically going to take over the world so let's just
accept it now speaking of robots that aren't taking over but are actually
helpful for your everyday life that brings me to knee though today we're
talking with Stephane the VP of Marketing at Nino's Eddy how you doing
if you've been following me I just reviewed the d7 that thing is top tier
of the robot vacuums they have a few other products in the lineup so I want
to see how they compare to each other and maybe get a sneak peek of what's
coming down the road in short how does the d4 d6 and d7 compare with each other
basically there's products for each consumer that's out there so the d4 is
kind of the base product if you are a user that has hardwood floors smaller
flat that's a perfect product for you they all upgrade over times week
and you capabilities you step up to the d6 we have multiple floor plans so if
you have more than one floor it recognizes each floor that's on you can
set your no go lines which is really a great piece of control so you can say oh
don't go here I got a pile of clothes here and then the other thing that the
d6 has it's actually better for pet hair it's got a brush that's designed to be
able to pick up pet hair a lot better okay and then you step up to the top of
the language d7 and Bend that's the one you did the review of yes and the d7
when you did the review of course we had no go lines and it has the longest run
time but it also now has some cleaning so great so you can control the robot
where to go after a dinner you know send them to go just do the dining room table
everyday 9 o'clock at night after we're done eating speaking of the no go lines
and the zone cleaning are awesome features I use them all the time are
there any other software or future updates that we might be able to look
forward to certainly I think in the future we're gonna get to a point where
the product is gonna know more about its environment and will start actually
recommending things to the user saying like hey what if I did this here because
I see I get stuck here a lot so you'll start to see more capabilities that will
add in that will make the product continue to get more intelligent about
its surroundings and allow a more automated experience to
where you have to do less on the control side but for now we've put in all those
controls so users have known alignment zones you can direct a word not to build
on where you want it to go so we spoke about the near term future of these
smart robotics and cleaning what do you think the long term future holds yeah
the long term future is really gonna be these products are gonna be seriously
getting smarter over time without the help of our software engineers back in
the ranch basically they're gonna figure out oh you know what I can't clean yet
because you haven't tidied up yet and eventually down the road we want to get
to a point where it not only does it cleaning but it tidies up beforehand
because the biggest barrier still to a robotic vacuum is you have to have stuff
off the floor first so somewhere down the road were you
to the point where not only can the robot clean but it can also tidy up and
I eventually we also will see that multiple robots can work in unison
together hey I'll tackle that room while you
tackle this room and we'll get the job done faster because consumers today are
spending more time in their homes and so they want the product to do the job
faster but they still want to be efficient get the entire job done so a
fleet of robots down the road could really change that thank you so much I
appreciate it so again thank you to Stephane for taking the time to chat and
huge thanks to Neto for sponsoring this video I'm really excited for what the
future holds for those smart cleaning robots and speaking of robots that next
generation they're gonna grow up with some really cool robotics for education
and augmented reality toys lots of neat upcoming stuff there and if it's not
young enough we have tech gadgets for even the babies in the crib and that
even while they're still in the womb there was lots and lots of smart
lightbulbs with RGB everywhere I've got to add that the booth designs are always
something that I like to pay attention to and I have a deep appreciation for
that set design now it's insane some of the budgets that these companies paid
for all these boots they're really trying to stand out from each other
I've reviewed some moto stuff in the past and they have even more cameras and
smart home control gadgets coming out one thing I really like is that all of
their wide suite of devices are controlled under one app so that's a
quick recap of my day one at CES 2019 all the fun and chaos that was there now
stay tuned for my day 2 & 3 recap that will cover drones cameras electric Ryder
bowls and more and don't forget to subscribe and ring that bell if you
haven't already and until next time let's live all event AK
