If you've ever worried about perfectly capturing your kids next big sporting event, PowerVision, an innovative purveyor of drone and AI technology, has some good news. A new product unveiled by the company at CES in Las Vegas called the Power Egg X, is a new breed of AI-powered camcorder that can be attached to a drone and follow a subject without any human intervention. PowerVision, which has made similar products - previously a larger 4.6 lbs drone-mounted camera - is being billed as multi-function device that can be used as an autonomous AI camera, that can be wielded handheld or via a high-flying drone. A demonstration from the company at CES (pictured above) showed the device's ability to track various kinds of motion including demonstrators doing yoga, swinging and playing basketball Though fixing a camera to a drone is anything but new, it's the technology PowerVision couples with its new system that separates it from the field. With the help of a proprietary algorithm, the PowerEgg X can use facial recognition, deep learning, and a tracking a 170 field of view to track subjects and ensure they're always be in the middle of the video frame, This ability, says the company, would be useful in situations where a subject is in relatively fast motion, like playing sports, dancing, or running.

Now they look to the sea. Drones capable of underwater operation are little more than novelties at the moment, but the technology could advance marine research, revolutionize undersea cinematography, and let anyone explore places even experienced divers cannot reach. A handful of companies are leading this leap into the water. PowerVision, a Chinese robotics firm with 10 offices around the world, introduced its PowerRay underwater drone earlier this year. OpenROV of Berkeley, California, staged a successful crowdfunding campaign for the Trident, its remotely operated vehicle. These machines offer only limited practicality, but point the way to a future where consumer drones do all sorts of things beneath the waves.

For years, humans have looked to the natural world for inspiration for new technology. Sensors, cameras and advanced gene sequencing are just a few ways by which tech and nature have come together, leading to a better understanding of our own biology and the world that we live in. The effect of technology on nature hasn't always been positive. Progression often comes at a high price to the environment. As much as technology has impacted the natural world (for better or for worse), nature has always been a source of inspiration for researchers and developers.

Although we saw more of what dominated the tech scene last year -- smart home products, wearables and enough Amazon Echo partnerships to make your head spin -- some new products shined brightly above the rest. From an underwater drone to the car of the future, here's a look at what impressed us most. Toyota unveiled a concept car to highlight its vision for what cars may look like in 2030. With see-through glass doors, wheels built directly into the body and a bright white interior and exterior, the future is looking pretty sleek. While you'd think we'd be riding in self-driving vehicles by then, the car isn't fully autonomous.

Thousands of tech companies descended on Las Vegas for CES 2017 this week to show off what they think you'll buy in the coming year.

If you're heading out to the coast or the lake for a spot of fishing, you can have the best gear and the perfect bait but you won't land anything if you're set up in the wrong spot. Experience can only guide so you so much, so PowerVision -- the company behind the incredible PowerEgg drone we saw last year -- has built an underwater robot called the PowerRay to help find and lure in your next catch. The PowerRay can dive down to 30 meters (98 feet) underwater, where it can use an optional "Fishfinder" sonar component to detect fish another 40 meters below it. The drone's WiFi system beams video and images captured by its integrated 4K camera and additional data on the underwater landscape and temperature up to the surface, which can then be viewed via the dedicated iOS or Android app. It also features an "internal fish luring light" that will apparently attract fish with a welcoming "hue of blue" and an optional remote-controlled bait drop that can place tasty snares in your desired location.
