Dyson just teased a toothbrush unlike anything currently on the market, combining circular bristles, a high-velocity water jet, and a built-in camera. Kris Abel explains what Dyson Canada has confirmed so far, and why the camera's exact purpose is still anyone's guess.

 

A Canadian company has also rolled out a robotic arm built specifically for bakeries, designed to take over the decorating process entirely once a design gets sent to it. Kris breaks down how it works and who it's actually built for.

 

Elsewhere, a hobbyist's experiment involving a dead king crab and a set of robotics has gone viral for reasons that are as unsettling as they sound, and a Tokyo-designed Cyber Barbie brings a very different kind of tech aesthetic into collectible toy shelves.
