The 14 most amazing robots in the world
Table of Contents
More than just a fair that displays news for the smartphone and smart TV market, there are many robots from CES 2022 that deserve our attention. With 5G networks finally getting more popular and technological development improving, we are getting closer and closer to living in a world where robots will assist us in common day-to-day activities.
Beyond the Boston Dynamics, a famous robotics engineering company, is presenting advances to the world of androids, there are other companies that already offer products with solutions for different everyday situations. Check out this special list of the best robots that were presented at CES 2022.
Hyundai/Boston Dynamics
Responsible for purchasing Boston Dynamics in June of last year, the Hyundai presented the first results of this acquisition during the CES 2022. The company will be inserting robots inside the metaverse so that, in this way, the virtual world becomes still real. One of the examples cited is that you can control robots within the metaverse to pet or even feed your pet.
Another example cited by the company was the video of a father and daughter exploring Mars through the metaverse, with the robot Boston dynamics spot being on the red planet. The company also pointed out that the manufacture of robots by CES 2022 can also be useful for the logistics industry.
Going a step beyond the immersive 'being there' experience of proxy that the metaverse provides, robots will become an extension of our own physical senses, allowing us to reshape and enrich our daily lives.
Chang Song, President of Hyundai Motor Group
Mobility of Things (MoT)
A Boston Dynamics also wants to deliver solutions for mobility and inaugurated the concept of “Mobility of Things” (MoT). In practice, the company wants to create robots so that our daily lives are increasingly complete. The first novelty is due to the PnD modules, wheels that can be fitted to various products, from tables to containers.
The modules have a unit that uses a steering actuator wheel to always rotate, allowing the model to perform 360º rotation. Assertive work is completed by sensors LiDAR and a camera, which gives autonomy to the modules.
With the focus of putting wheels on all products so that the mobility of things is a reality, these modules can be the solution so that, in a short time, we can live with robots being our true assistants, although in a different way than we imagined. .
The use of PnD modules was explained in practice at a company exhibition, with an armchair being carried by the wheels. It is also possible to control with joystick. No prices or exact date were announced for all this to reach the market, but it is known that the technology really exists and is ready to be used.
MobED (Mobile Eccentric Droid)
Closing the news boston dynamiccs na CES 2022, the company also presented a mobility platform that manages to keep the object always centralized, which can be useful when crossing uneven terrain and even at faster speeds.
O MobED measures 60 cm wide by 67 cm long, with a height of 33 cm. With an autonomous battery of 2 kWh, the model weighs 50 kg and appears to be ready to be placed on the mobility market. The tires are 12 inches and the model can also reach a speed of 30 km/h.
humanoid ameca
As one of the most important and terrifying advances at the same time, the humanoid AMEC is certainly one of the most amazing and impressive robots in the world. She first appeared on the internet in 2021 and became famous for being “too real”.
As much as this is really the purpose of its creation. Marking presence in CES 2022, it was possible to see how it works in practice, with expressions that come close to what humans do. Watch the video below and draw your conclusions:
Despite being “standing” during the CES 2022, AMEC still cannot walk, with this being one of the challenges that have not yet been overcome by the manufacturer engineered arts. The model is expected to hit the market at a cost of R$ 745.000. The main focus is to have the robot rented, with the customer only paying for the hours they are using the humanoid. Would you rent this model to help you with any of your daily tasks?
beomni
Developed by beyond imagination, one of the robots CES 2022 that should be most successful is the beomni, created precisely to be a great support in day-to-day tasks. With four wheels that allow rapid locomotion, this humanoid, which can lift 15.88 kg on each of its arms, can be controlled remotely.
Imagine that instead of going to work in the field on a rainy day, just use the beomni to do everything remotely, without even needing any special control clothes. The robot can also be used in other activities such as factory work or simply in the kitchen, as it can make the gesture of taking a pinch of salt and still give that grandma charm.
Another use of beomni is that the robot can be used in medicine as a nurse, since it can be controlled by a professional who is working from afar. Use in space is also a possibility, given that all commands can be done from afar. This is one of the robot options from CES 2022 most likely to drive remote work. And, let's face it, he's quite nice, isn't he?
LG CLOi GuideBot
what do you think of a digital token of information that is walking all over a certain place so you can find yourself without problems? This is the idea of LG CLoui Guide Bot, which, as the name suggests, works as an informative guide. Developed to work autonomously, the model also has a screen touch that can be used as advertising space when no one is using it.
Artificial intelligence in one of the robots of CES 2022 most useful in retail also allows menus and the display of services to be displayed on the screen so that a person can quickly choose what they need. The model also acts as a security for a space due to the “eyes” that can be used to visualize everything that is happening in the place. It can also be used as an order manager.
It is still possible to schedule advertisements according to the place where the LG CLOi GuideBot is passing. Imagine that the model is crossing a food court and people have the habit of going to an ice cream shop right away; the robot will be able to identify the location and start showing ads for your ice cream shop or candy store.
LG CLOi ServeBot
As a waiter who can be the solution that establishments need on busy days, the LG CLOi ServeBot ShelfType can deliver both drinks and other products. The model also has an “assistant” named after ServeBot DrawerType and "can find your own way“, according to the manufacturer. A video explaining a little more about the models was released, watch:
They should hit the market sometime in 2022 and should help restaurant owners to be more productive. The main highlight is the autonomous use of the models, with the integration with the site system taking place in an easy way.
LG delivery robot
Finalizing the robot news from CES 2022 that were presented by LG, the company is also putting a model that can deliver autonomously. This friendly little robot has the shape of a box with wheels and is also equipped with a system that can identify the terrain so that nothing is knocked over.
Developed to work outdoors and indoors, the Door-to-Door Delivery Bot also manages to climb hills without many problems, useful both in capitals and inland cities. The model is ready to hit the market and help establishments make deliveries with greater assertiveness.
Samsung bot-i
If you watched the Jetsons, you certainly felt like having a robot that acts as a real butler and accompanies you on walks around the house. Well, we can say that the Samsung managed to make this wish a reality by developing the bot-i.
The model follows you through every room and also serves as a great companion, as it has autonomy and artificial intelligence to interact with its owner. It's as if the Bixby, personal assistant Samsung, now had legs and eyes to help with various tasks.
If you receive a call on your smartphone, the voice of the person calling is automatically transmitted to the robot. Got a video call? The image of who is trying to reach you will also be displayed on the Bot-i.
Pudu Robotics
As one of the companies that most presented robot models for the CES 2022, Pudu Robotics was present at the technology fair with six products. The most famous of the brand, which bears the name of BellaBot, is focused on making deliveries.
O BellaBot gained a “younger brother” who is called KittyBot, an intelligent robot that has a that can show what the owner prefers, also having a voice that can be used as a marketing tool to promote services and products.
Another novelty is the PuduBot, a delivery robot that has artificial intelligence and autonomy to make its own way. O HelloBot, also developed to carry out deliveries, has a pay and displays notifications sent remotely.
What would a world be like in which robots could use elevators to deliver to the door of hotels and residential apartments? O flashbot manages to have the autonomy to offer an even safer and, of course, problem-free work.
O Pudu Afra C1 was also presented by the company during CES 2022, being a 4-in-1 model that can perform cleaning in various environments.

The company expects the TED can reduce the use of pesticides in vineyards, as well as solve the shortage of labor that is a major problem in this sector.
Carbon Origins
Learn About Skippy, the bet of Carbon Origins for the autonomous delivery market. Also possessing artificial intelligence that allows the machine learning, the system has the skipsters, virtual operators from all over the world that will support all deliveries.
This is the first model of Carbon Origins for the robot market CES 2022, but the company is expected to be successful in this market. You skipsters are responsible for training other robots that deliver food and we hope to see the Skippy making even more deliveries this year.
UBTech
Renowned in the artificial intelligence and robotics market, UBTech introduced three new models during the CES 2022. The first of these is a mobility chair that has no name, but basically it can be explained as a wheelchair that works autonomously and returns to the charging base while not being used.
Another novelty is the robot Assistance to the Caregiver, which has a camera that allows specialists to carry out consultations via telemedicine, without the need for the patient to go to a clinic. The template can also be a companion form, displaying content on your screen.
The third robot option of the CES 2022 presented by UBTech is Powered Walk Assist. This is a humanoid that also works autonomously and, as its name suggests, was developed to be a great walking assistant for people with limited mobility.
In addition to having a visual map to support those who have problems walking, the robot has a biometric tracker that monitors the patient's health.
Labrador Systems
We are not talking about the dog breed, although the model developed by the company is as useful as the presence of a pet. Developed to be a great assistant that works autonomously, this highlight of robots from CES 2022 it is focused on remembering the delivery of objects according to the previous schedule. THE retriever can be considered a smart desk that accompanies you at home.
Its technology can develop 3D maps so that the recognition of the environment is done through augmented reality, with commands that can be done by voice, touch the screen or even an application for smartphones. The main focus of retriever is to deliver a solution for caregivers, communities of seniors and other individuals who need an assistant to get everything right.
A Labrador Systems has support from SOSV/HAX, Amazon Alexa Fund, iRobot e a NNational Science Foundation and its models have been working in homes since February last year. An investment fund of US$ 3,1 million (R$ 17,68 million) was also raised so that more news can be created.
Pedia_Roid Emergency Training Robot
The robots of CES 2022 are being heavily focused on health, with professionals also receiving training products.
