A company that one day plans to mine asteroids 3D-printed an object out of asteroid dust, just to show how humans might build objects on remote planets. We also got our first look at the KATIA robot arm, a surprisingly affordable device that could help you do light manufacturing or, say, build Lego. Finally, we got a look at two smartphones that use Google's vaunted Project Tango tech that will let you 3D scan all the things. For those and the other stories, watch our Editor-in-Chief Michael Gorman's take on the day (above) or check the gallery below.
Meet KATIA, a robotic arm that wants to do it all
Some people very strongly believe that robots will eventually replace humans in the workforce. Those people probably wouldn't like KATIA, a surprisingly versatile robot arm we just met here at CES. Carbon Robotics founders Rosanna Myers and Dan Corkum managed to build an industrial-grade robotic arm that, ahem, won't cost you an arm or a leg. Seriously, they're aiming to sell KATIA for a relatively paltry $1,999 starting this March.
