Qualcomm has just announced a full suite of robotics technologies at CES 2026 . The company says that its general-purpose robotics architecture “delivers industry-leading power efficiency, and scalability, enabling capabilities from personal service robots to next generation industrial autonomous mobile robots and full-size humanoids that can reason, adapt, and decide.”
The Dragonwing IQ10 series chip for robots has been announced
The company announced its latest high-performance robotics processor for industrial autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and advanced full-size humanoids. The name of that chip is the Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ10 series.
Qualcomm says that it delivers high-performance, energy-efficient “Brain of the Robot” capabilities. “As pioneers in energy-efficient, high–performance Physical AI systems, we know what it takes to make even the most complex robotics systems perform reliably, safely, and at scale,” said Nakul Duggal, EVP and Group General Manager, Automotive, Industrial & Embedded IoT and Robotics, Qualcomm Technologies.
Qualcomm emphasized that its Qualcomm Dragonwing processors power an assortment of general-purpose robotics form factors. That includes industry-leading humanoid robots from Booster, VinMotion, and others.
Advanced perception and motion planning with end-to-end AI models is supported
The company also said that the architecture supports advanced perception, motion planning with end-to-end AI models such as VLAs and VLMs, which enable generalized manipulation capabilities and human-robot interaction.
The all-new Dragonwing IQ10 will help Qualcomm take a significant step forward “toward practical, real-world deployment across industrial applications.” Well, at least Qualcomm thinks so.
Qualcomm also added that the Dragonwing IQ10 “redefines what’s possible in robotics by combining powerful heterogeneous edge computing, edge AI, mixed-criticality systems, software, machine learning operations, and an AI data flywheel, supported by a growing partner ecosystem and complemented by a strong suite of developer tools.”
You can check out the VinMotion Motion 2 humanoid robot at CES 2026
VinMotion’s Motion 2 humanoid robot, which is powered by the Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ9 chip, will debut at the Qualcomm Booth #5001 during CES. You can check it out in case you’re around.
Qualcomm and VinMotion will also be collaborating to build next-gen hardware-software platforms for robotics solutions, that include advanced humanoids.
