CES 2026 Is Approaching: What We’ll Be Watching on the Show Floor
January 6-9, 2026 · Las Vegas, NV
CES doesn’t redefine the industry every year. But every few cycles, it signals a shift that’s difficult to ignore. CES 2026 is shaping up to be one of those moments.
Throughout CES 2026, RobotShop will provide focused, on-the-floor coverage highlighting robotics platforms, humanoid systems, and AI technologies that show clear paths toward deployment.
On the Floor at CES 2026: Collaboration with Peter Kappes
RobotShop is collaborating with Peter Kappes as an on-the-floor media contributor for CES 2026.
Peter will be filming directly from the show floor with a specific focus on humanoid robotics, alongside broader robotics and AI innovations shaping the industry. His early CES preview already points to the scale and diversity of humanoid systems expected at this year’s event.
Throughout the week and beyond, the content will include video footage and exclusive imagery, shaped around the interests and focus of builders, researchers, integrators, and organizations within the robotics community.
What We’ll Be Watching at CES 2026
Our CES coverage will focus on signals that matter beyond the show floor:
Humanoid robotics
How systems are demonstrated beyond basic walking or staged interactions - and what those demos imply for near-term deployment.
Robotics platforms, not just products
Systems presented as adaptable foundations for research, inspection, logistics, or service - rather than one-off concepts.
Presence-based robotics
Technologies where human operation, teleoperation, or shared autonomy remain central to functionality.
Physical AI in practice
AI that is visible in robot behavior, perception, and interaction - not just marketing language.
Manufacturers worth tracking
Not based on hype, but on what is actually shown, tested, and explained on the floor.
