China's Robot Army Marches on Las Vegas

A wave of Chinese humanoid robots is heading to CES, the world's biggest consumer electronics show. Top manufacturers will showcase their latest designs in Las Vegas next week. This major presence highlights China's rapid advances in artificial intelligence and robotics. It also comes amid intense technological competition between the U.S. and China. Leading the charge are nearly a dozen companies. They include well-known firms like Unitree Robotics and AgiBot. State-supported projects, like the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Centre, will also attend. The event offers a global stage for these firms. They aim to demonstrate their innovations to international buyers and industry experts. CES 2026 will serve as a key test of their progress in this cutting-edge field.
