"What has now changed," Skild AI CEO Deepak Pathak told Fortune, "is that these models or these robots can now can learn from data."

The GENE.01 humanoid robot is equipped with a full-body tactile skin, a distributed network of touch and force sensors covering its surface. This layer will allow the robot to sense contact, pressure, and even subtle physical interactions across its entire body.

A Chinese company founded under a year ago claims its AI-powered robot can perform a task many humans struggle with. It could end up being a big deal.

ENGINEAI Robotics Technology, a developer of embodied intelligence systems, showcased two flagship products at CES 2026. These included the PM01, a lightweight and highly mobile general-purpose embodied agent,

Robots at CES 2026 are smarter, more helpful and more fun. Here are our favorites so far.

Scientists achieve major robotics milestone as robot learns 1,000 different physical tasks in single day, potentially transforming manufacturing, healthcare and home robotics.

There is no question that 2026 is already set up to be something of a continuance of 2025, at least in the sense of moving deeper into the world of AI, automation, and robotics. As companies deploy AI at scale and industrial robots continue to replace human labor slowly,

Some exchange-traded funds (ETFs) expand upon that scenario by offering exposure to multiple themes. That strategy isn't just about convenience. It's rooted in relevance, too, because some disruptive technologies intersect with each other -- for example, artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics.
