WELCOME TO CES 2026

BY GARY SHAPIRO, CEO AND VICE CHAIR, KINSEY FABRIZIO, PRESIDENT, CONSUMER TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION (CTA)®

MANAGING VP OF SALES, B2B TECH: Adam Goldstein, adam.goldstein@ futurenet.com AD SALES: John Casey, Janis Crowley, Zahra Majma, Tony Monteleone,

CES 2026 is almost here, and Las Vegas is ready to welcome the global tech community back to the world’s most influential stage. This January, innovators from around the world will come together to build partnerships, make deals, and debut the technologies reshaping what’s possible. When innovators show up, the future moves faster — and CES is where that momentum begins.

Across the show floor, attendees will see how people and technology are advancing together: breakthroughs in AI and mobility, new robotics and digital health solutions, immersive entertainment, smarter homes, and nextgeneration energy systems. AI remains the driving force across nearly every category, and keynotes from AMD, Caterpillar, General Catalyst, Havas, Lenovo, McKinsey, and Siemens will highlight where industries are heading next.

A major new feature this year is CES Foundry, an AI and quantum hub at the Fontainebleau on January 7 and 8. Foundry will unite companies like AMD, AWS, Google, NVIDIA, and Vector with emerging startups pushing the frontier of model development, specialized acceleration, edge AI, and quantum applications — supported by two stages of programming, live demos, and high-impact networking.

We’ve also added new Innovation Award categories: EdTech, enterprise tech, filmmaking, logistics, and travel. All of these categories show how every sector uses technology to advance. New tracks on women’s health, wearables, and manufacturing, along with Modev’s AI Training Courses, give attendees timely, practical insights on strategy, implementation, and responsible adoption.

CES continues to grow as a community. Creator Space expands in Central Hall, C Space returns to ARIA with deeper conversations on content and culture, and Eureka Park remains one of the world’s most dynamic startup hubs. Our new CES Investor Partnership Program creates an even stronger path for the investment community to engage.

This will also be our first CES in the fully renovated LVCC, a cutting-edge venue for global announcements and product launches. Programming runs January 6 to 9, with major news kicking off early during Media Days on January 4 and 5, including top-tier press events, Unveiled Las Vegas, and CTA’s annual Tech Trends to Watch.

CES is where innovators show up, where business gets done, and where, together, we solve the world’s biggest challenges. We can’t wait to see you in Las Vegas!

THE MANUFACTURING TRACK

Shaping the Future of Enterprise Innovation at CES 2026 Each year, CES brings together the world’s most influential technology leaders to showcase what’s next— and in 2026, global consulting firms are taking a major role in shaping the future of enterprise innovation. Firms like Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, EY, Accenture, McKinsey and Boston Consulting Group aren’t just attending, they’re actively driving the dialogue around transformation, trust and technology.

These top-tier consultancies bring together the people, capabilities and technologies that help their clients gain a competitive edge. CES offers a unique opportunity for them to convene with clients across industries, from media and entertainment to healthcare and consumer tech, in meaningful, hands-on ways. Being able to see, touch and experience what’s happening deepens B2B relationships and opens doors to new ones.

The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) plays a key role in helping firms maximize their presence at CES, offering year-round engagement to cocreate meaningful experiences. Last year, Deloitte hosted more than 20 panel sessions on topics ranging from AI and trust to the future of healthcare, offering thought leadership and actionable insights.

Accenture showcased a multifaceted vision for how AI is transforming industries, with CEO Julie Sweet emphasizing trust and responsible innovation in her keynote. PwC focused on sustainable mobility ecosystems, highlighting interconnected transportation networks, energy security, and strategic partnerships.

Media-Mirror: Skin Health Assessment Innovationa BOOTH 61267, EUREK A PARK MediMirror, a recipient of the University of South Florida Bull Ring Accelerator Grant (BR AG), is making its CES debut at Eureka Park.

Founded by skin imaging expert Katharine Hanlon, MediMirror is showcasing a functional prototype of what it believes to be the world’s first split-polarization mirror designed to reveal skin health with clinical clarity.

Unlike standard LED mirrors that only illuminate the surface, MediMirror utilizes patent-pending optical technology to provide a simultaneous “split-view” of the skin.

One half of the view utilizes parallel-polarized light to highlight surface texture, pores, and wrinkles, while the other half utilizes cross-polarized light to reveal subsurface features such as inflammation, spider veins, and pigmentation often invisible to the naked eye.

At CES 2026, the company is offering an exclusive look at MediMirror’s functional prototype via a raw engineering model designed to demonstrate the efficacy of the optics and the physics behind the technology.

InsBotics Desktop Robot Offers ‘Extreme Lifelikeness’ BOOTH 53773, VENETIAN Beijing InsBotics Technol-

ogy Co., Ltd. is introducing Robie, a desktop companion that moves beyond the cold, mechanical nature of traditional hardware. With its round, “Mochi-like” appearance and agile movements, Robie is designed to offer warmth, healing, and genuine connection. Currently in the advanced engineering prototype stage, Robie’s market launch is scheduled for April 2026.

Robie’s magic lies in its proprietary 5-Axis Generative Motion Engine (two ears, two hands, and base rotation). Unlike robots with stiff, repetitive movements, Robie is fluid and organic. When happy, Ro-

bie’s ears wiggle rapidly, and it raises its little hands in joy. When sad, its ears droop down pitifully. It feels alive because it has instincts. Startle it, and it shrinks back; shake it, and its eyes spiral with dizziness; gently pet its forehead, and it closes its eyes to fall asleep.

In early user co-creation, Robie demonstrated healing power across social circles. Robie fulfills InsBotics’ mission--”To accompany, heal, and warm everyone with ‘life-like’ beings”--by serving diverse groups: from curious children needing a screen-free companion, to adults

seeking emotional support in a lonely digital age, to seniors longing for connection, and finally, to autistic children who have established unique, touching bonds with Robie.

#CES2026

select titles from Prime Video’s extensive catalog of award-winning programming, with plans to expand availability across our library in the future.”

This announcement also underscores the growing support in the consumer electronics and creative community for HDR10+, making it ideal for movies, television programs, video games and more. All of this is why the introduction of HDR10+ ADVANCED has been eagerly anticipated by companies like MediaTek, Panasonic, Roku, Samsung and TP Vision; as well as leading content providers like Amazon Prime Video.

HDR10+ ADVANCED provides creatives with a number of exciting new features and benefits that can be enjoyed on compatible products.

Enhanced Overall Brightness: Extended statistical metadata is provided to produce better image tonality. Adopters can utilize this to achieve greater brightness that can be experienced on today’s most

advanced televisions.

Intelligent Motion Smoothing: This metadata feature is used to address the effects of visible “judder” in a given scene, by allowing compatible displays to dynamically adjust the amount of motion “smoothing “that is applied.

Local Tone Mapping: Allows creators to achieve greater brightness control in specific areas of the screen, adding more overall depth and detail.

Genre-based Optimization: A new metadata tool enables content providers and encoders to create “customized” genres dynamically. The display can then optimize picture processing and tailor it to each type of content.

Advanced Color Control: HDR10+ ADVANCED also enables content creators to dynamically calculate color gamut data, for more accurate color reproduction.

Adaptive Cloud Gaming: In addition to compatibility with HDR10+ GAMING picture mode, HDR10+ ADVANCED supports cloud-based games with real-time ambient light adaptation, creating a more engaging user experience.

When a car is driving at 130 km/h, it will need to safely detect vehicles or obstacles at 300 meters, giving the system enough time to brake gradually or change lanes smoothly without causing disruption to surrounding traffic. Conventional automotive radar, by contrast, can detect obstacles only up to around 80 meters, allowing only for emergency braking at highway speeds. Due to its limited resolution and low dynamic range, conventional radar cannot separate a person or lost cargo from a guardrail, so it will be missed and pose a great risk. These limitations make it unsuitable for the reliable, long-range perception demanded by Level 3 autonomy.

Arbe’s ultra-HD Radar for perception exceeds the 300-meter detection requirement while delivering the resolution and dynamic range needed to interpret complex highway scenarios. Arbe’s massive 2,304-channel array (48 receive x 48 transmit) surpasses conventional 12 x 16 radar, providing long-range detection with unmatched detail and clarity.

This architecture enables Arbe’s radar to measure distance and relative velocity with exceptional accuracy while resolving fine horizontal and vertical detail. Arbe can distinguish between closely spaced objects, track multiple vehicles across lanes, and detect subtle cut-in maneuvers.

The patch, equipped with a high-sensitivity strain sensor, adheres to the skin and simultaneously detects micrometer-level changes in key aging-related factors—skin tightness, UV/blue light exposure, temperature, and moisture. The data is transmitted in real time via the Bluetooth module, and the AI-powered application integrates the dataset with daily lifestyle patterns to model the composite exposome over a 24-hour cycle.

Based on 24-hour signals and the dataset, the system identifies factors that accelerate skin aging for the individual user, predict where and how wrinkles or loss of elasticity may appear, and provide personalized skincare routine and product recommendations.

To further enhance measurement accuracy, Skinsight incorporates MIT Professor Jeehwan Kim and his team’s “remote epitaxy” fabrication method and a “piezotronic sensor” architecture with electron-level sensitivity. The technology provides excellent breathability, allowing the patch to remain securely attached even during perspiration, and conform closely to the skin’s natural contours for stable, long-term use. This enables reliable tracking of skin changes in various daily environments and collect highly individualized data.

BOOTH 4767 Foretellix, a leading provider of data-automation for AI-powered autonomy, has partnered with Inverted AI, a pioneer in predictive human behavior modeling, to launch a hybrid simulation solution that combines controllable and efficient scenario generation with learned driving behavior models to generate scenarios that are reactive, realistic, and diverse. The result is a powerful tool for autonomous vehicle (AV) developers to rigorously train, test, and validate their AV stacks in simulation, across both everyday traffic conditions and rare, high-risk events, at scale.

This joint solution addresses that need by combining Foretellix’s intelligent scenario generation and test automation with Inverted AI’s naturalistic AI behavior models. Developers can define what they want to test, such as a vehicle cut-in or pedestrian crossing, and Foretellix generates the precise conditions needed for the scenario. Inverted AI’s models then control surrounding road users, nonplayable characters (NPCs), based on driving behavior learned from large-scale real-world driving data, enabling high-fidelity simulation of realistic humanlike traffic interactions. This integration is enabled through Foretellix’s Behavioral Models API, which

provides a standardized interface for coupling scenario logic with varied behavioral models, enabling flexibility and rapid adaptation to different simulation needs.

The result is a simulation environment with the most realistic behavioral distribution possible and where edge cases can be safely tested in context. This accelerates development, improves AI model robustness, and supports safer deployment of AV systems.

Foretellix’s Foretify platform delivers the data-automation backbone for this solution. It defines scenario intent, generates test conditions, and automates large-scale simulation runs.

Inverted AI’s DRIVE API provides learned behavior models trained on real-world driving data to control surrounding vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. These models produce reactive, realistic, and diverse human-like behaviors that enhance realism and better prepares AV systems for real-world traffic dynamics.

WIDEMOUNT DYNAMICS, BOOTH 63200 Widemount Dynamics has created an AI-driven smart firefighting robot that brings autonomy to emergency response. Equipped with mm-wave radar SLAM, the robot navigates smoke-filled environments without GPS or vision; deep-learning modules classify burning materials in real time, automatically selecting the optimum extinguishing agent; onboard sensors measure flame power in real time, feeding command centers with live data for rapid deployment decisions; and a closed-loop vision actuation system locks onto the fire and suppresses it without human intervention.

NEW & NOTEWORTHY NEW PRODUCTS AT CES 2026

Copilot.cx Introduces Copilot STAR Smart Home Solution BOOTH 52049 Copilot.cx is introducing Copilot STAR, a breakthrough smart-home solution that empowers manufacturers to launch next-generation connected products on any IoT platform with one unified app and framework.

Copilot STAR aims to democratize the Smart Home industry and deliver what has been missing in the consumer IoT world: one app, many platforms, meaning manufacturers can now build smarthome products on multiple IoT tech-stacks and still deliver a single, unified app experience to their customers.

Instead of requiring a separate app for each smarthome device, Copilot STAR enables multiple IoT services to live inside a single consumer-facing app, fully

owned by the brand. This eliminates one of the biggest pain points in smart-home adoption: every device requiring its own app and setup process. With Copilot STAR, lighting, sensors, security devices, thermostats, and appliances can all live in one app environment regardless of which IoT platform powers them.

“Smart-home technology has accelerated, but fragmentation continues to limit growth,” said Zvi Frank, Copilot. cx CEO. “Copilot STAR is designed to simplify complexity, making it easier for manufacturers to develop products, easier for retailers to merchandise smarthome categories, and easier for consumers to control connected devices in their homes. Our mission is simple: democratize the smart home.”

NTCE, Sonatus Partnership to Deliver AI Tools for Vehicle Development BOOTH 5439 Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE) and U.S.-based vehicle software innovator Sonatus are teaming up in a development partnership to accelerate the vehicle development process. By integrating advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, the collaboration aims to deliver faster, smarter, and more efficient engineering workflows for Nissan’s future lineup.

Using a bespoke vehicle data collection tool, engineers from NTCE in Cranfield, UK, will use Sonatus Collector AI and Sonatus AI Technician to analyze real-time and historical vehicle data.

Harvesting information from sensors, electronic control units (ECUs), and onboard diagnostics tools, the AI tool will automatically detect irregularities, potential failures, and operational inefficiencies. Using this model, engineers can provide

actionable insights and timely alerts to speed up decision making.

While the tool is still under development, early trials at NTCE indicate significant improvements in troubleshooting efficiency, reducing reliance on physical test vehicles and cutting investigation time from two weeks to just two days. This milestone supports Nissan’s global recovery plan, RE:Nissan, which emphasizes innovation through a digital-first approach, leveraging simulation, advanced testing, and smart data to reduce overall development time.

Displace Showcases, Demos New AI-native TV

BOOTH 21626 Following its successful CES 2025 appearance, Displace, which claims to be the creator of the world’s first wireless television, is returning to CES 2026 to showcase its new products, including Pro TV 2, the first AI-native TV, and conduct live demos of its AI features, signaling that the future of TV goes beyond passive entertainment.

Pro TV 2 arrives as the demand for TVs to do more, including function like phones, increases. Consumers want more interactive TV experiences, such as direct purchasing opportunities, highly personalized content and productivity tools, and Pro TV 2 delivers, with powerful, privacy-first, multimodal intelligence directly on the wall. This innovative product’s dedicated native NPUs and TPUs enable local AI processing for voice and gesture control, personalized content using computer vision and fine-tuned local models. Coupled with the OS 2.0, the system transforms the TV from a passive display into an intelligent, ambient computing hub.

Privacy is one of consumers’ biggest AI pain points, with 84 percent being concerned about their data going public. Many AI features require users to connect their personal accounts to AI products and services or store their data in the cloud, which deters adoption. But with Pro TV 2’s local NPUs and TPUs and Displace’s proprietary browser-based OS architecture, sensitive personal information stays on the device, giving users personalized intelligence without sacrificing privacy.

The Pro TV 2 is available for purchase during CES.
