At CES 2026, Zeroth Robotics emerged from stealth with its official U.S. launch and a lineup of five interactive AI robots designed for both families and businesses. Leading the portfolio is Zeroth M1, a small humanoid robot for the home that goes beyond entertainment to support everyday care, learning, and household assistance.
M1: The First Zeroth Robot Coming to U.S. Homes
First to launch in the U.S. is M1, Zeroth's flagship home humanoid. Roughly 15" tall and designed to be approachable for all ages, M1 is built to:
- Support independent living for older adults at home with gentle reminders, daily assistance, and light safety awareness.
- Assist busy parents as "second-hand" childcare with reminders, routines, and play.
- Empower creators and robotics enthusiasts to build, customize, and define their first personal robot.
M1 features multi-modal perception, a safety stack, and an app ecosystem, supports built-in skills at launch, and can be updated over time with new behaviors. M1 will be available for pre-order in Q1 2026, starting at $2899, with general availability expected in April 2026.
In addition to M1, Zeroth is revealing:
Zeroth's Technology DNA
Beyond its first product, M1, Zeroth is building a multi-robot future on what it calls its Technology DNA – a unified stack that will power all forthcoming consumer and commercial robots. This foundation consists of three core pillars: advanced motion control, an evolving interaction model, and proprietary actuator engineering. Together, these capabilities enable more natural movement, more personalized user interaction, and more compact, high-performance robot designs across future products. While M1 marks Zeroth's first step into U.S. homes, this technology stack will underpin the full lineup as the company expands into increasingly capable robots for families, developers, and organizations.
