Robots ruled CES 2026 - Diffusion by Defined.ai - Episode 3 with Daniela Braga

Robots ruled CES 2026. 🤖 From folding laundry to powering industrial operations, Physical AI was no longer a concept. It took center stage. Welcome back to Diffusion, kickstarting the new year with a special edition recorded live at CES, where our very own Founder and CEO, Daniela Braga, PhD, highlighted the trends that stole the show: ➡ Humanoid robots dominated the floor: Domestic helpers folded clothes and loaded dishwashers, while enterprise-grade machines tackled material handling and order fulfillment. ➡ The art of touch became real : Robots demonstrated fine motor skills with advanced haptics and sensors, unlocking safer automation and real utility across homes and factories. ➡ AI companions got creative: From animal-like bots to plant vases that “talk,” emotional and experiential AI found new ways to live alongside us. The takeaway? Physical AI proved it is redefining what machines can do. And if you are building robots, you need data you can trust: ethically sourced, multimodal, and ready for the next wave of embodied intelligence.
