At the Consumer Electronics Show 2026, held January 6-9 in Las Vegas, artificial intelligence was the undisputed star. Far from being confined to a few futuristic gadgets, the technology now permeates every aspect of our homes, gardens, and lifestyles. Here is a quick review of the most remarkable innovations presented this year.
The smart home becomes autonomous
Robot vacuum cleaners are now rivaling each other in ingenuity to transform maintenance into a phantom task. Eureka stands out with the Z50, displaying 20,000 Pa of suction and a hot water washing station. But the real game-changer comes from Roborock with its Saros Rover prototype, capable of climbing stairs and cleaning each floor without human intervention thanks to its articulated robotic legs.
LG strikes even harder by unveiling CLOiD, a versatile butler equipped with seven degrees of freedom arms capable of folding laundry, managing machines, and even serving breakfast. Powered by generative AI, this companion learns from your habits over time.
The garden and pool automate
Outdoor maintenance is not forgotten. Mammotion returns with its LUBA 3 AWD, an autonomous lawn mower capable of taming slopes of more than 38° and covering your lawn without a perimeter cable. For the pool, the Beatbot AquaSense X revolutionizes cleaning by self-purifying automatically after each cycle.
Audio reinvented by AI
The audio sector has undergone radical transformation. Shokz achieves the technical feat of integrating active noise reduction into open-air conduction headphones, promising bass down to 40 kHz without obstructing the ear canal. Meanwhile, Hisense directly attacks JBL with its range of portable speakers at aggressive prices, while Samsung bets on synergy between televisions and smart connected speakers.
Screens dominate, smarter
Televisions are back in the spotlight with cutting-edge technologies. Samsung showcases its 130-inch R95H equipped with Micro RGB for ultra-fine light management, while LG impresses with its OLED W6 Wallpaper, barely thicker than wallpaper. Televisions now integrate contextual AI assistants capable of displaying live sports statistics or recognizing clothing and objects.
AI in service of health
Withings revolutionizes wellness with its Body Scan 2, a scale capable of evaluating 60 health biomarkers in 90 seconds. Wearables are also enriched: Garmin integrates AI-powered nutritional tracking directly on smartwatches, while Holoswim offers swimmers smart glasses displaying speed and distance in real time.
Chinese tech accelerates the pace
Chinese giants have left their mark on CES 2026. XGIMI diversifies beyond projectors by unveiling MemoMind, its new brand dedicated to AI glasses, with the Memo One equipped with a dual screen and speakers, and the minimalist Memo Air Display. Unitree Robotics and AgiBot dominate the humanoid sector with next-generation robots capable of increasing versatility. Dreame strengthens its dominance in intelligent cleaning with robot vacuums and mops. TCL and Hisense rival each other on high-end televisions, while the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Centre and Booster Robotics present solutions for industrial applications. Lenovo presented rollable screens on laptops.
French innovation shines
CES 2026 also highlighted French solutions. Emoticonnect presents AI capable of predicting human emotions, while Allergen Alert launches a portable mini-laboratory detecting allergens and gluten in minutes. MP Geotex proposes an ecological solution to decontaminate soil without costly excavation.
