Advances in robotics and AI have made robots smarter and more capable than ever. The question is whether they’re now capable enough of doing our chores. We already have robots that vacuum our floors and mow our lawns — but there’s one job they haven’t mastered: laundry. The Verge decided to try and put these promises to the test on the show floor to see if these robots are really as capable as they claim, or if the future of smart home robotics actually lies in the smaller, single-purpose machines. #CES #Robots #CES2026
