The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026 is marking a definitive shift towards 'Physical AI' and 'Embodied Intelligence,' where AI moves beyond screens into the physical world. Key announcements include Google DeepMind integrating its Gemini-class multimodal models into Boston Dynamics' new electric Atlas humanoid robots, enabling them to respond to complex, unscripted commands. NVIDIA also unveiled its 'Vera Rubin' platform, a new AI superchip engineered for 'Agentic AI' capable of planning and executing multi-step tasks autonomously. Furthermore, NVIDIA launched new open physical AI models designed to reduce the cost and complexity of building intelligent robots, and Mobileye announced the acquisition of Mentee Robotics to accelerate its leadership in physical AI across autonomous driving and humanoid robotics. The city of Hangzhou in China also released an action plan to bolster its embodied AI robotics supply chain, aiming to become a global hub for innovation in this field.
