Best of CES 2026: The smart home & home security gear edition

PCWorld

When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. From smart locks powered by light waves to a robot lawn mower that can pick fruit, these are the coolest new smart products we saw in Las Vegas this year. The latest edition of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is already drawing to a close, and once again, we've seen some truly impressive smart home and home security innovations--and as usual, some are more likely to ship than others. We're not counting on the robot lawn mower that picks fruit and lobs tennis balls to canines to actually land in stores, but it certainly counts as one of the biggest attention-getters in Vegas this week. We also saw some far more practical smart products that wowed us, from the smart lock that's powered by light waves to the new go-almost-anywhere Ring sensors that connect to Amazon's growing patchwork of Sidewalk neighborhood networks.


Mammotion's Spino S1 Pro robotic pool cleaner lifts itself out of the water

A robotic arm that sits at the edge of the pool retrieves the scrubber from the water and recharges its battery when cleaning is complete. Mammotion is best known for building robot lawn mowers, having only introduced its first robotic pool cleaner in July 2025, but it's looking to shake up the market with its second effort, now on display at CES. The Mammotion Spino S1 Pro promises nearly hands-off operation, thanks to a pool-side dock with a robotic arm that lifts the scrubber out of the water when its work is done. When you consider that pool robots can easily weigh 30 or 40 pounds when they're full of water, this innovation promises to make that task much easier for pool owners--especially older or less steady individuals--and it sounds like a potential major selling point.

The Luba 3 AWD leads the new lineup, featuring LiDAR, RTK, and AI vision navigation, The more compact Luba and Yuka models target smaller yards. Mammotion is expanding its robotic lawn mower lineup for 2026, introducing three new models at CES that aim to simplify autonomous yard care for a broader range of homeowners. The company unveiled a new flagship model, the Luba 3 AWD, alongside smaller offerings in the Luba Mini 2 AWD and the Yuka Mini 2 series. The standout among them is the Luba 3 AWD, a high-end mower designed for large and complex lawns.


Mammotion says it has achieved a major leap in robot navigation

PCWorld

Mammotion announced a new robot mower navigation platform ahead of the IFA trade show in Berlin on Thursday: Its Tri-Fusion Positioning System combines LiDAR, Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), and vision capabilities into a single system. Combining two of these technologies is not uncommon. Older mowers have used a combination of LiDAR and RTK for much of the past half-decade, while combining one or the other with vision navigation has gained favor more recently. And while some robot mowers have all three technologies onboard, they aren't necessarily connected for navigation, and serve other mower operation purposes. Mammotion says Tri-Fusion is the culmination of nine years of development effort, and that it be made available as firmware updates for its recently released Luba Mini AWD LiDAR and the Yuka Mini Vision robot lawn mowers as well as several yet-to-be-announced models.


Mammotion adds a robotic pool cleaner to its product line

PCWorld

Mammotion, a major player in the robot lawn mower market, is expanding its product line to include its first robotic pool cleaner. The all-new Mammotion Spino E1 is designed to clean the floor, walls, and waterline of mid-sized pools--up to 1,614 square feet--with four hours of runtime on its 6,000mAh lithium battery. While the bot it out of the water, users will be able to use the Mammotion app to check the bot's battery level and choose its cleaning mode: All, Floor Only, Wall Only, Max, or Eco (a maintenance mode). When the robot has finished its assigned task, it will park itself at the waterline for easy retrieval. The robotic pool cleaner is equipped with twin brushless drive motors and a third motor that produces suction of up to 5,800 gallons per hour.
