Don't be alarmed if a stool with a lamp on it strolls up to you at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES). That's just my pal Mi-Mo.

A model of the AI-powered robot made its debut at the trade show's Unveiled media event on Sunday night, hitting the floor on six wood-capped metal legs and greeting bystanders with gentle waves. It's made by the Japanese robotics company Jizai, which bills it as the first-ever "customizable General-Purpose AI robot." I'd describe it as the love child of a mid-century modern table and one of Sid from Toy Story's mutant toys. (Affectionately!)

Jizai CEO and creator Yuki Ishikawa told Mashable that Mi-Mo is made up of multiple AI models that give it the ability to think, act, and adapt on its own using visual, audio, and movement cues. Software engineers will be able to modify these models and develop apps for it to expand its capabilities, he added.

On the aesthetic front, Ishikawa explained that Mi-Mo is supposed to look like a piece of furniture — its wood is real, no IKEA particle board here — while moving "like a living creature." Hardware add-ons and attachments like sensors are in the works, according to a media handout.

Mi-Mo did little more than work the crowd at Unveiled, shimmying around and nodding its lit-up lampy "head," but Ishikawa hypothesized one futuristic situation where it could fetch a cup for its owner.

The preorder waitlist for Mi-Mo is now live, but you have to sign up in person at CES. (More information will be online soon.) Ishikawa said a tabletop version of Mi-Mo will retail for about $3,500, while the full-sized model will go for around $30,000. A small price to pay for your very own dystopian Pixar lamp servant, perhaps.

Emilia Pérez star Karla Sofía Gascón made a brief but powerful speech at the 82nd Golden Globes on Sunday, giving a message of freedom for identity and resilience through discrimination and abuse.

The Spanish-born actor made Golden Globes history as the first transgender woman nominated for Best Female Actor (Motion Picture – Musical/Comedy) for her performance in the titular role. (Michaela Jaé Rodriguez became the first trans actor to win a Golden Globe in 2002, taking Best Actress — Television Series Drama for Pose.)

Although Gascón didn't win her category — Demi Moore took home the gold for The Substance — she was handed the microphone by director Jacques Adiard when Emilia Pérez won Best Picture (Musical/Comedy).

Gascón drew attention to the colour of her dress, a bright orange Saint Laurent gown designed by Anthony Vaccarello.

"I chose this colour tonight, the Buddhist colour, because I have a message for you: the light always wins over darkness," Gascón said.

"You can put us in jail, you can beat us up, but you never can take away our soul, our existence, our identity. I want to say to you, raise your voice, freedom, and say 'I am who I am, not who you want.'"

Emilia Pérez led in the film categories with 10 nominations, winning both Best Picture (Musical/Comedy) and Best Picture (Non-English Language). Zoe Saldaña won the award for Best Supporting Female Actor (Motion Picture), a category in which her co-star Selena Gomez was also nominated. The film also won Best Original Song (Motion Picture) for "El Mal."

Your credit card is exhausted from all of today’s subscription fees. While you probably don’t want to cancel all of your streaming apps, you could spare yourself from at least one unnecessary charge — your Microsoft 365 subscription. Swap your monthly or annual payment for a Microsoft Office lifetime license for your device.

Instead of spending $7 monthly (or $70 yearly), you can pay once and use the apps as much as you’d like. Because your new device license never expires, it will last as long as your device does. To take advantage of this lower price, get this must-have Windows software suite while it's on sale for just £20.10.

What apps are included?

Microsoft Office 2019 isn’t the newest version available, but it’s the cheaper one for people who don't need fancy AI features. Besides, these apps all have a classic, timeless design.

Here's a list of the apps you get:

• Word

• Excel

• PowerPoint

• Outlook

• OneNote

• Publisher

• Access

Differences between Microsoft 365 and a lifetime license

This purchase is a no-brainer if you aren’t taking full advantage of Microsoft 365’s OneDrive storage, mobile app access, and cloud-based backups. Those just wanting the software tools should be more than comfortable with a Microsoft Office download.

You might actually like this license more than the subscription. The apps are downloaded directly onto your PC instead of hosted on the cloud. While this does mean there are no built-in cloud backups, you don’t have to worry about the hassle of trying to work offline.

Plus, now that Microsoft added Copilot’s AI features to Microsoft 365, you might be looking for a way to escape them. Not everyone is crazy about having a virtual robot interfere with their work, and these classic apps won’t ever bug you about it.

CES 2025 is already buzzing, and one of the standout reveals at this year’s Unveiled event is OpenDroids’ R2D3 — a multi-tasking domestic robot that promises to revolutionize the way we tackle household chores.

SEE ALSO: CES 2025: Roborock's grabby new robot vacuum is a huge flex

OpenDroids, a San Francisco-based robotics startup founded just last year, is stepping into the spotlight with its second-generation home assistant. Co-founder Jack Jay described the R2D3 to an eager crowd as a "Roomba on crack," emphasizing its enhanced capabilities over the company's debut model, the R1D1. The R2D3 is equipped to handle everything from folding laundry to washing dishes, setting the stage for a future where cleaning your home feels like a thing of the past.

Both the R2D3 and its predecessor are built around the idea of making everyday life a little easier, leveraging self-charging capabilities, real-time depth perception, and surprisingly nimble movement for a chore bot. At the moment, the R2D3 is being piloted in rehab centers, assisting workers with repetitive tasks. OpenDroids is also eyeing restaurant kitchens as a potential market, where the bot could automate labor-intensive back-of-house duties.

However, buying one will be pricey. OpenDroids estimates the R2D3 will retail for around $60,000. If that’s too steep, the earlier R1D1 model comes in at a (relatively) more affordable $18,500.

Neither bot is currently available for purchase, but interested buyers can join a waitlist on the company’s website.

The 82nd Golden Globes has rolled out the red carpet this Sunday night, with this year's nominees in TV and film gathering at the awards' annual spot, the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

Hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, the event is being broadcast live on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. But who will take home the gold?

Jacques Audiard's Cannes-winning musical Emilia Pérez led the pack in nominations with 10, followed by Brady Corbet's post-WWII immigrant epic The Brutalist with seven, and Edward Berger's Vatican thriller Conclave with six. Meanwhile, The Bear topped the TV nominations with five; awards favourite Shōgun got four, as did Hulu's crime comedy Only Murders In the Building.

Other favourites for the night included Sean Baker's exquisite Mikey Madison-led film Anora, Jon M. Chu's gravity-defying Wicked, Coralie Fargeat's bold body horror The Substance, and Richard Gadd's personal Netflix series Baby Reindeer.

Demi Moore delivered an emotional acceptance speech at the Golden Globes on Sunday, expressing gratitude at finally feeling acknowledged by the industry after years of work.

The iconic actor took to the stage to accept the award for Best Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical/Comedy for her leading role in body horror film The Substance. It was a highly competitive category as well, with Moore beating out Amy Adams (Nightbitch), Cynthia Erivo (Wicked), Karla Sofía Gascón (Emilia Pérez), Mikey Madison (Anora), and Zendaya (Challengers).

"I'm just in shock right now," said Moore. "I've been doing this a long time, like over 45 years, and this is the first time I've ever won anything as an actor."

Moore's claim isn't strictly true, though her list of accolades is admittedly sparse. The actor's performance in Ghost won her the Saturn Award for Best Actress in 1991, and the Indiana Film Journalists Association awarded her Best Lead Performance for The Substance late last year. She was also part of Margin Call's ensemble win at the 2012 Independent Spirit Awards.

Even so, tonight's Golden Globe marks Moore's first major solo win throughout her entire acting career.

"Thirty years ago I had a producer tell me that I was a 'popcorn actress' and at that time I made that mean that this wasn't something that I was allowed to have," said a teary Moore. "That I could do movies that were successful, that made a lot of money, but that I couldn't be acknowledged. And I bought in and I believed that. 

"And that corroded me over time to the point where I thought a few years ago that maybe this was it. Maybe I was complete. Maybe I'd done what I was supposed to do."

Moore shared that she had been at a "low point" when she was presented with The Substance's script, "and the universe told me that 'you're not done.'"

"In those moments when we don't think we're smart enough, or pretty enough, or skinny enough, or successful enough, or basically just not enough," said Moore. "I had a woman say to me, 'Just know, you will never be enough. But you can know the value of your worth if you just put down the measuring stick.'"

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

The Substance stars Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley shared the stage at the 82nd Golden Globes on Sunday, a fate their onscreen characters could never.

Presenting the award for Best Television Male Actor – Drama Series (which Shōgun star Hiroyuki Sanada's took home), the pair descended into the competitive tension of their characters, Elizabeth Sparkle and Sue, from Coralie Fargeat's body horror smash.

"What are you doing here?" Moore asked Qualley behind the mic.

"What do you mean, what I am doing here, Demi?" Qualley replied.

"This is my week," Moore declared. "You have to respect the balance, remember?"

Tweet may have been deleted

Both Moore and Qualley are both nominated for their performances in The Substance, with Moore winning the Golden Globe for Best Female Actor – Motion Picture – Musical/Comedy. They're two of five Golden Globes nominations for the film, including Best Screenplay — Motion Picture, Best Director – Motion Picture, and Best Picture – Musical/Comedy.

In Fargeat's intense, bold, and shocking film, Moore plays an '80s star aerobic workout show host who uses a well marketed and packaged biological chemical to find a "better version" of herself. The titular substance results in the emergence of Sue (Qualley), and the deal is that they each spend a week on, a week off, existing as if the other does not. But Sue has... plans.

It's a fun moment for the two nominees presenting together, in what's been quite a reserved ceremony this year. You can check out all the Golden Globes winners in Mashable's running list.

Roborock's new robot vacuum-mop hybrid will grab your attention — and your stray socks.

The Chinese maker of high-end cleaning tech debuted the Roborock Saros Z70 Sunday at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas after about seven years in the making. The forthcoming hybrid robovac features a jointed, twisting "OmniGrip" appendage that can pick up and move certain small objects out of the way. Roborock calls it the "first-of-its-kind mass-produced foldable robotic arm."

SEE ALSO: CES 2025: Exhibitors, dates, ticket prices, and everything else you must know

The launch marks a shift from conventional object avoidance technology to object removal technology, with the goal of making a robot vacuum that's more autonomous than ever for care-free, do-everything-for-me cleaning.

In a demo, the Mashable team got to see the Saros Z70 depart its dock to fetch a balled-up sock and place it in a short basket before redocking itself. It's pretty cool — but if you can afford it, ask yourself this: Why don't you just hire a maid?

Roborock Saros Z70 design: The clawww Credit: Haley Henschel / Mashable

Weighing in around 11 pounds, the Saros Z70 is a matte black disc-shaped device with a slim profile. It lacks a LiDAR tower — a protruding circular bump filled with sensors, common among modern robot vacuums — and instead navigates with the help of built-in "Starsight" sensors and cameras around its circumference. (This allows it to get under more spaces and clean beneath furniture.) These cameras turn off when it's docked, per a Roborock rep, but users have the option to turn it on for surveillance purposes. The rep said its footage encrypted and stored on the Saros Z70 itself rather than through a connected service, so your data never exits the device.

The Saros Z70's robotic arm is housed under a shiny door on its surface that automatically lifts and slides backwards to unleash the appendage. The arm has five axis that can twist, as well as a pinchy, two-pronged claw at the end of it. There's a child lock and a safety stop button near the arm's base in case of emergency.

On the underside of the Saros Z70, you'll find a new anti-tangle FreeFlow brush, a set of wheels that can elevate to overcome raised lips between rooms or the edges of carpets, and mopping pads. These pads are both retractable and removable — users can have the Saros Z70 ditch them in its dock if it's only going to be cleaning hardwood floors, which is a new feature for the Roborock lineup.

How the Roborock Saros Z70 works Credit: Haley Henschel / Mashable

Roborock says the entire Saros Z70 cleaning cycle happens in three parts. First, it does a sweep of a room while marking any nearby objects it's able to lift, then returns to its dock. Next, it heads out again to move the objects it has identified out of the way. It then wraps up the cycle by returning to clean the spots where the objects previously sat.

Users have to enable its OmniGrip arm in the Roborock companion app — it won't be activated right out of the box — but from there, they can pick which objects the Saros Z70 grabs and exactly where it puts them. (Our demo did not include a run-through of these settings.) At present, the Saros Z70 is capable of listing four different kinds of objects weighing up to 300 grams: socks, paper, small towels, and sandals. Support for other types of clothing and shoes as well as pet toys are in the works.

The Saros Z70 boasts a whopping 22,000 Pa of suction power, which the company's rep called an industry record. For reference, Mashable's current favorite robot vacuum — another Robobock model, the $1,599.99 Qrevo Master — clocks in at 10,000 Pa of power. This thing sucks... apparently. We didn't get a chance to see it actually vacuum anything up.

The potential is there — but the price is silly Credit: Haley Henschel / Mashable

In our demo, the Saros Z70 was programmed to move out of its dock in a straight line, grab a sock, and place the sock in a short basket before returning to its dock. It was able to successfully put the sock in the basket — so long as the sock had been placed in a very specific spot, otherwise its arm would miss. Notably, it also struggled to properly redock itself every single cycle, getting close to its parking spot but never right on the mark. It would say something in Mandarin that roughly translated to "action failed" every time it tried to return home, and I kind of felt bad for it.

According to the Roborock rep, this programing was chosen because of the constraints of our setting: Our demo took place in a small hotel suite, and others were apparently being conducted in convention center booths throughout the week. It couldn't be wandering off.

Credit: Haley Henschel / Mashable

I think these circumstances sold the Saros Z70 short, because it really does seem like a neat device if it reaches its full potential from the standpoints of pick-up-ability and sheer power. That said, I'm not quite sure who's going to be buying it: Roborock's rep couldn't tell us an exact price, but suggested that it would sell for around $2,000. (High-end robot vacuums that are on the market right now cap out around $1,600, such as the Qrevo Master.) If you're someone who can afford such a luxury, I don't see why you wouldn't just hire someone to pick up your socks and vacuum for you. To own one seems like more of a flex than anything.

The Roborock Saros Z70 is currently in mass production and slated for an April release. We'll have a full review of it once it hits the market.
