TomO 2.0 Debuts at CES 2026
Las Vegas, USA – 6th to 9th January 2026 – CES 2026 has officially set a new record as the largest post-pandemic tech gathering, welcoming more than 148,000 attendees and over 4,100 exhibitors. As the global stage for "Physical AI," this year’s event moved beyond theoretical innovation to the practical deployment of intelligent systems in the real world.
This year, Emage Group proudly showcased its next-generation AI-driven industrial robot, TomO, under the Enterprise Singapore booth, demonstrating the power of Artificial Automation Intelligence in reshaping industries.
Under the Enterprise Singapore pavilion, Emage Group unveiled the next evolution of its robotics platform: TomO 2.0 (Tomorrow’s Operator).
Hardware Evolution: The 7-Jointed Breakthrough
The leap from the 2025 prototype to TomO 2.0 is defined by a radical hardware overhaul designed for human-equivalent versatility.
7-Jointed Arms: Upgrading from the previous 6-jointed configuration, TomO 2.0 now features 7-jointed arms. This added degree of freedom allows the robot to bypass obstacles and operate in confined industrial spaces with a range of motion that mirrors a human worker.
Gen-7 Dexterous Hands: The new hands integrate finer motor skills and high-resolution tactile sensors, enabling the robot to manipulate delicate objects with sub-millimeter precision—a necessity for modern semiconductor and medical manufacturing.
A Masterclass in Precision: The CNA-Featured Performance
Captured by CNA and global media outlets, TomO 2.0’s live demonstrations at the Singapore Pavilion became a viral highlight of the show.
The Piano Performance: Demonstrating its enhanced dexterity, TomO 2.0 performed a wider range of dexterity compared to last year's performance with its smoother independent finger movements and sophisticated pressure control.
Robot Dance Moves: In a bold display of dynamic balance, the humanoid also performed a choreographed dance routine. The performance showcased TomO's ability to maintain equilibrium and fluid motion, proving it can navigate the "unstructured" environments of real-world factories and workplaces.
