THE HUMANOIDS CAME TO VEGAS

At the Las Vegas fair in the first week of January, a range of humanoids and platforms from players such as K‑Humanoids, Robros, Blue Robin, and Tommoro Robotics are showcased. A humanoid is a robot with a human-like body, movements, and functions, designed to mimic the human form to interact more naturally with the surroundings.

Model names like P‑73, X‑Humanoid, and R‑Humanoid recur, and exhibitors highlight balance, mobility, and precision in configurations aimed at practical and operational tasks. Several solutions are presented as complete systems, while others focus on arm, hand, and modular parts.

Embodied intelligence

In the category of physical AI, for example, Faraday Dynamics and maum.ai show combinations of sensor technology, movement, and adaptive systems. Paxini showcases tactile sensors and 6D technology that registers both where something is and how it is twisted in space, as well as control demos intended to provide more human-like interaction.

On the industrial side, an underwater system for construction is shown, as well as the DG‑5F robot arm and hand from Tesollo. Neuromeka presents solutions for autonomy and robot control, while EngineAI describes work with humanoids, including motion control and embodied intelligence. The latter is a form of artificial intelligence that is closely linked to the robot's body, sensors, and actions in the physical world, so that learning and decisions occur through interaction with the environment.

Robot dogs

The selection also includes robot dogs and mobile platforms. Galbot showcases autonomous units for productivity and logistics, and Dobot demonstrates Rover X1 as a follow-up platform for various tasks. Robotera presents models with names like L7 and Xhand, focusing on arm, mobility, and practical function. In the support segment around the robots, Sunny Optical displays optics and imaging, Kneron presents visual perception, and Hanvon and Paxini contribute components for navigation, recognition, and analysis.

Overall, the exhibition points towards a year of robots, where humanoids, industrial robots, sensors, and physical AI play a more prominent role.
