Chinese robot manufacturer AGIBOT announced its entry into the US humanoid market, unveiling its ready-to-use embodied robots at CES 2026. The portfolio consists of three humanoid robots and a quadruped robot that can be deployed to assist humans and work in real-life scenarios and challenges.

Boston Dynamics latest Atlas humanoid robot is big, strong, and increasingly smart, thanks to Google. The company has plans to ship up to 30,000 per year.

But if you shrink that robot down, give it the ambulatory capabilities of a human and bathe the whole thing in AI, Hyundai reckons it can replace the most unreliable element of the modern assembly line: the human laborer. Enter Atlas, one of those humanoid ‘bots I mentioned up top there. As it turns out, Atlas can do more than dodge a hockey stick.

Nvidia’s new lineup of open-source AI models is headlined by Alpamayo 1 (pictured), a so-called VLA, or vision-language-action, algorithm with 10 billion parameters. It can use footage from an autonomous vehicle’s cameras to generate driving trajectories.

At CES 2026, SwitchBot is using the onero H1 concept robot to make a clear statement about where it thinks smart homes are headed. Specifically, it's focusing less on adding another gadget and more on introducing a system that can actually do things.

A Chinese company founded under a year ago claims its AI-powered robot can perform a task many humans struggle with. It could end up being a big deal.

To drive that momentum forward, Nvidia unveiled new open Nvidia Cosmos and GR00T models during its Las Vegas keynote event on Monday. The company stated that these models are designed to enable developers to allocate less time and resources to pretraining and more to building next-generation robots.
