CES 2027 exhibits are open January 6–9, 2027, in Las Vegas. Media days come first, on January 4–5 at Mandalay Bay. If you are going for robots, humanoids and physical AI, plan around the Las Vegas Convention Center’s North Hall, which CES lists for physical AI, robotics and automation, and the Venetian campus, where CES runs a second physical AI tour. CES is a trade event: you need to meet the industry registration rules to get a badge.

Where the robots and physical AI exhibits are
CES says the 2027 show uses 12 official venues and more than 2.5 million net square feet, grouped into three campuses: LVCC, Venetian and C Space (Maps and Locations). The CES show floor tours page describes what each LVCC hall covers:
- LVCC North Hall: enterprise innovation, physical AI, robotics, automation and intelligent infrastructure. This is the main stop for industrial robots, humanoids, sensors and edge AI hardware.
- LVCC West Hall: mobility, autonomous systems and smart cities. Self-driving vehicles, robotaxi tech and autonomy suppliers are usually here.
- LVCC Central Hall: major consumer brands and entertainment tech. Large electronics companies often show home and companion robots on their own stands.
- Venetian campus: CES runs a separate “Next Wave of Physical AI” tour here, and the Venetian Expo also hosts Eureka Park, the startup area where many small robotics companies exhibit.
Use the campus PDFs on the Maps and Locations page to see which product categories sit in each hall, and filter the CES exhibitor directory by robotics once the 2027 floor plan fills in. Booth assignments can change up to the show, so check booth numbers in the week before you fly.
Guided physical AI tours
CES offers themed show floor tours presented by StoryTech. Two of them focus on robotics: “The Next Wave of Physical AI: LVCC” in North Hall and “The Next Wave of Physical AI: Venetian.” Each runs 1.5 hours and covers robotics, humanoids, sensors and edge computing. A related “Autonomous World” tour covers autonomous systems. CES says tour capacity is limited and recommends booking ahead. Groups can also book private or custom tours; custom tours start at $25,000 according to the tours page.
Robotics sessions and conference passes
The conference program includes a Robotics track alongside the AI track. Which sessions you can enter depends on your pass. Our guide to CES eligibility, registration and pass choices explains who can register, what documents you need and what Standard and Premium passes include.
Getting around Las Vegas during CES
North Hall and the Venetian are on different campuses, so a robotics-focused day means moving between them. Our CES hotel and transport guide covers where to stay, the Vegas Loop and shuttle options between the LVCC and the Venetian.
What to check before you go
- Register under the right category and get your badge confirmed. CES is not open to the general public, and you must be 18 or older.
- Pick your days from the hours above. If you want press conferences, January 6 and 7 are the days they run on the show floor.
- Book a physical AI tour early if you want one.
- Shortlist robotics exhibitors in the directory and note hall and booth numbers.
- Recheck booth numbers in early January.
CES is one of several robotics shows in the first half of 2027. ICRA 2027 runs in Seoul in May; see our ICRA 2027 dates and registration guide.
