Robots and AI dominate major trade show in Las Vegas

(The Center Square) - Make way for the robots. Artificial intelligence is front and center at the famed Consumer Electronics Show, which took over Las Vegas this week at multiple venues. AI is part of the new technology that was unveiled across a variety of industries and put on display in front of tens of thousands of visitors from more than 150 countries. The global event, which can act as a benchmark for the coming year’s tech, has indicated an even further lean into AI, with a focus on hardware and health products. “This year the big trend that we're seeing is AI moving from the cloud into hardware,” CES spokesperson Katie O’Grady told The Center Square on Thursday. “A big trend right now is robotics. We're seeing a lot of humanoid robotics, a lot of manufacturing-focused robotics that are powered by AI.” Robotics have been in the works for years. But proponents at CES 2026 are saying that the time is finally coming where AI and physical robots are beginning to work together. Sever
