The BD-1 droids made quite an impression on stage during Nvidia’s keynote presentation at CES 2026.

Jensen Huang demonstrates Nvidia Cosmo, the system uses physics simulation to create realistic training environments. The dexterous grasping workflow changes aspects like gravity, friction, and the weight of objects, training robots to learn skills even in unpredictable environments. This approach means robots can practice millions of scenarios virtually with realistic physics before ever attempting tasks in the real world, making the learning process both faster and safer.

This personal smart vehicle won CES 2026 Best of Innovation Award.

Strutt, a robotic company based in Singapore, aims to bring personal mobility right up to date with smart technology. This ev¹ combines their evSense technology with a Quad-Drive System to improve safety and comfort. The Co-Pilot mode intelligently detects obstacles to prevent collisions with gently braking, while Waypoints mode can save key places in user's home as designated destinations.
