Chinese humanoid firm UniX AI to showcase mass-produced robots at CES 2026
The robotics firm is set to demonstrate its Wanda series of humanoid robots at the CES tech show in Las Vegas, marking a pivot toward global commercial deployment for the Chinese manufacturer.
The Shanghai-based company will present its Wanda 2.0 and 3.0 models at the Las Vegas Convention Centre (LVCC) from January 6, highlighting machines that are already in mass production rather than purely experimental prototypes.
UniX AI confirmed that it has established a stable production capacity of 100 units per month, following the successful commercial validation of the hardware in real-world scenarios throughout 2025.
At the event, the company will host three interactive zones designed to simulate everyday environments. Visitors will be able to order a zero-alcohol cocktail via an app, which will be prepared and served by the Wanda 2.0 robot.
The demonstration will also extend to household and hospitality tasks. In a dedicated household zone, the robots will perform chores such as making tea, washing dishes, and organizing clothes. A hotel room simulation will show the machines making beds, wiping surfaces, and replenishing room amenities.
The Wanda 2.0 model is equipped with 23 high-degree-of-freedom (DoF) joints and features what the company describes as the world’s first mass-produced 8-DoF bionic arm. This hardware, combined with adaptive intelligent grippers, allows the robot to handle delicate objects and navigate tight, complex spaces.
Fengyu Yang, founder and chief executive of UniX AI, said: “Chinese embodied intelligence companies are no longer merely providers of cost advantages, but have evolved into entities capable of exporting mature products and application models to global markets.”
