Robotics Highlights of CES 2024

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) took place in Las Vegas from January 9 to 12, 2024. This year, over 4,000 exhibitors and more than 130,000 visitors attended the world's largest electronics trade fair.
As the name suggests, CES is all about consumer electronics, i.e. electronics for the home, entertainment and more. From televisions, gaming and graphics cards to cars, everything is there, and of course, robots can’t be missing!
Today, we will share with you to the most interesting robotics innovations presented at CES.

    In the program you want to slow down add this to the beginning, where X is the percentage of your main override that you want to run at; i.e. a scale factor. I would probably start with 25.

    $MCR_GRP[1].$PRGOVERRIDE=X
