Various of Sentigent Technology's Rovar robot at exhibition Storyline New applications of artificial intelligence and robotics technologies have been impressing attendees at the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, with many Chinese firms winning recognition from global participants. The four-day show, considered the world's premier annual technology event, is set to conclude Friday after attracting over 4,500 exhibitors from more than 155 countries and regions, according to organizers. Multiple robotics products have been on display, from industrial-grade humanoids which can play a big role in the future of manufacturing, to home cleaning and companion robots which can bring much needed domestic help to people's homes. The prevalence of embodied intelligent systems also shows how AI is moving from mere algorithms into practical applications through these robots, which are expected to have a considerable impact on the real world. Chinese companies are at the forefront of innovation in this field and have a large presence at this year's CES, with the Hangzhou-based Unitree Robotics even setting up a special boxing ring to show off its latest robot that truly packs a punch with its highly-agile maneuverability. Meanwhile, another less intimidating-looking robot on show is the small, two-wheeled 'Rovar' robot, developed by Sentigent Technology, a tech firm headquartered south China's Shenzhen. The company describes it as the perfect outdoor companion for its ability to navigate various rugged terrains and pick-up and handle items. The wide variety of Chinese robot products with clearly defined applications has caught eye of many international participants at the Las Vegas show, with one Indian attendee commending the "impressive" job done by Chinese brands and others also hailing the wide range of capabilities these robots offer. "It's amazing. There's a lot of technology presented here. So, a lot of robots, I saw some of them playing piano, doing laundry. The Panda (robot) is amazing, and some robots [can] fight. And so there's a lot of robots around here," said a French exhibitor. "China is very much more developed and much more evolved than what people may think. And the robots in China may lead the world someday," said a visitor from Spain. Since its launch in 1967, the CES has been widely regarded as a barometer of global consumer technology trends. Against a backdrop of economic uncertainty and rapid technological changes, this year's show underscores a clear push toward AI-driven innovation, cross-industry integration, and solutions addressing long-term global needs.
