CES 2026 Weird Tech: Toilet AI to Rollable PCs
• Robot vacuums that climb stairs and laptops that expand into 23.8" monitors. • A toilet-mounted computer analyzing bowel data and menstrual pads with microfluidics. • Companion robots with removable memory, electric color-changing nails and overclocked pleasure tech.
Standout oddities at CES 2026
Dreame Cyber X robot vacuum
Dreame’s Cyber X trades rolling brushes for chunky treaded “legs” that let it haul itself up and down full staircases. The vacuum docks inside the climbing rig, prioritizing multi-floor mobility over scrubbing stairs by hand.
OlloBot companion robot
OlloBot looks part cyber pet, part penguin, with a telescoping furry neck and a tablet-style face for expressions. Its personality evolves with household interactions and its memories live on a removable, heart-shaped module for easy transfer.
ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo
ASUS doubled down on dual-display laptops, packing two 16-inch OLED panels into a single ROG Zephyrus Duo notebook. The detachable keyboard and kickstand let users stack or spread screens for gaming or creator workflows at high brightness.
Throne toilet-mounted computer
Throne mounts to the toilet and uses cameras and microphones to establish a personal baseline for bowel habits. It aims to flag changes tied to digestive and metabolic health — including shifts related to GLP-1 medications.
Vivoo FlowPad and smart bathroom sensors
Vivoo expanded bathroom monitoring with a clip-on smart toilet accessory and a FlowPad menstrual product using microfluidics. The pad scans hormone and fertility markers via phone, adding a new layer to at-home reproductive tracking.
Lenovo rollable laptop concepts
Lenovo showcased two audacious rollable ideas. The Legion Pro Rollable expands a 16-inch gaming panel up to 23.8 inches for ultra-wide play, while the ThinkBook XD Rollable wraps a flexible display over the lid to create a “world-facing” screen.
OhDoki Handy 2 Pro and personal tech
OhDoki’s Handy 2 Pro pushes into consumer power and endurance with a Turbo “overclocked” mode and up to five hours of battery life. The device even doubles as a phone charger, blending pleasure tech with practicality.
Fashion, displays and home gear
iPolish brought electric, color-changing press-on nails to CES; Hisense rolled a 32" FollowMe 4K display on wheels with a 10-hour battery; and GE’s Profile Smart Fridge combined a crisper camera and barcode scanner to simplify grocery tracking.
Beauty meets electronics
L’Oréal debuted an LED eye mask that controls red and near-infrared wavelengths in short sessions, part of a broader push to pair skincare serums with programmable light treatments.
Why it matters
CES 2026 reinforced that product innovation now spans the intimate and the theatrical. Some concepts will evolve into practical products; others will remain provocative prototypes that show how far consumer tech will go to measure and augment daily life.
