CES 2020 has arrived, and with it comes the most futuristic, niche, or downright absurd technology from around the world.

The consumer electronics bonanza kicked off this week, and we've already seen some exciting devices, like LG's super-cool rollable TV or TCL's gorgeous new smartphones. But there have also been plenty of out-there products that are both head-scratching and hilarious - toilet paper delivery robot, anyone? - along with wild moments, like stormtroopers showing up at a news conference.

Here are some of the coolest and wackiest photos from CES 2020 so far.
