The Consumer Electronics Show CES 2020 had plenty of cool tech to show off. Here are some highlights.
Move a prosthetic hand with your mind: BrainCo’s prosthetic artificial intelligence-powered hand allows an amputee to make gestures and grips.

When available, the hand will cost $10,000 to $15,000, much cheaper than conventional devices.

NEON is a computer-generated human (no physical form) “with the ability to show emotions and intelligence,” according to the company, which is backed by Samsung. Think of it as a chatbot with human emotions and a humanlike ability to learn.
