The era of AI living solely behind a screen is officially over. CES 2026 has marked a definitive pivot for the tech industry, moving focus from chatbots and image generators to “physical AI” and advanced robotics. The Las Vegas showcase was dominated by hardware that brings artificial intelligence into the real world.
The standout theme was versatility. From the industrial might of Boston Dynamics’ redesigned Atlas humanoid robot to surprisingly practical consumer gadgets like AI-powered ice makers, the technology is maturing rapidly. This shift signals that companies are ready to move beyond novelty, aiming to integrate intelligent automation directly into our daily physical lives.
