CES 2026’s Wildest Tech: AI & Robotics You Have to See

From Cheddar.

This year’s CES offered a revealing look at where AI and robotics stand in 2026, with companies like Realbotix and Boston Dynamics showcasing significant advancements in humanoid technology and autonomous systems.

We spent time on the show floor examining these developments up close, speaking with engineers, and testing the capabilities that are moving from concept to commercial reality. The progress is tangible—these machines are more refined, more responsive, and more integrated into practical applications than previous generations.

What struck us most wasn’t just the technical achievements, but the questions they raise about implementation, adoption, and societal impact. Some innovations impressed us with their sophistication, while others revealed the gaps that still exist between ambition and execution. Whether you’re tracking these technologies professionally or simply curious about where we’re headed, this coverage provides context you won’t find in press releases. Join us for an honest assessment of what’s actually happening in robotics and AI right now.
