CES 2026 Edition: Look But Please Touch

The January 2026 edition of All Things Haptics

Dear Haptics Insider,

CES wrapped earlier this month. Looking back, there was a lot of haptics tech on show, but it wasn’t concentrated in one place. It was the kind of tech you had to walk hall to hall to test out.

The Consumer Technology Association, the organizer behind CES, even released its own short video this year to define what “haptics” is and highlight examples from the show floor.

Below is a categorized snapshot of where haptics showed up across the show. Let’s jump in.

Robotics & Industrial Haptics
