All Things TechIE Podcast - Episode 136 (CES 2026)

·1 hr·3 clips

An AI fragrance device builds more than 100 scent combinations from a photo.

Justin Dawson opens from the Las Vegas Strip. He frames episode 136 as a CES 2026 field report, with the city in the background and the show still very much in motion. The Venetian Expo comes first. He talks through the walk, the scale, and the slightly chaotic feeling of trying to get oriented in a venue that feels bigger than home convention centers, with escalators, corridors, and traffic everywhere. Eureka Park follows. That section keeps the pace brisk and leans into the sense of being packed in among people who are all trying to show what they have built, which is pretty much the point of the week. He never pretends anyone can see everything. Instead, he keeps circling back to the fact that CES is too large to take in fully, even if you are there all day moving from stand to stand. Robotic vacuums get a proper look. He jokes about the practical side of owning one at home, then points to newer Roborock models and stair-climbing ideas that show how fast the category has moved. The episode then pivots into age tech. That section ties together healthcare, smart homes, and the idea of helping aging people stay in their own homes longer, instead of being pushed toward hospitals or hospice settings too early. Moxi becomes the main example. Justin hears how the robot is already in use across about 30 hospitals, where it can navigate itself and deliver medication and other staff errands. The discussion stays grounded. It is less about futuristic hype and more about what these machines can actually do for workload, access, and day-to-day care. He also notes the wider mix of oddities and experiments on the show floor, which gives the episode its busy, slightly rambling texture. Near the end, he turns back to the podcast itself. He closes with the usual asks to like, comment, share, and subscribe, points listeners to the website, and teases more CES follow-up coverage.
