Nvidia Cosmos is an AI platform designed to transform robotics and self-driving cars. It uses AI and simulations from Nvidia’s Omniverse to train robots with realistic imagery, including 20 million hours of training video, helping to fill the data gap that limits the progress of today’s robots and autonomous vehicles.
**Ultraloq Bolt Mission**
Best of CES for Privacy and Security
The Ultraloq Bolt Mission is a smart lock — the first to support ultra-wideband (UWB) for hands-free unlocking. With both UWB and NFC unlocking capabilities, it provides convenience as well as privacy and security to homeowners.

The Ozlo Sleepbuds, developed by three former Bose engineers, are earning praise for their comfort and effectiveness. They mask environmental noises and help users fall asleep quickly, even in the noisiest environments.
