CES 2026 Closes With AI and Robotics Center Stage
-

CES 2026 is winding down in Las Vegas, marking the end of another intense week for the global consumer tech industry. As executives, engineers, investors, and media head home, the big takeaway is clear: AI — especially physical AI — dominated the show.
Unlike last year’s focus on agentic AI, CES 2026 leaned heavily into robots, autonomous systems, and AI embedded in real-world machines. From factory equipment to home assistants, companies showcased how AI is moving beyond software into tangible products that interact directly with people and environments.
