CES 2026 Wrap-Up Highlights Shape‑Shifting Screens, Chore and Companion Robots, and AI Pilots

Post-show reporting spotlights adaptable hardware plus physical AI, with many crowd-pleasers still in polished concept or pilot form.

Overview

  • Screen experiments dominated: Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold unfolded to a tablet-sized display and was framed as a showcase device with a roughly $2,500 price rumor, while Lenovo’s refined rollable laptop concepts pushed ‘adaptive screen real estate’ closer to practicality.
  • Dual-screen laptops looked readier for work, with ASUS’s Zenbook Duo using twin 14-inch OLEDs, a detachable keyboard, and a dual-battery design to deliver a seamless portable two-monitor setup.
  • Robotics split between chores and companionship, from LG’s CLOiD attempting laundry folding to Lepro’s Ami, a desk-side AI companion that uses cameras and a curved OLED to create an in-room presence.
  • Industrial AI took a bow as John Deere’s self-driving X9‑1100 combine showcased computer vision and machine learning to adjust speed and offload harvest, with capacity described at over 100 tonnes per hour into a 16,200‑liter tank.
  • Play and education got a tangible upgrade as Lego’s Smart Play system embedded sensors, lights, and sound into standard-looking bricks to react to movement, color, and placement without requiring a screen.
