Mobility growth continues,

Mobility has gone beyond a product and has now become a technology itself. Booths showcasing mobility technology, including completed car manufacturers, are regular customers that attract the largest number of visitors at CES every year. This time, mobility showed the possibility of infinite technological development and expansion.

It is an autonomous driving tractor. John Deere's autonomous tractor was also introduced in 'Agritech', which was covered in the 19th issue of this webzine. In this CES 2023, this John Deere’s autonomous tractor won the CES Best Innovation Award.

 Hyundai Mobis of Korea introduced new concept mobility ‘M.Vision HI’ and ‘M.Vision TO’. M.Vision HI is a mobility device developed for the purpose of leisure and relaxation, and uses the vehicle glass as a large display to watch movies or shop online. M.Vision TO is an electrification-based autonomous driving car that incorporates the latest technologies of Hyundai Mobis, such as the E-Corner module, radar, lidar sensor, and communication lighting.

The pinnacle of ‘human tech’, digital healthcare

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, interest in our health has increased more than before, and the digital transformation of the healthcare industry is accelerating. This trend was also seen at CES 2023. I think digital healthcare technology is the pinnacle of ‘human tech’, a technology for people. What innovations did global bio companies have prepared for?

Biointelligence, a US company, unveiled the bio button, a wearable device that can collect and analyze various biosignals in real time by attaching it to the body.

Venture companies and startups also stood out. This is ‘Dot Pad’, a Korean social venture company that manufactures assistive devices for people with disabilities. The dot pad is a braille smart pad for the visually impaired. It displays visual graphics such as figures, symbols, tables, and charts from PCs, mobile devices, electronic boards, etc. as tactile graphics with 2,400 pins raised. By touching pictures and images with the tactile sense and recognizing the contents, it is said that accessibility can be increased in various everyday situations such as education and music.

Apparatus and method for output information

Korea’s Graphene Square presented the ‘Graphene Radiator’ made with ‘the world’s thinnest and strongest material’, graphene, and won the Best Innovation Award in the home appliance category. Graphene is very thin at the level of 0.2 nanometers, but it is considered a ‘new dream material’ because of its thermal conductivity 100 times higher than that of copper and its elasticity. This product can save energy by up to 30% compared to conventional coil-type heaters and is eco-friendly because it generates less electromagnetic waves, and it is said that various images and information can be expressed on a transparent window that can display a hologram display.
