Las Vegas, NV – January 2025 – The Hellbender team hit the ground running at CES 2025, walking an average of five miles a day, standing for countless hours, and immersing ourselves in the world’s biggest stage for technology and innovation. As our second year attending, CES once again proved to be an incredibly impactful event, filled with high-level networking, cutting-edge advancements, and industry-shaping conversations.
AI Takes Center Stage: A Perfect Time for Physical AI
This year, AI dominated CES 2025, reinforcing what we at Hellbender have long believed—this is the time to be in the physical AI space. From robotics to sensor integration, AI-powered hardware continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible, and CES highlighted just how far the industry is evolving. The show floor was packed with innovations in LIDAR, radar, and imaging technology, showcasing the future of AI-driven perception systems.
As a leader in AI vision, edge computing, and hardware development, Hellbender took full advantage of the opportunity to connect with key players in the space. Many of our suppliers, partners, and customers were in attendance, and we also forged relationships with new suppliers and potential clients that will help shape our projects in the year ahead.
CES 2025 Highlights: From Groundbreaking Sensors to Transparent OLEDs
Beyond the AI boom, CES 2025 featured an incredible range of new technology. While some of it was directly relevant to our work—like advances in sensor technology, embedded AI processing, and high-performance compute platforms—other innovations were just plain cool. LG’s transparent OLED TVs, for example, were a reminder that CES is as much about the future of technology as it is about solving real-world engineering challenges.
Jensen Huang’s Keynote: A Must-Watch for AI & Edge Computing
One of the most exciting moments of CES was NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote address, packed with game-changing announcements for AI, vision systems, and edge computing. The products and technologies unveiled will have a direct impact on Hellbender’s roadmap, further strengthening the AI and compute solutions we integrate into our designs. If you haven’t watched the keynote yet, it’s well worth it—it’s a glimpse into the future of AI-driven hardware.
Looking Ahead: CES 2026 and Beyond
With another successful year at CES behind us, we’re already looking forward to 2026. The relationships we’ve built, the technologies we’ve explored, and the insights we’ve gained will help shape our next generation of AI-powered solutions.
“CES is more than just a trade show—it’s where industries collide, where partnerships are forged, and where the future of AI hardware is being defined,” said Brian Beyer, CEO of Hellbender. “After five days on the floor, our feet may still hurt, but the impact of this event makes every step worth it. We can’t wait to be back next year!”
