Hot Technology Products at CES 2020
Each year，the Consumer Electronics Show，or CES，presents new technological developments across many industries.It is a chance for companies to launch their latest products aimed at making life easier，more productive，and fun.Here is a list of some of the most interesting products introduced at CES 2020.
Smart Waste Can
A company called TOWNEW presented a waste can designed for the home that does a lot of the dirty work for you.When the can is full，the user can touch a button to activate the machine's smart capabilities.The device then completely seals（密封）the waste bag inside and puts a new one in place，all by itself.The can then raises its top so the user can pick up the bag and throw it away.
Snore（打）Stopping Pillow
People who snore when they sleep might be helped by the "Motion Pillow".This smart pillow is designed to collect information about the sleeper's head position and breathing during the night.The system then uses this data to change the shape of the pillow with the help of built-in airbags.The idea is that by changing the pillow，the sleeper's head will move just enough to improve airflow through the nose and reduce snoring.
Phone Charger and Car Battery Saver
Mophie announced a new charging device that can wirelessly charge smartphones，and also be used to start a car with a dead battery.The Powerstation Go comes with two USB ports for device charging，as well as car battery connectors and a powerful light.
Toilet Paper Robot
And finally，personal products company Procter Gamble presented a robot that can serve people as they use the toilet.The RollBot was described by the company's Charmin division as a "first-of-its-kind"invention.The small，self-balancing robot can be controlled by a smartphone to bring bathroom users a fresh roll of paper without ever having to leave the toilet seat.
