Honda will unveil its new 3E (Empower, Experience, Empathy) Robotics Concept at CES 2018 in January, demonstrating a range of experimental technologies engineered to advance mobility and make people's lives better. Expressing a variety of functions and designs, the advanced robotic concepts demonstrate Honda's vision of a society where robotics and AI can assist people in many situations, such as disaster recovery, recreation and learning from human interaction to become more helpful and empathetic.

As part of the 3E Robotics Concept, Honda will reveal:

3E-A18, a companion robotics concept that shows compassion to humans with a variety of facial expressions;
3E-B18, a chair-type mobility concept designed for casual use in indoor or outdoor spaces;
3E-C18, a small-sized electric mobility concept with multi-functional cargo space;
3E-D18, an autonomous off-road vehicle concept with AI designed to support people in a broad range of work activities.
In addition to the suite of robotics concepts, Honda will showcase its Mobile Power Pack World, which includes a portable, swappable battery pack for electric vehicles, and a re-charging system for use at home, recreation or during a natural disaster. The Mobile Power Pack World at CES will also exhibit a battery exchanger concept that can store and charge mobile power packs.
