A washing machine warning that a red sock has found its way into a white wash.

A fridge that anticipates when you're likely to open it.

A massage chair that incorporates a fingertip photoplethysmography sensor.

Deeptech and physical AI were everywhere at IFA 2026.

But do we actually want this functionality? And who controls the data and decisions?

Hmm, I suspect, but do not know without taking this apart, that there are three functionally identical buttons on the Oster blender here.

There's a "pulse" (momentary on/off)
Three DIFFERENT buttons (mix, chop, blend)
A low/high speed.
(and off)

The mix/chop/blend buttons just turn it on.... there's no speed difference here, and it's just a simple motor that turns a blade.

I think they ADD EXTRA BUTTON THAT DO NOTHING except turn on the motor to make you think it has extra functions, but which actually do not do anything but make it look fancy.
