The new Atlas will be deployed at Hyundai and Google DeepMind first. Boston Dynamics' Atlas is finally entering production. After years of testing this humanoid robot (and forcing it to dance), the robotics company announced at CES 2026 that the final version of the machine is being built now. The first companies to receive deployments will be Hyundai, Boston Dynamics' majority shareholder, and Google DeepMind, the firm's new AI partner . This final enterprise version of Atlas can perform a wide array of industrial tasks, according to Boston Dynamics, and is specifically designed with consistency and reliability in mind.

CES 2026 day 0: The biggest news you missed from the show's Monday press conferences CES 2026 press day was all about AI, silicon and setting expectations early. CES 2026 officially opens today, but much of the show's biggest announcements already landed during Monday's press conferences and early events. AI was everywhere, chipmakers dominated the schedule and a handful of brands used the pre-show window to quietly drop meaningful hardware updates. Below are the biggest announcements and trends from January 5, plus a few standout hands-ons from Pepcom and CES Unveiled. LG's World Premiere keynote leaned hard into its vision of "Affectionate Intelligence," with AI positioned as the connective tissue across TVs, appliances and even robotics.

The motor company is set to show off some impressive robots this year. CES has long felt like a full-on auto show, but the car-centric energy seems somewhat muted at CES 2026 . Sure, the Afeela electric vehicle from the Sony-Honda joint venture is returning to the show floor, but with the Trump administration yanking most EV incentives from the market, the industry isn't offering a full-court press of new vehicles in Las Vegas this year. While the company's Mobis subsidiary will present more than 30 mobility convergence technologies during CES week -- including its Holographic Windshield Display -- we're hearing the Korean auto giant will instead use its press conference to focus on its AI Robotics Strategy . That will apparently include showcasing its new Atlas robot, as well as the wheeled MobED robot line.

How to watch today's Bosch CES 2026 press conference live The German engineering and tech giant will share new car cabin tech and AI enhancements. How to watch today's Bosch CES 2026 press conference live You might think of Bosch as the modern European equivalent to what the GE brand once was in America. It's a home appliance name (thanks to its partnership with Siemens), but the German multinational brand's core business is really about providing the underlying technology and engineering that powers cars, homes and factories around the world. That focus is reflected at CES 2026, where much of what Bosch is unveiling is intended to be licensed to other companies rather than sold as Bosch-branded products on store shelves. Case in point is Bosch's automotive plans at CES.

Samsung unveiled AI-powered products at CES 2026: Everything announced from the year's first press conference CES 2026 kicked off with a big press conference from one of the biggest companies at the show: Samsung. The tech giant held its first look presentation to show off new home products and make a plethora of AI-infused announcements. New TVs, speakers, projectors and more were among the headliners, along with updated gaming monitors and soundbars. Many of the products announced on stage were not actually new, but instead had been dripped out by Samsung recently. We did get a closer look a previously undisclosed set, a flagship 130-inch Micro RGB TV framed by a giant metal easel with embedded speakers.

NVIDIA is showcasing robotics, simulation, gaming and more at CES 2026. During CES 2025, NVIDIA spent much of its keynote touting its leading position in artificial intelligence. Still, the company managed to squeeze in a few notable hardware announcements, including its RTX 5000-series GPUs and Project Digits desktop supercomputer (later redubbed Spark). For this year's show, the company's website says it's lighting up CES 2026 with the power of AI. To that end, NVIDIA is going big in Las Vegas, promising hands-on demos in its Fontainebleau booth, replete with the latest NVIDIA solutions driving innovation and productivity across industries.

How to watch the Samsung'First Look' CES 2026 presentation Samsung is kicking off CES with a press conference tonight. Samsung is arguably the 800-pound gorilla of CES, since many of the other consumer tech titans -- Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon -- either no longer have a presence, or have never shown up to begin with. In the past, that's given Samsung free range to bow a full spectrum of products that range from phones and computers to refrigerators, AI assistants and rolling robots. But for CES 2026, the company is switching things up a bit: Instead of its longtime midday Monday press conference, the Korean giant will take the lead of the show with a Sunday night presentation. Over the past few weeks, Samsung has been dropping press releases left and right, so we know at least some of what to expect in Vegas this year. Of course, we're holding out hope that we get to hear an update on the Ballie robot -- a star of previous CES presentations that ostensibly missed its previously promised 2025 release date .

The German engineering and tech giant will discuss how it's bridging the physical and digital gap with people-centric tech.
