It might be a little early to declare 2026 the year that robots went mainstream but at CES in Las Vegas this week, we’re starting to see signs that the biggest companies in tech are taking robotics more seriously than ever before. Qualcomm kicked off its CES show on Monday morning by announcing a full suite of robotics technologies, designed to power everything from small household robots to full-sized humanoids. It’s calling this full-stack architecture, which integrates hardware, software and AI, the Dragonwing IQ10 Series. To demonstrate what this tech is capable of, Qualcomm has partnered with Vietnamese robotics company Vinmotion on the Motion 2 robot — a general-purpose humanoid. In a video posted to YouTube last week, Vinmotion gave a hint of what the robot was capable of. It showed the Motion 2 punching through a piece of wood, crouching down to pick up a small teddy bear off the floor and bending its back in a way that most people older than 30 could only dream of doing.
