As every year, CES took the stage as the first major technology gathering of the year. More than 4,500 participants showcased their new inventions, and industry giants alongside startups offered clues about what the future may look like. Throughout the event, the dominant theme was artificial intelligence. Devices are getting smarter, robots are beginning to behave in more “human-like” ways, and they seem to be integrating into our daily lives.

Every year we say the same thing: “This year’s CES is different.” But let’s admit it, CES 2026 truly was different. Because this year, technology was not only smart, it was a little cheeky, a little cute, and at times made you think, “Do I really need this?”

Lights flashed in Las Vegas, stages were set, presentations were delivered, and the world once again faced a simple truth: the future is no longer knocking on the door, it is walking straight in.

Let me take you on a short CES 2026 tour. If you are ready, let’s begin.

 

Physical AI and Robotics

This year, robots were the stars of the show. From “humanoid” robots that do far more than basic household cleaning to smart home assistants, many models took the stage:

  • The Atlas humanoid robot, powered by artificial intelligence, was designed for industrial tasks and is planned for use in production lines.
  • LG’s CLOiD robot aims to handle household chores, attempting tasks like doing the dishes, laundry, and even preparing food.
  • For those looking for a cuter alternative, a “cyber pet” called OlloNi attracted visitors with its facial expressions and warm design.
  • Robotic vacuum cleaners can now perceive obstacles “like steps” and climb over them.

 

Smart Transportation and Vehicles

Automotive companies continue to bring artificial intelligence into vehicles:

  • The BMW iX3 took its place at CES as a next-generation electric vehicle, signaling a new era in electric mobility.
  • Uber introduced its high-tech robotaxi concept, showcasing the taxi experience of the future with features like personalized interiors, temperature, and music control.

 

Computers and Processors: AI Everywhere

Chip manufacturers also took the stage at CES 2026 with new AI-focused products:

  • Next-generation processors like the Intel Core Ultra Series 3 were developed for more powerful AI computing.
  • The AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series aims to enhance built-in AI performance on desktop computers.
  • This year, the concept of the “AI PC” became a trend, with devices working more intelligently using local algorithms rather than relying on the cloud.

 

Smart Homes and Entertainment

Homes were also a major focus at CES this year. From TVs to smart speakers, many products are redesigning everyday life:

  • In-home devices like Philips Hue’s AR-supported smart lighting systems “sense the environment” and automatically suggest lighting settings.
  • Amazon expanded its place in the smart home market with new Ring features, Alexa+ integrations, and content-focused experiences.
  • More “lifestyle-oriented” products such as OLED-screen backpacks, smartwatches, and portable displays also drew attention.

 

Gaming and Hardware

The gaming world was strongly represented at the fair this year:

  • ASUS ROG celebrated its 20th anniversary with dual-screen gaming laptops and holographic fan designs.
  • Razer reimagined the gaming experience with AI-supported, cockpit-style headsets and accessories.

 

Fun, Weird, and Unusual

CES 2026 was not only about serious innovations, but also about surprising and entertaining products:

  • Lollipop Star, a “chocolate speaker” you can eat while listening to music.
  • Smart toilets, AI penguins, and other strange but fun gadgets showed the colorful side of the fair.

 

Conclusion: Technology “Beyond the Familiar”

CES 2026 did not just show what might be possible in the future, it made it feel “touchable.” Artificial intelligence is no longer only in software, it is in the real world, in our homes, in our pockets, and even in our robot companions. Some products may still be in the prototype stage, but the ideas already feel like they have entered our lives.

Which of these products are you most excited to see on the market this year? Choosing a favorite is not easy! 😊
