Zeroth Robotics made its debut at CES 2026 with a substantial lineup and a straightforward value proposition. If you’re trying to keep track of the Zeroth M1 home robot without getting sidetracked by flashy concepts, note that M1 is the only model with confirmed pricing and release details.
The M1 stands about 15 inches tall and is designed as a humanoid robot for everyday activities. It aims to provide reminders and light assistance primarily for older adults living at home, support parents managing schedules and playtime, and offers a platform for creators interested in customizing their robots over time.
Zeroth anticipates US preorders for the M1 will open in the first quarter of 2026, starting at $2,899, with the product widely available by April 2026.
What Zeroth Showcased at CES
At the event, the company demonstrated the M1 along with the W1, a wheel-based assistant intended for residential and light commercial environments. The other three robots were presented as previews of concepts and capabilities still in development.
This distinction is important since Zeroth is unveiling five different robots at the same time. The M1 is the only model with a confirmed preorder window, while the W1 offers a closer look at a potential future commercial product.
A Five-Robot Lineup, with One Clear Launch Target
Among the showcased robots, the W1 resembles Wall-E and is described as an expressive, programmable companion intended for families, classrooms, and engaging public spaces like theme parks and retail locations. It’s familiar and charming, likely to attract camera attention. However, it’s not yet available for purchase in the U.S.

In addition to these, Zeroth introduced A1, a quadruped robot aimed at universities, researchers, and engineers, and Jupiter, a large humanoid robot designed for real-world tasks that combines autonomous movement with remote control. Samsung has also been exploring similar autonomous mobility robots, demonstrating what robotic independence looks like in action.
What to Watch Before April
Zeroth claims that the M1 can evolve after launch through software updates and added features. The key questions are how much the robot can do right out of the box and how transparently the company will communicate its safety protocols and operational boundaries as preorders begin.
While consumer robotics tend to be conservative in capabilities, these early demonstrations give a glimpse into what the future might hold—flaws and all.
