Engineers and computer scientists are developing AI-powered robots that look and act human. Boston Dynamics invited 60 Minutes to watch its humanoid, Atlas, learn how to work at a Hyundai factory.

Two-legged robots have a tendency to fall over and "need human intervention to get back up," like tortoises fallen on their backs. Because they're heavy and unstable, they are "currently unsafe for humans to be close to when they are walking."

Boston Dynamics debuted the latest version of its Atlas robot while Commonwealth Fusion struck a software deal with Nvidia.

The CES trade show opened in Las Vegas on Tuesday, giving a glimpse of the latest technology trends. A number of firms are showcasing AI-powered products, including humanoid robots.

Sometimes, AI just wants to be your friend. And while robot pets weren’t the biggest stars of CES 2026, they’ve become more than just noise and are signaling how AI is apparently leaving our screens and taking on a physical presence in our lives.

Here are the highlights from the world's largest technology trade show happening in Las Vegas, including a new Nvidia chip architecture.
