[00:00.00]At this year's CES show in Las Vegas, Nevada, crowds from around the world came to see the latest products built with artificial intelligence (AI).
[00:15.76]CES is produced by the Virginia-based Consumer Technology Association.
[00:24.07]It presents the latest electronic product offerings or features, targeting consumers. 
[00:32.99]More than 138,000 people attended the event which ended last weekend.
[00:40.80]More than 4,000 companies presented products at CES 2025. 
[00:48.79]Here is a look at some of the top products shown at this year's 2025 show:
[00:57.40]CES is historically an event at which large electronics manufacturers introduce their latest and greatest televisions. This year was no different.
[01:12.75]South Korean TV makers LG and Samsung both announced new smart models with built-in AI tools.
[01:24.19]Others - including Japan's Panasonic and China's Hisense and TCL - also released TV models with new AI tools.
[01:36.55]Korean manufacturer LG said its latest models are equipped with AI technologies designed to autonomously improve picture brightness, sharpness and sound quality. 
[01:53.75]The AI improvements are powered by the company's own a11 processer technology.
[02:03.06]LG also announced new updates for its Magic Remote device controller, saying new AI tools were added to provide more detailed search and interactive possibilities with users.
[02:20.01]Samsung introduced a system called Samsung Vision AI for its line of OLED and QLED TV models. 
[02:31.75]The company said the AI tools are meant to turn the TVs into more "intelligent" assistive devices and to help "simplify and enrich everyday living" for its users.
[02:50.07]One example is a feature that permits users to click on different screen elements to receive immediate information about what they see.
[03:03.67]The company said another tool makes it possible to activate live language translations on-screen.
[03:13.41]Several companies at CES introduced robotic transport vehicles designed to travel over many kinds of surfaces or terrain.
[03:25.79]One model was built by Kubota, a Japanese maker of farm and building equipment.
[03:34.00]The company demonstrated how the KATR four-wheeled robot uses hydraulics to control the vehicle's four legs independently. 
[03:46.88]This design seeks to keep the robot secure and level even when working on hills or in rocky areas.
[03:57.36]Kubota says the vehicle - which is able to carry loads up to 240 kilograms - is small enough to be transported in most pickup trucks.
[04:10.87]Chinese developer Unitree Robotics showed off a dog-like robot model called Go2.
[04:20.67]The robot was designed with a series of cameras, sensors and AI tools. 
[04:27.50]The company says this permits Go2 to make smooth movements and automatically follow its owner. 
[04:36.26]It is able to carry small loads on its back and can also be used in security operations involving businesses or individuals.
[04:48.71]Demonstrations at CES showed Go2 doing tricks, like standing on two legs, dancing and giving high fives to visitors. 
[05:01.05]The company produces several other dog-like models, as well as humanoid robots.
[05:09.55]The latest flying car designs are also a yearly favorite at CES. 
[05:16.67]But this year, Chinese automaker XPENG took its presentation a step further by introducing a combination truck and flying vehicle.
[05:30.14]The company calls the system a Land Aircraft Carrier. 
[05:35.01]It includes a large transport van with enough space to transport a vertical landing flying vehicle inside.
[05:45.43]The idea is for users to be able launch the flying vehicle from anywhere the van can go.
[05:53.88]The flying car is fully autonomous and can carry two people at a time.
[06:01.20]Chinese media reported the company - which also offers several traditional vehicles on its website - plans to sell the combination for about $300,000.
[06:15.98]XPENG said it will aim to increase production for all its vehicles in the coming year.
[06:24.34]California-based Aptera Motors demonstrated a new electronic vehicle model with a built-in charging system.
[06:34.41]The company explains on its website that the vehicle has solar panels on its surface to capture energy from the sun.
[06:46.28]When charged this way, Aptera claims the car can travel up to 64 kilometers in a single day without being plugged in to a power source. 
[06:59.72]On a full charge, the company says the vehicle can travel up to 640 kilometers.
[07:08.15]Japanese drink producer Kirin Holdings introduced a new product that aims to strengthen, or enhance, the taste of salt in food products without increasing the amount of salt.
[07:24.80]The spoon-shaped device uses electricity to increase saltiness.
[07:30.97]The company says the tool - which can be taken anywhere - sends a weak electric current through the top of the device to food.
[07:41.28]French electric sports equipment maker SQ-Motors presented an all-terrain electric board that can move on roads and snow. 
[07:53.87]The company calls its invention the Sternboard. 
[07:58.66]It is a three-wheeled board with an electric motor in the back.
[08:03.99]First designed to be an electric skateboard, a version was developed to move on snow. 
[08:10.93]The powered boards have reached speeds of more than 60 kilometers per hour in tests.
[08:18.57]But the snow versions are not designed for speed. 
[08:23.14]They seek to provide users with the ability to go up hills or move long distances over level land.
