CES 2026: These Robots and AI Tools Dominated the Show Floor

CLOiD is the name of LG's first-ever AI-enabled home robot. CLOiD can slowly fold laundry, throw croissants into an oven and grab a beverage from the fridge. CLOiD can also connect to other smart devices and command them to perform tasks, such as starting the wash cycle. 

AI-powered smart glasses have been around for some time, with the Meta Ray Ban being the most popular. The Razer Project Motoko prototype is doing things a bit differently. Interestingly, Razer, the gaming laptop and accessories company, has incorporated cameras into the sides of its headphones, enabling them to analyze the world and transmit information directly to the user's ears. 

Boston Dynamics is a leader in robotics. It's no surprise the company was back at CES showing its latest humanoid robot. The new Atlas prototype has a more human-like stride and will soon be used in manufacturing. Boston Dynamics has also partnered with Google DeepMind to develop new AI models for robotics. 

Swiss startup AI Tails has created an AI-powered feeding station for your cat. The camera analyzes your pet's movements and expressions to find if anything might be wrong. 

Not all robots need arms. Some just need legs. Roborock's new Saros Rover works like any other robot vacuum cleaner. It hums along the floor, sucking up dirt and other debris. The Saros Rover sets itself apart thanks to its legs, giving it the ability to stand and move up stairs. 

AI wearables really haven't taken off, despite obnoxious marketing on New York City subways. Perhaps it's because they all resemble gadgets rather than items people would actually wear. Nirva AI has introduced new wearables that resemble jewelry. Nirva jewelry passively gathers data as you navigate the world and delivers insights to your phone via an app. 

Robot vacuums are always big at CES. Narwal is trying to set itself apart with its Flow 2 robot vacuum. It'll utilize AI-powered cloud computing to enhance object avoidance. Unlike past robot vacuums, which may only be trained on 20 to 30 objects to avoid, the Flow 2 can send footage to the cloud and better detect almost anything. Its Baby Care mode will also lower the noise when vacuuming near cribs and can identify lost toys.
