CES 2026 recap: From emerging technologies to real-world systems

This year’s CES show once again set the stage for what’s next in technology, and for our Syntronic North American team on the ground in Las Vegas, the message was clear: innovation is accelerating, and execution matters more than ever. 

Across the show floor, we saw rapid advances in AI, connectivity, advanced computing, and next-generation systems. But more importantly, we saw how these technologies are converging across Robotics, Automotive, and IoT, pushing products out of the lab and into real-world deployment. 

At Syntronic, this is where we thrive – helping customers turn bold ideas into reliable, production-ready systems. 

Robotics: From design to deployment 

Robotics innovation has shifted decisively toward autonomy, perception, and real-world robustness. Whether in industrial automation, service robotics, or mobile platforms, AI at the edge is now a requirement, not a nice-to-have. 

Syntronic supports robotics companies by providing core engineering across AI, hardware, embedded systems, and software, enabling capabilities such as autonomous navigation, predictive maintenance, and efficient on-device data processing. We often leverage platforms like NVIDIA Jetson to accelerate development while ensuring systems are scalable, performant, and production-ready. 

Automotive: Software-defined, AI-driven vehicles 

Automotive innovation continues to push forward with software-defined vehicles, in-vehicle AI, and high-performance computing platforms reshaping how vehicles are designed and deployed. 

Syntronic brings deep expertise in autonomous functions, connected services, power electronics, and advanced R&D and testing. By leveraging skills in embedded systems, data science, and AUTOSAR, we help customers develop safer, more efficient, and future-ready automotive solutions – from concept through industrialization. 

IoT: Smarter, more connected edge systems 

IoT is evolving toward intelligent, secure, and scalable edge solutions. At CES, the focus was clear: AI inference at the edge, seamless connectivity, and full lifecycle management are now central to delivering customer value. 

Syntronic supports this shift with strong expertise in engineering, development, and system integration, with a particular focus on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), helping customers design systems that are robust, secure, and built to scale. 

Turning CES innovation into reality 

Across robotics, automotive, and IoT, Syntronic helps clients capitalize on today’s trends by: 

• Bringing hands-on experience with AI-powered systems, including NVIDIA technology and advanced AI chipsets 

• Supporting the full product lifecycle: system architecture, hardware and software design, AI integration, verification, and industrialization 

• Helping customers move faster from concept to production, while meeting performance, safety, and scalability requirements 

If you’re exploring how to leverage engineering, new product introduction, R&D, manufacturing, AI, edge computing, or next-generation platforms in your next product, we’d love to connect.
