[News] China to Showcase Humanoid Robots at CES 2026, Led by Unitree and AgiBot; AR Glasses Also in Focus

With CES 2026 approaching, China’s technology firms are preparing to unveil their latest products. According to South China Morning Post, nearly a dozen prominent Chinese humanoid robot makers—including Unitree Robotics, AgiBot, Galbot, Engine AI, Noetix Robotics, and the state-backed X-Humanoid—are expected to showcase their offerings at the annual consumer electronics trade show in Las Vegas.

China’s Humanoid Robotics Expected to Take the CES Spotlight

Among them, Unitree stands out as a key name to watch. According to qqtech, at CES 2025, Unitree’s robot dogs and humanoid robots drew attention through real-time interaction. In 2026, the company is set to roll out the more powerful Unitree H1 humanoid robot, offering 360-degree panoramic perception and a 15-kilogram payload—capabilities sufficient for industrial inspection. More importantly, Unitree is advancing a Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) model, exporting full-plant automation solutions overseas.

In addition, qqtech also notes that AgiBot will, for the first time, present its full product lineup at the event. Founded just two years ago, the company has already achieved commercial deployment with its Raise A1 robot, which has been rolled out across applications such as 3C manufacturing and automotive assembly.

X-Humanoid, also known as the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, will showcase its Tiangong general-purpose humanoid robot platform. Its goal is to help set industry standards and build an open-source technology ecosystem. As indicated by qqtech, the Tiangong platform will demonstrate cross-scenario transfer learning at CES, enabling the same model to operate across environments—such as factories, shopping malls, and homes—without retraining.

These firms are set to compete for attention at the show alongside other major proponents of humanoid robotics, including Boston Dynamics, the Massachusetts-based robotics pioneer now owned by South Korean automaker Hyundai, South China Morning Post notes. The report adds that Boston Dynamics has said its new Atlas humanoid robot will make its public debut at CES.

From AR Glasses to AI PCs: China’s Expanding Presence at CES

Beyond humanoid robotics, South China Morning Post reports that CES 2026 will also spotlight Chinese AR smart-glasses makers showcasing their latest products. The lineup is set to include Rokid, Even Realities, and XReal—the Chinese startup behind Google’s first Android XR–powered augmented-reality glasses.

The AI transformation of China’s traditional industry leaders is also set to be a major highlight at CES. Lenovo Group, the Chinese personal computer giant, has sharpened its AI push through its “Hybrid AI” strategy and will bring its largest-ever annual Tech World event to CES 2026, South China Morning Post notes.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong is expected to send its largest-ever delegation to the event—comprising 60 local technology companies, South China Morning Post adds.
