For those who haven’t heard of CES in Las Vegas, it’s basically the Super Bowl of tech where companies from around the world flex their wildest gadgets and innovations—from next-gen TVs to robots that can fold your laundry. This year, Chinese companies absolutely dominated the weird-but-somehow-cool category, bringing gadgets that made us question reality itself. Check out RADII’s list of the most weird-worthy ones from the recent CES 2026 below.
MOVA’s Flying Robot Vacuum: Ground-Based Cleaning is So 2025
Let’s start with the absolute wildcard of CES 2026: a vacuum cleaner that flies. Yes, you read that right. Suzhou’s MOVA walked into the show and said, “What if we made a vacuum cleaner defy gravity?” and honestly, we’re not mad about it. This MOVA Pilot 70 consists of a drone-powered platform that carries a robot vacuum from one floor to another, saving the machine from having to climb stairs. The only downside? You’ll probably need to explain to your pets that the flying robot isn’t an alien invasion.
Roborock’s Stair-Climbing Robot Vacuum: Stairs Need Love, Too
So, while it’s still unclear whether the MOVA Pilot 70 concept will enter production, the next best thing would be the Saros Rover from Beijing-based Roborock. And if all goes well, it may become the world’s first stair-climbing robot vacuum thanks to its two-wheeled legs. As you’d expect, this machine can also clean each step while traversing stairs, thanks to its agility paired with 3D spatial awareness. If you really want to show off, you can even make the robot hop on its two legs.
Agibot X2: The Robot That’s More Cultured Than You
Shanghai’s Agibot brought the X2 robot to CES, and this humanoid can straight up dance and do tai chi. We’re not talking about awkward robot movements that look like someone’s controlling it with a broken PlayStation controller. This robot moves with actual grace and fluidity, performing traditional tai chi routines that would impress elderly folks at the parks.
The X2 represents a huge leap in humanoid robotics, with advanced motion control that allows for surprisingly natural and expressive movements. Imagine having a robot that could be your workout buddy, dance partner, or just perform sick moves at parties. The machine is also able to map out its environment for autonomous operation, making it suitable for guiding guests around hotels, galleries or malls.
Glyde Smart Hair Clipper: AI Knows How To Give a Serious Fade
Shenzhen’s Kcool Innovation decided that haircuts needed an AI upgrade with their Glyde smart hair clipper. Just put on that weird face band, pick your desired haircut in the app, and whoever is holding the clipper will apparently be able to produce the right trim no matter what—even if he or she has never cut hair before. It’s like having a barber in your hand, except the barber is a sophisticated algorithm that never has to make small talk about your weekend plans.
The magic lies within the AI-powered blades, which are adjusted in real time according to the clipper’s speed, tilt, and angle. It’s also designed to be “mistake-proof” with auto-retraction when you move too fast or tilt the wrong way. Launching this summer for around USD 150, this AI hair clipper aims to help you save money on barber visits while still looking fresh. Plus, no more explaining to your barber what “just a little off the top” means—the AI gets it.
Lepro’s Ami: Your Desktop AI Soulmate (No Judgment)
Here’s where things get existentially weird. Shenzhen-based Lepro introduced Ami, a desktop AI companion that’s basically designed to be your digital soulmate. This isn’t just a smart speaker that tells you the weather. Ami is a full-on AI entity with a cylindrical holographic display that lives on your desk and wants to have deep conversations about your feelings, dreams, and whether pineapple belongs on pizza.
Ami uses dual front-facing cameras for eye tracking, plus a rear camera to visually anchor its avatar in your environment, in order to create a 3D visual effect for the avatar. What’s more, the AI can bond with you by recognizing facial expressions, gestures, and voice tones. Is it slightly dystopian that we’re creating AI friends? Maybe. Is it also kind of comforting to have a non-judgmental entity that’s always there to chat? Also maybe. Lepro is betting that Gen Z’s comfort with AI companions will make Ami a hit, and honestly, they might be onto something. Expect this to start shipping in July 2026.
Lenovo’s Legion Pro Rollable: Gaming Laptops Get Stretchy
Lenovo’s Legion brand is known for gaming, but the Legion Pro Rollable takes things to another dimension—literally. This laptop has an OLED screen that physically expands when you need more screen real estate—from 16 inches up to 23.8 inches. Press a button, and the display mechanically rolls out from the base, giving you extra horizontal space for gaming, streaming, or multitasking.
The expandable screen uses flexible OLED technology that Lenovo has been perfecting, and watching it extend and retract is honestly mesmerizing. As a bonus, there’s a promised lifespan of over 25,000 roll cycles. When you’re done, it rolls back into the laptop’s body, making it portable enough for regular travel—it weighs just under 3kg, which is fine for a machine with up to Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 GPU. The expanded mode gives you about 50% more screen space, which is perfect for having Discord open while gaming. It’s the kind of innovation that makes you wonder why all laptops aren’t like this, and then you remember that engineering is hard and flexible displays are expensive.
Sweekar: a Modern-Day Tamagotchi on AI Steroids
Takway’s Sweekar is yet another Shenzhen invention. This device reimagines the classic Tamagotchi concept with advanced AI technology, letting it grow physically out of its “shell” and develop its own personality over time, depending on your interaction with it. That’s right, the way you feed, clean, and talk to it may end up shaping an ENTP digital pet. Or it may die due to negligence, unless you manage to reach level 51, which grants it immortality.
This 89g pocket toy is also somewhat lifelike with its body warmth and subtle breathing motion, with its AI brain powered by Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT models to keep track of your interactions. Sweekars can befriend each other via an NFC tap, or they can go on their own virtual excursions and return with tales of their adventures. Launching on Kickstarter in March, Sweekar is expected to retail between $100-$150.
