CES Wrap-Up 2026: The Humanoid Robot Safety Question
Observations from CES 2026 on humanoid robots, current safety strategies, and the gaps that emerge as robots move into shared human environments.
Rapid digitalization within Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) and extensive data transmission between Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) systems create cybersecurity vulnerabilities that can be exploited by potential attackers to cause substantial harm to your organization and your stakeholders. To combat this, the European Commission has adopted frameworks under the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) and EU Cyber Resilience Act, introducing new legal requirements for developers using wireless technologies and products with any software or hardware with remote data processing solutions.
At SecuRESafe, we use a holistic approach based on first principles, to help you proactively embed robust cybersecurity barriers into your product development procedures and also evaluate your suppliers. Our experts will work collaboratively with your team to build a practical compliance framework for ISA/IEC 62443, tailored for your specific needs as well addressing concerns in functional safety.

Observations from CES 2026 on humanoid robots, current safety strategies, and the gaps that emerge as robots move into shared human environments.

This article was written by an SRES functional safety expert and examines why software failures are treated as systematic—not random—under standards such as ISO 26262

As AI-powered engineering tools move deeper into automotive development, teams are asking a new set of questions:
Where do these tools genuinely accelerate engineering workflows? Where do they introduce new risks—errors, hallucinations, or misplaced confidence? And what checks are needed when AI-enabled tools and agents generate artifacts that flow into safety cases?
We’re here to provide the guidance and support you need to navigate the complexities of engineering with responsibility and safety at the forefront.
