Huang says advances in models, simulation, and compute have pushed robotics to a long-awaited inflection point — but turning platforms into real-world machines remains the hard part.

Nvidia unveiled a full-stack robotics ecosystem at CES 2026, including foundation models, simulation tools, and hardware. It wants to be the default platform for robotics.

Robots displayed at CES 2026 show they're not trying to be sci-fi anymore. They’re practical, folding laundry and offering companionship.

Spot, Boston Dynamics' first commercial robot, was first shown to the world in 2016 — but that didn't stop Hyundai from showing it off at CES six years later. It seems to be finding success in a few niche roles: as an inspection robot, and in some bomb disposal squads.

Robots at CES 2026 are smarter, more helpful and more fun. Here are our favorites so far.

Kawasaki and Vestas spin-off BladeRobots are testing crewless helicopters and robots to automate dangerous wind turbine blade maintenance.

Boston Dynamics is an undisputed frontrunner in the race to develop humanoid robots —and now, its Atlas robot is getting to work at Hyundai. A corner of the parts warehouse at Hyundai’s Georgia factory is home to on-the-job training for Atlas.
