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 Robotics, sold out of all their humanoids and only had their Go to demo.
Pollen Robotics, has the coolest custom Stewart platform actuators.
Realman Robotics, if I had a nickel for every time I saw a US company demoing this hardware as their own...
Deep Robotics, the other Hangzhou robotics company.
Enchanted Tools, the most compliant mobile base, uses open-source Pollen Robotics' actuators.
Apptronik, so much engineering in there (pretty); hand is from Psyonic.
Ti5 Robot, founded by an undergrad dropout in China – a rare combo.
RobotEra XHand, one of many hands at CES.
Schaeffler strain wave actuators, you know from the massive CES exhibit these are some expensive actuators.
Agility Robotics, was the only biped performing full-body (walking and manipulation) demo at CES.
Galbot, a polished, well-thought-out wheeled robot performing a demo for a task already automated by vending machine.
EngineAI, the third time I came back to their booth I saw their robot walk.
ZhaoWei, sells robot hands as well as the small actuators inside.
Mandro, makes a fully 3D-printed hand, and now also upper torso.
Casbot, showed up with a statue of their robot instead of the actual robot (it didn't move).
FingerVision, if these were installed on a full set of hands it would cost more than a full humanoid.
Mi-Mo, probably the most viral robot from CES this year.
Booster, very consistent walking, pushup and get-up demos.
OpenDroids, directly one level down from Realman's booth.
Dreame, yes I will count robot arm on vacuum as robot this year.
Richtech robotics, you saw this one pouring coffee on TikTok.
Emage, full stack from scratch apparently, cool demo, but slightly scary.
Thinker, another super expensive finger sensor.
Tesollo, big robot hands, does not seem targeted at use on humanoids but more for robot-arms.
Yukai, fluffy. robot. bites. my. finger.
Not sure who made the robot, but this AI therapy company is advertising using it as an emotional companion.
Cosmo Robotics, has all the ingredients to build a humanoid robot... reminds me of fourier
