At its annual developers conference, Intel emphasized its focus on the Internet of Things — and dancing robotic spiders.

Intel is building out an ecosystem of wirelessly connected devices intended to enhance all facets of life, one that includes robots that deliver drinks to hotel guests, smartwatches, gesture-controlled vending machines, and mirrors that display outfits in different colors.
At its developers conference in San Francisco on Tuesday, Intel previewed a slew of consumer products that exemplify its approach to the so-called Internet of Things. The company doesn't necessarily want to build those things itself, but it does want to make the chips that power them.
"We have a vision for how technology will evolve, but it is not complete without you," CEO Brian Krzanich told the audience of developers. "Because you are the ones who actually bring all this technology to life. You build the products, you bring them to the customers. ... Computing is everywhere in our lives today. It's in our bags, our clothes, our homes, our cars."

It's also in our bikes. Onstage Tuesday, Intel announced plans to bring its new low-power Curie to select developers this year and showed off a number of prototype products using it. Among them were a BMX bike whose handlebars record turns and spins and a security bracelet that locks your computer when you walk away from it.
Those gadgets are likely the first of many more to come, given Intel's recent acquisitions and partnerships in the wearables space. In June, Intel bought Recon, a Canadian company that makes high-tech eyewear for serious athletes. Last year, it acquired Basis Science, a startup that develops wrist-worn activity trackers; it also entered a multiyear collaboration with Luxottica Group, the world's biggest eyewear company, with brands like Ray-Ban and Oakley.
