Physical AI / Robotics Surge at CES

Physical AI remains CES 2026's defining story, with NVIDIA's robotics platform push and Vera Rubin entering full production reinforced by technical follow-up on rack specifications, Blackwell comparisons, manufacturing timing, and partner delivery. Hyundai's Boston Dynamics strategy, Atlas, Figure 03, Tesla Optimus, Chinese humanoid manufacturing, Doosan Bobcat's RogueX3, Cinnamon's nursing-home trial, and smaller companion robots show the breadth of the robotics moment, though economics, reliability, adoption, and delivery schedules remain open questions.
