Every Robot at CES

2025-01-15

I had the good luck of getting sent to CES with our COO. For my own record, but also hoping it is useful for you, here is a picture and a one-liner for every single robot thing I saw at CES 2025.

Unitree

Unitree Robotics, sold out of all their humanoids and only had their Go to demo.

Pollen Robotics

Pollen Robotics, has the coolest custom Stewart platform actuators.

Realman Robotics

Realman Robotics, if I had a nickel for every time I saw a US company demoing this hardware as their own...

Deep Robotics

Deep Robotics, the other Hangzhou robotics company.

Enchanted Tools

Enchanted Tools, the most compliant mobile base, uses open-source Pollen Robotics' actuators.

Apptronik

Apptronik, so much engineering in there (pretty); hand is from Psyonic.

Ti5 Robot

Ti5 Robot, founded by an undergrad dropout in China – a rare combo.

RobotEra

RobotEra XHand, one of many hands at CES.

Schaeffler

Schaeffler strain wave actuators, you know from the massive CES exhibit these are some expensive actuators.

Agility Robotics

Agility Robotics, was the only biped performing full-body (walking and manipulation) demo at CES.

Galbot

Galbot, a polished, well-thought-out wheeled robot performing a demo for a task already automated by vending machine.

EngineAI

EngineAI, the third time I came back to their booth I saw their robot walk.

ZhaoWei

ZhaoWei, sells robot hands as well as the small actuators inside.

Mandro

Mandro, makes a fully 3D-printed hand, and now also upper torso.

Casbot

Casbot, showed up with a statue of their robot instead of the actual robot (it didn't move).

FingerVision

FingerVision, if these were installed on a full set of hands it would cost more than a full humanoid.

Mi-Mo

Mi-Mo, probably the most viral robot from CES this year.

Booster

Booster, very consistent walking, pushup and get-up demos.

OpenDroids

OpenDroids, directly one level down from Realman's booth.

AI-powered robot chef

Dreame, yes I will count robot arm on vacuum as robot this year.

Retail assistance robot

Richtech robotics, you saw this one pouring coffee on TikTok.

Emage

Emage, full stack from scratch apparently, cool demo, but slightly scary.

Thinker

Thinker, another super expensive finger sensor.

Tesollo

Tesollo, big robot hands, does not seem targeted at use on humanoids but more for robot-arms.

Yukai

Yukai, fluffy. robot. bites. my. finger.

Therapy robot

Not sure who made the robot, but this AI therapy company is advertising using it as an emotional companion.

Cosmo Robotics

Cosmo Robotics, has all the ingredients to build a humanoid robot... reminds me of fourier
