Humanoids conquered CES 2026

CES 2026: A New Era for Humanoid Robots – What We Saw in Las Vegas
All 16 robots have now been added to the humanoid Guide and you will find links below.

CES 2026 in Las Vegas reaffirmed that humanoid robotics is no longer niche — it’s booming. From dynamic industrial assistants to agile entertainment bots, this year’s show floor was dominated by machines designed to interact, assist, and innovate in real-world settings. Industry heavyweights like Nvidia, LG, Boston Dynamics and a growing roster of Chinese robotics firms spotlighted advancements that push humanoids closer to everyday utility. Chinese companies in particular made up a large portion of the humanoid exhibits, underscoring global competition in robotics innovation.

At Humanoid Guide, our team walked miles of booths, spoke with developers, and got demo time with the robots below, all of which point to practical use cases and more refined autonomy than CES shows of just a few years ago.
