The best robots at CES 2025

They can shoot a piece of candy, flip it, grab it, and lazily tap it into your waiting palm. Best robots Consumer Electronics Show 2025 It shows no revolution in mobility, at least compared to 2024. Instead, the robots at this year’s CES — whether The best or Stranger-He seemed to be focused on acting cool in front of the camera.

The best robots at CES last year It brought us human models like Unitree’s H1 with no face and Mirokai from Enchanted Tool with probably a lot of face. The same robotics companies showed up at this year’s show with slightly improved models and, of course, the addition of AI-powered chatbots. Smaller players haven’t been alone in adding AI to bots. Samsung and TCL have drawn crowds with their vision-packed home robots and text-based AI models.

Yokai Engineering Merumi

Why do you want a robot in your life? Well, because he’s so cute, that’s why. Yukai Engineering’s Meromi is a little hairy robot that sits in your pocket and stares at the people around it. It doesn’t do anything else but stare, and the only sensors it uses help it recognize people around it. You place her arms the way you want to have a real surprise Elf of a Shelf moment when people walk into your bedroom. Since all the bots on this list suggest that you need an AI-powered machine in your home to ask questions, Meromi wants to seem cool. And in this way he succeeds.

Metabet Nono

People still enjoy Tombot’s Jennie Labrador and similar mysterious robots. However, why don’t we have more robotic animals roaming our homes? Metapet showed off its Noono AI robotic hamster at CES 2025. It ignored the big glowing light streaming from its noses. When you pet her, she reacts by arching her back. When it needs to recharge, you can put it in its own carrier-style basket.

Samsung Bali

Ballie was one of the stars of CES 2024, but in 2025, it’s receiving some upgrades. Through an improved AI model, the spherical robot can now provide more specific answers to users’ questions. The bot should also provide faster response times, which was important for the demo where Samsung representatives asked Ballie to recommend some wine options. The rolling robot still has its own display that allows users to interact with it, though it may be too slow for most users who expect instant gratification. Before you ask, Samsung has not revealed anything about the potential release date nor any additional information about possible pricing.

TCL Amy

TCL’s concept robot was very similar to Samsung’s Ballie robot except for a cute baby animal-like head. AiMe includes three “cores” filled with different AI models. Flipping the motor allows it to rotate, including the speakers. Baby Core includes more AI functionality, allowing it to use AI vision and speech to interact with users. There’s a final “Mini Core” that can be detached and act as an AI connection on the go. The demos TCL used to showcase AiMe at CES didn’t give us much of a sense of its full capabilities. Instead, we watched a little robot roll, blink and give us a taste of a future where cute robots take over.

Galbot store robot

Nvidia’s presentation at CES included a slew of demos of its new GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards. However, the company also offered Galbot some space, using… Chipmaker data set For manual robots. To demonstrate these abilities, Galbot had the robot roll over to a shelf full of candy and drinks, stabilize it with its serrated claws, and then very slowly drop the treat into the person’s hand. Were they able to keep their free snacks? No, of course not.

Unitree Go2 Robot Dog

Unitree showed off its two-legged G1 model at CES, though the robot remained motionless during our visit to the robotics company’s booth. Other reporters reported that G1 was prone to running at full speed in front of the audience just because the person in control pressed the wrong button at the wrong time. Instead, Unitree enlisted its own four-legged dog robot, Go 2, to perform tricks for us. The robot dog can walk on two legs, walk on its hind legs, and do somersaults with a simple command. The Go 2 has a wide-area 4D LiDAR sensor to monitor its environment. Better yet, you can purchase a small robotic dog starting at $1,600. Compare that to Boston Dynamics’ similar robotic dog Spot, which can cost around $74,500, and the Go2 seems more manageable.

My reward mi mo

Imagine if Pixar’s lamp mascot grew spidery legs and moved toward you on wobbly limbs. Jzai’s Mi-Mo is a six-legged table with a lamp attached to it, but despite any initial fear, the robot is polite enough to wave its arm at the CES-goers surrounding it. Mi-Mo uses multiple AI vision models to attempt to interact with its environment, though it is still relatively limited in what it can do. Its current design is not as fast as other crab tables Carpentopod design last yearalthough perhaps if these tables remained polite, I could enjoy having one prop around my house.

Roborock Saros Z70

Robovacs don’t typically attract as much excitement from the robotics crowd as they once did, but you add an arm to one, and suddenly, a device like the Roborock Saros Z70 looks new. The Z70’s “Omnigrip” arm component is supposed to track and catch any rogue socks on your carpet. It’s not fast, but if you or your kids are too lazy to bend down and pick up the trash from the floor, the Saros Z70 will do it for you.
