The 7 coolest gadgets I've seen at IFA 2025 (including ones you can actually buy)

zdnet.com Maria Diaz 2025-10-13 12:48:00

Maria Diaz/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. IFA is Europe's largest consumer electronics show, and this year is no different. IFA 2025 features some of the most eye-catching innovations ever, so much so that it's hard to narrow down the list of amazing products. However, at a time when the tech world is saturated with artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, I found it refreshing that the best products I've seen don't hinge on AI.

Elon Musk's New Optimus Robot Demo Is So Painful It Will Make You Wince

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-13 00:34:37

Hot off of proudly announcing that he had replaced 4,000 people with AI at his company, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff posted a video of Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, calling it a "productivity game-changer." However, going by the 52-second clip, the carmaker has a long way to go until it can successfully have AI-powered bipedal robots replace human jobs. Is this really what will make up a whopping 80 percent of Tesla's value, as Tesla CEO Elon Musk promised in a tweet earlier this week? In an

SwitchBot had a few AI-powered devices on display at IFA 2025; not just a furry little robot pet (I picked it up and it’s not cuddly). They included an E Ink AI art display, which generates AI art on demand, an AI tennis robot that you can “play” matches against, and a couple of robot vacuums. We’ll get to all of that, but the main thing that caught my eye was the SwitchBot AI Hub. It’s not that the others aren’t interesting—of course they are—it’s that I love good, easy automation.

Tesla Makes a Huge Move to Appease Regulators

Tesla appears to be bending to the will of regulators. In a visible sign of its shifting posture from daredevil innovation to cautious compliance, Tesla this week relocated its robotaxi safety monitors, employees who supervise the autonomous software’s performance and can take over the vehicle’s operation at any moment, from the passenger seat to the driver’s seat. Tesla’s Robotaxi service represents one of the company’s most ambitious and long-delayed projects. First teased by Chief Executiv

CNET's key takeaways No robot vacuum has truly solved the challenge of multilevel cleaning without requiring you to physically move it between floors. This robo-vac can do it, for the high-end price of $1,700. You won't find another robot vacuum with its features for less than $1,000 right now. The whole point of owning a robot vacuum is so you don't have to do the cleaning yourself. But that was never the case at my house -- partly because of what I call my "Ikea chair challenge."
