Fordel StudiosCES 2026: Follow live for the best, weirdest, most interesting tech as this robot and AI-heavy event wraps up
What Happened

Our Take
CES noise is always loud. Some of it's real, most of it's vaporware or "AI" slapped on old hardware (looking at you, every WiFi router brand).
The signal: robotics is taking the stage seriously now. Not as a gimmick or research flex, but as actual commercial products. That matters because it means funding, talent, and customer demand are all aligned.
Builders: don't get lost in the spectacle. Identify which robotics platforms are getting traction with enterprise customers—that's where the actual builder opportunity is.
What To Do
Track which 2-3 robotics platforms from CES get announced for commercial deployment in the next 6 months.
