# Franka @ CES 2026: Powering the Future of Embodied AI

 Published by [Özlem Odeh](https://franka.de/news/author/özlem-odeh) on  6.1.2026

CES 2026 kicks off **today in Las Vegas**, and Franka Robotics is right at the heart of it. From **6–9 January**, we’re showcasing how the Franka platform is accelerating robotics learning and enabling large-scale, real-world data collection for embodied AI — all live at **CES 2026**.

 

**Find us at the NVIDIA, Fontainebleau, CES Foundry, Level 4, Cobalt Foyer**

 

**Enabling Robotics Learning at Scale**

At CES 2026, Franka Robotics demonstrates how a tightly integrated hardware, software, and AI stack can unlock faster experimentation, better data, and smoother deployment — from research labs to production-ready systems.

 

 

What's NEW at CES?

 

**Mobile FR3 Duo: The Reference Platform for Embodied AI**

 

The centerpieces at our stand is **Mobile** **FR3 Duo**. Designed as a dual-arm reference platform for embodied AI, FR3 Duo supports the complete spectrum of robotics learning activities:

 

- Teleoperated demonstrations
- Real-world, high-quality data collection
- Onboard model deployment
- Local, real-time inference

Combined with a growing ecosystem of accessories, Mobile FR3 Duo gives the robotics learning community a single platform to go from idea to intelligent behavior — faster and with less friction.

 

**Live Demo: AI Policy on FR3 Duo with NVIDIA® GR00T**

 

At CES, we’re showing what happens when cutting-edge AI models meet real robotic hardware.

We demonstrate how the NVIDIA GR00T N1.6 model powers AI-driven tasks on FR3 Duo.

No task scripting is required – the policy runs end-to-end fully onboard, handling the entire process from perception to motion.

 

**NVIDIA GR00T N1.6**

 

CES 2026 marks the first public demonstration of **NVIDIA GR00T N1.6**.

GR00T N1.6 represents a significant upgrade over GR00T N1.5, with improvements in both model architecture and data leading to better performance in many aspects. Its first public demonstration is taking place at CES.

 

**FR3 & FR3 Duo USD Files — Now Available!**

 

To support simulation-first development and benchmarking, we’re announcing the availability of USD files for FR3 and FR3 Duo, optimized for **NVIDIA Isaac Sim**.

These assets enable:

- Accurate physics-based simulation
- Reproducible benchmarking
- Faster AI development and validation

You can access them via our resource pages at **franka.de/resources**. 

 

**Large-Scale Data Collection Services for Embodied Intelligence**

 

Beyond hardware and simulation, Franka Robotics also offers **AI data collection services** for teams developing embodied intelligence.

Using large-scale robot farms, we collect high-quality physical interaction data, tailored to your needs:

 

- Thousands of episodes for foundation model training
- Targeted datasets for fine-tuning and validation

 

Structured, reliable, and ready to accelerate your AI development.

If you’re building, training, or scaling intelligent robots, this is where theory meets reality.
