CES 2026 in Las Vegas was lit 🔥 as AI officially left the lab and jumped into real-world apps. From smart home helpers to drone deliveries, this year's show had it all!
Submissions to the CES Innovation Awards showed a big leap: robotics entries shot up by one-third compared to 2025, and AI plus drone entries saw double-digit growth. That means more cutting-edge gadgets headed our way soon 🚀.
"We're seeing a major shift in views towards Chinese companies in 2026, and the last few years, there's been an evolution of more Chinese tech, more Chinese brands going overseas," said Chris Pereira, CES Innovation Awards judge. "Their execution capabilities are really shining."
Chinese robotics firms stole the spotlight 🤖, showcasing everything from humanoid bots that can assist at home to wheeled robots tackling factory work and logistics. With thousands of units already shipped and China representing over half of the humanoid robotics exhibitors, the sector's growth is off the charts.
Why it matters for us in South and Southeast Asia? These innovations set the pace for regional startups and tech communities. Expect smarter helpers, faster deliveries, and entertainment experiences powered by AI coming to cities like Bangalore, Jakarta, and Ho Chi Minh soon!
Whether you're coding the next app, exploring IoT hacks, or just love cool tech, CES 2026 proves AI's influence is only growing. Get ready to level up your world 🌏✨.
