The Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute (MIC), a division of the Institute for Information Industry (III), recently hosted the seminar "“Key Observations from CES 2025: Smart Terminals x Smart Healthcare x Emerging AI Applications” on January 17. The event showcased exclusive industry insights gathered by MIC’s research team from the CES 2025 exhibition. Building on the AI-driven momentum from CES 2024, which emphasized the shift from cloud-based AI to AI-enabled devices, CES 2025 has focused on the expanding and deepening integration of AI into consumer electronics.
MIC has identified four key trends shaping the future of AI-powered innovations:
- Enhanced Interaction in Humanoid Robots: Development Platforms Drive Next-Level Engagement
Senior Industry Analyst Angela Huang highlighted humanoid robots as a standout at CES 2025, featuring advanced capabilities such as visual perception, tactile feedback, torque-controlled joint movements, and intelligent interaction. With the launch of new development platforms, human-robot interaction is expected to advance significantly, paving the way for more intuitive and responsive AI-driven robotics.
- AI PCs: Market Segmentation Sharpens Between High-End and Mainstream Models
Huang also noted that chipmakers are optimizing AI PC processors and GPUs to cater to distinct market segments. The high-end category is focusing on workstation-grade performance, while mainstream AI PCs are emphasizing affordability to drive broader adoption. This divergence highlights a more tailored approach to AI-powered computing across different user needs.
- AI Agents Transform Work and Daily Life: The Rise of Software-Hardware-Integrated Edge AI Agents
MIC Industry Consultant Ray Han observed a surge in companies leveraging large language models (LLMs) with multimodal capabilities to develop physical AI Agents. These intelligent systems are becoming the backbone of a personalized, interactive, and proactive AIoT ecosystem, poised to revolutionize smart homes, healthcare, productivity tools, and companion robotics through seamless digital-physical integration.
- AI in Digital Health Continues to Advance: User-friendly, Seamlessly Integrated Solutions
Senior Industry Analyst Jessica Hsu reported significant strides in AI-driven healthcare technology. Smartwatch manufacturers are expanding their offerings to include urinalysis, ECG scanning, handheld diagnostic devices, and AI-powered smart mirrors. A major medical company introduced its first non-prescription blood glucose monitor, while another unveiled smart clothing capable of tracking physiological data without additional wearables. These innovations mark a shift toward more accessible and seamlessly integrated digital health solutions.
As CES 2025 underscores, AI continues to permeate consumer electronics, redefining human-technology interaction across various domains. MIC’s insights from the exhibition provide valuable foresight into the evolving landscape of AI-powered innovations and their impact on industries worldwide.
