As the tech world descends on Las Vegas, Nevada, for CES 2026, which is the annual consumer electronics trade show set to take place January 6 – 9, 2026, a standout lineup of robots, designed to tackle a wide range of tasks, are preparing to make their debut. Follow along with Electronics360 for a quick look at some of the robots expected to make waves on the show floor this year.
Doosan Robotics’ Scan & Go Autonomous Robotic Solution
Doosan Robotics, a leader in collaborative and industrial robotics, is bringing its Scan & Go Autonomous Robotic Solution to this year’s CES. Already named a CES Innovation Awards Best of Innovation in the artificial intelligence (AI) category and an honoree in the robotics category, Doosan’s Scan & Go Autonomous Robotic Solution is an AI-powered autonomous robotic solution designed for large-scale manufacturing and composite repair, automating hazardous and labor-intensive composite maintenance settings where workers face noise, fine dust, repetitive strain and fall risks.

According to its developers, the Scan & Go interprets complex geometries in real time and produces tool paths from point-cloud data — thus eliminating the need for CAD modeling and code programming — via cognitive learning with physics-based intelligence and 3D perception.
The Scan & Go is mounted on a self-driving forklift capable of autonomously navigating, positioning and operating across large, irregular structures like aircraft fuselages, wind turbine blades and architectural façades. From that position, the system performs sanding, grinding and inspection tasks with little preparation, thereby allowing for increased production cycles, reduced labor costs, improved quality and safer workspaces.
Hyundai Motor Company’s Atlas
Automotive giant Hyundai Motor Company is set to debut its humanoid robot “Atlas,” which has been developed by its robotics affiliate Boston Dynamics, at this year’s CES.
This next-gen humanoid robot is reportedly designed to perform advanced tasks in factory settings and is equipped with deep learning-based AI, which enables Atlas to understand task sequences and respond to dynamic situations using real-time sensor data.

AI firm Tuya Smart and robot maker RoboPoet have jointly developed a new robot that functions as a companion for the lonely. Making its debut at CES 2026, the Fuzozo companion bot recognizes its owner and responds when spoken to. Additionally, it purrs when its owner pets it, moves closer when its owner is seated on the couch and waits for its owner to return after leaving the home.
OLLOBOT's OLLOBOT
Another companion robot making its debut at CES 2026 is the OLLOBOT from a tech company of the same name. Setting this companion robot apart from the Fuzozo, which is alien-like in appearance, it that the OLLOBOT brings comfort in the shape of a pet.

According to its developers, the OLLOBOT is designed to offer its owner reminders, to anticipate their needs based on context cues and to stay aware of the surrounding environment, for instance, alerting its owner to bring an umbrella before heading out on a rainy day.
OLLOBOT (which stands for Observation, Learning, Logic and Operation) is powered by a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model.
Go-Le Robotics’ AA-2

Already a CES 2026 honoree in the robotics category, the AA-2 is designed for apartments and mixed-use complexes. The autonomous delivery robot addresses challenges emerging from the growth of overnight delivery including worker fatigue, safety risks and elevator congestion. The AA-2, which offers contactless delivery, autonomously calls and rides elevators and completes multi-drop deliveries to up to three households in one trip. Further, the robot’s pneumatic tube frame means that AA-2 is one of the lightest-weight delivery robots, maximizing energy efficiency and battery life. Once it unloads its payload, the AA-2 deflates to minimize storage size.
Hexagon Robotics’ AEON
Another CES 2026 honoree in the robotics category making its debut at CES 2026 is AEON, a humanoid robot from Hexagon Robotics that is developed for industrial environments.

According to its developers, AEON can safely operate alongside workers and handle repetitive or hazardous tasks in industrial settings, such as manipulation, machine tending, asset inspection, digital reality capture, teleoperation and operator assistance. Additionally, the wheel-mounted robot features a sensor suite and sensor fusion, dexterous hands and battery self-swap mechanism.
ULS Robotics' VIATRIX Range Extended Powered Exoskeleton
An exoskeleton developed for active lifestyles has been created by robot manufacturer ULS Robotics Co., Ltd.

The VIATRIX, which is a CES 2026 honoree in the robotics category, takes its name from the Latin word for “traveler.” This range extended powered exoskeleton is designed to support walking, sports challenges and outdoor exploration, offering multiple modes to suit different activity needs. Specifically, the AI adaptive mode reduces physical strain and conserves energy while the impedance mode enhances workout efficiency.
HL Robotics’ CARRIE
Also making its debut at this year’s CES is what is being hailed by manufacturer HL Robotics as the world’s slimmest, high-capacity autonomous mobile robot. Carrie, the autonomous mobile robot, is a mere 15 cm tall and dubbed the world’s slimmest robot for transporting ton-level loads. CARRIE is a CES 2026 honoree in the construction and industrial tech, robotics and smart communities categories. It features an integrated weight-sensing system that measures payloads in real time, thus allowing for both solo operation and collaboration with nearby partner robots. According to its developers, this removes the need for separate load management systems, streamlines workflows and increases productivity in factory settings.
Widemount Dynamics' smart firefighting robot
A winner in the CES 2026 Best of Innovation in Products in Support of Human Security for All category, Widemount Dynamics, a spinout of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, has created an AI-driven smart firefighting robot that brings autonomy to emergency response.

The smart firefighting robot is equipped with mm-wave radar SLAM, which enables the robot to navigate smoke-filled environments without GPS or vision. Deep-learning modules classify burning materials in real time, automatically choosing the optimum extinguishing agent while onboard sensors measure flame power in real time. Additionally, command centers are fed with live data for rapid deployment decisions while the closed-loop vision-actuation system targets the fire and suppresses it without human assistance. Importantly, existing inspection robots can be retrofitted with the technology, giving them instant fire-detection and suppression capabilities.
Deep Robotics’ Lynx M20 Pro
A robot designed for complex terrains and hazardous environments is also making its CES 2026 debut. According to its developers, the robotics firm Deep Robotics, the Lynx M20 Pro, which is a 2026 honoree in the robotics category, is a medium-sized wheel-leg quadruped robot designed for power inspection, emergency rescue, logistics and scientific exploration. With self-developed joints and IP66 protection, the Lynx M20 Pro is capable of speeds up to 5 m/s, stair climbing up to 25 cm, single-step climbing up to 80 cm, slopes up to 45° and transporting payloads of 15 kg for 2.5 hours over 12 km.
CES 2026 takes place January 6 - 9 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
