Video Friday: Robots Are Everywhere at CES 2026

Video Clip Friday is your regular choice of amazing robotics video clips, accumulated by your pals at IEEE Range robotics. We likewise publish a regular schedule of upcoming robotics occasions for the following couple of months. Please send us your events for addition.

ICRA 2026: 1– 5 June 2026, VIENNA

Delight in today’s video clips!

We’re thrilled to reveal the item variation of our Atlas ® robotic. This enterprise-grade humanoid robotic supplies remarkable stamina and variety of movement, specific control, and smart versatility– made to power the brand-new commercial transformation.

I value the imagination and technological technology right here, however reasonably, if you’ve obtained greater than one flooring in your residence? Simply obtain a 2nd robotic. That single-step sunken living-room though …

[ Roborock ]

Wow, SwitchBot’s CES 2026 video clip program nearly as several robotics in their dream home as I have in my genuine home.

[ SwitchBot ]

What is occurring in robotics now that I can acquire even more contentment from viewing robotic process automation than I can from viewing yet one more humanoid video clip?

[ ABB ]

Yes, this is certainly a robotic I desire near to my life.

[ Unitree ]

The video clip listed below shows a MenteeBot knowing, via mentoring, just how to change a battery in one more MenteeBot. No teleoperation is utilized.

[ Mentee Robotics ]

Directly, I believe that we ought to urge humanoid robotics to drop a lot more usually, so that we can see whether they can stand up once again.

[ Agility Robotics ]

Accomplishing long-horizon, trustworthy garments control in the real life stays among one of the most tough troubles in robotics. This online examination shows a solid advance in personified knowledge, vision-language-action systems, and real-world robot freedom.

Numerous individuals all over the world requirement support with feeding. Robot feeding systems provide the prospective to boost freedom and lifestyle for people with disabilities and minimize caretaker work. Nevertheless, their prevalent fostering has actually been restricted by technological difficulties such as approximating bite timing, the ideal minute for the robotic to move food to a customer’s mouth. In this job, we present WAFFLE: Wearable Method For Feeding with Discovered Bite Timing, a system that precisely forecasts bite timing by leveraging wearable sensing unit information to be extremely responsive to all-natural individual signs such as head motions, eating, and speaking.

[ CMU RCHI ]

Humanoid robotics are currently offered as systems, which is a fantastic method of avoiding the entire functionality inquiry.

[ PNDbotics ]

We’re presenting Spatially-Enhanced Recurring Devices (SRUs)– an easy yet effective alteration that makes it possible for robotics to construct implied spatial memories for navigating. Released in the International Journal of Robotics Research Study (IJRR), this job shows approximately +105% enhancement over standard techniques, with robotics efficiently browsing 70+ meters in the real life utilizing just a solitary forward-facing video camera.

[ ETHZ RSL ]

Expecting the DARPA Triage Challenge this loss!
