CES 2026: Chinese humanoid robots grab spotlight
Chinese robotics developers appeared at CES 2026 with a stronger focus on commercial deployment, highlighting embodied intelligence and real-world applications as companies sought to raise international visibility beyond conceptual demonstrations.
The surge in global artificial intelligence data centers (AIDCs) revealed at CES 2026 highlights a pivotal shift in energy consumption patterns. From autonomous vehicles to smart healthcare, these technologies increasingly depend on robust energy infrastructure, transforming traditional power supply dynamics. The growth of energy storage systems (ESS) now surpasses electric vehicle (EV) batteries, marking a new chapter in the energy transformation landscape.
CyberPower Systems, a Taiwanese maker of uninterruptible power supply systems, said its revenue declined modestly in December 2025 and for the full year 2025, as changes in US tariff policy and customer inventory adjustments weighed on shipments.
Cloud and AI services provider Acer E-Enabling Service Business (AEB) reported December 2025 revenue of NT$1.14 billion (approx. US$36.1 million), representing year-over-year growth of more than 20%.
