Chinese consumer electronics brands dominated the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, showcasing cutting-edge robotics and smart technology displays.
CES, first held in 1967, is a bellwether for the global consumer electronics industry. It annually presents cutting-edge innovations from tech companies in fields including artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, smart home systems, and autonomous vehicles.
This year's event was held from January 6-9, featuring product launches, exhibitions, business meetings, and industry forums.
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 diverse range of Chinese robotic products, each with clearly defined applications, attracted the attention of many international participants during the four-day event. Many international visitors expressed their excitement about the event, highlighting their amazement at the impressive developments in Chinese products, which exceeded their expectations and left them eager to explore more. "I think it's really good. I think it has been developing. This exceeded my expectation. It's going through the roof. It's like a lot of amazing things. We walked in a little while ago, so we only went to like three booths. We're amazed. I can't wait to finish seeing everything. It's like, wow," said a visitor.
"I'm really surprised by them today. It's one thing seeing them on pictures and videos. I've done some research, and it's another thing seeing them in real life. I think China is absolutely killing it and the rest of the industry should start paying attention," said another visitor.
"This is one of the brands that is innovating constantly because I see one robot but then I see another one and another one and another one, and they are always trying to make the life easier for people," said a visitor.
