There is no question that 2026 is already set up to be something of a continuance of 2025, at least in the sense of moving deeper into the world of AI, automation, and robotics. As companies deploy AI at scale and industrial robots continue to replace human labor slowly,

Nvidia has used its CES 2026 keynote in Las Vegas to reinforce its dominance in artificial intelligence, announcing a new generation of data-centre hardware, open AI models for autonomous vehicles and expanded robotics technology – but leaving gamers waiting for consumer GPU news.

Nvidia unveiled a full-stack robotics ecosystem at CES 2026, including foundation models, simulation tools, and hardware. It wants to be the default platform for robotics.

Nvidia’s new lineup of open-source AI models is headlined by Alpamayo 1 (pictured), a so-called VLA, or vision-language-action, algorithm with 10 billion parameters. It can use footage from an autonomous vehicle’s cameras to generate driving trajectories.

To drive that momentum forward, Nvidia unveiled new open Nvidia Cosmos and GR00T models during its Las Vegas keynote event on Monday. The company stated that these models are designed to enable developers to allocate less time and resources to pretraining and more to building next-generation robots.
