At CES 2026, Frontier X unleashed Vex, a pint-sized white sphere with stubby limbs and ears, basically a robot version of a furball stalker that fits in your palm. Designed to follow your cat or dog around the house, Vex films their every move and then uses AI to edit together a cinematic pet reality show you never asked for. It comes in a range of colors, presumably to match your pet's indifferent attitude. Say goodbye to dumb pet cams – this little creep plays with your animal and captures every epic nap or judgmental stare with terrifying autonomy.
