CES 2026 has showcased humanoid robots capable of performing nearly every task. They can dance with confidence, create paper windmills, serve beverages, wipe your mirrors, organize laundry, surf the internet for information as if they possess all knowledge, entertain your kids, engage in chess games, capture photos, and even participate in Blackjack. Honestly, is there anything these robots cannot accomplish? Actually, there are many.
All these robots, produced by various companies and presented at the Las Vegas Convention Center, are programmed for very specific functions. They are a far cry from Isaac Asimov’s “I, Robot,” or other science fiction novels you might have in mind. Nonetheless, these brands are rapidly advancing their technologies.
José Adorno/BGROne of the notable companies is Agibot, which revealed its latest range of humanoid robots aimed at the B2B sector, with potential consumer expansion in the future. The new A2 Series features full-size humanoid robots that excel in guided presentations and showroom environments, resembling what XPENG showcased a few months prior. The company also offers the X2 Series, consisting of shorter robots designed for dancing and ideal for entertainment, research, and educational purposes. Additionally, there is a G2 Series tailored for factory settings, which utilizes wheels instead of legs to conserve battery life.
