It also has a bendable spine that allows the robot's front legs to roll forward and its back legs to roll backwards, letting it to crawl using segments of its legs besides its feet.

Unfortunately, the 2019 show has been pretty tame by most measures, which is why it's so refreshing that Hyundai came to Las Vegas with a truly bonkers idea: a "walking car" with real, bendable legs.

Sure, we'll eventually see radical outward-facing form factor changes such as smartphones with screens you fold and unfold, but those will only happen once we know that the necessary bendable components can be mass-produced.
|

Price is the likely culprit — a non-bendable, 105-inch high-end SUHD set cost an eye-popping $120,000, so there probably wasn't much of a market for a device that cost noticeably more than that.

It's also bendable, so you can form it to fit your shoulders in a way that suits you best, and it's sweat- and weather-proof, keeping it safe and dry during its 15-hour battery life.

The reason we're not seeing a bendable tablet yet may be almost as much to do with manufacturers taking small steps, in order to avoid overwhelming us, as it is with the readiness of the hardware itself.
|
|
In 2019 we saw the first batch of these foldables hit the market, and CES 2020 is likely to be a showcase for even more bendable goods—including laptop-sized computers that fold in half for transport.

"Before flexible/bendable displays became available for commercialization, it was difficult for manufacturers to work on consumer product design to even begin to find out what potential issues may be," said Ze Yuan, Royole's director of R&D.

Lana and Lilly Wachowski's "The Matrix," as Raftery sees it, tapped into the idea that "online, reality was becoming bendable," a concept encapsulated in a revolutionary CGI sequence in which Neo (Keanu Reeves) miraculously evades a hurtling bullet.
|

At CES, LG impressed the industry when it unveiled its new roll-up, 65-inch 4K TV, and a fair number of Samsung's early work on bendable screens has made its way into products like the Galaxy Edge line.
|

If bendable smartphones ever actually become a reality, they're further off in the future, as there are other production challenges to be solved with the iPhone's inner components and battery before the devices could be flexible enough to bend.
|
|
That's because like the Mate X, the Mi Fold sports a flexible screen that folds outwards instead of inwards, with the main point of differentiation being that Xiaomi's take requires two hinges to fully support its big, bendable screen.

Her new "This might also be a form of dreaming," set to enigmatic texts by Ms. Rankine about connection, requires many of the same techniques as in "Partita": grand, plush harmonies; droning on tangy, bendable pitches; sighing, exhaling babble.

Even if you assume Samsung has made some progress on its bendable prototypes, having worked on the concept for more than five years at this point, there's no doubt that creating a screen robust enough to be opened and closed (and prodded) as much as 150 times+ a day by touchscreen-addicted humans is a huge challenge.

The Z Flip has a few key differences: it folds open and closed like a classic clamshell phone, rather than like a book; it uses a bendable "Ultra Thin Glass" display, instead of the weak plastic on the Fold; and it has fibers built into the hinge to prevent dust from getting in and damaging the display, which is what broke early units of the Fold.
