CES 2026 Recap: A Historic Debut for Ascentiz in Las Vegas

The lights have dimmed at the Venetian Expo, and CES 2026 has officially come to a close. But for the Ascentiz team, the energy from the past four days is only just beginning.

Our first appearance at CES was more than a milestone—it was a defining moment. As we packed up Booth #56536, we reflected on a week filled with first steps, real-world testing, and conversations that will shape the future of Ascentiz.

Here's a look back at what made CES 2026 unforgettable.

Exciting"First Steps"—On the Show Floor and in the Real World

The heart of our booth was the Live Trial Zone, where visitors could experience Ascentiz for themselves. But we didn't limit testing to the expo hall.

We took Ascentiz into the streets of Las Vegas, running hands-on trials with people from all walks of life—office professionals, camera crews, hikers, and active seniors. These real-world scenarios helped us see how the exoskeleton performs where it truly matters.

The response was immediate and consistent. Many users were surprised by how natural the movement felt once the AI assistance kicked in. Whether someone needed extra support for trails or joint relief while walking, the smiles said it all. Every piece of Every insight and suggestion we gathered is already helping us refine the product even further.

Meeting Our Backers, Face to Face

One of the most meaningful moments of CES was meeting our early backers in person. Many traveled to Las Vegas specifically to try Ascentiz before receiving their own units.

Seeing their excitement as they tested the final production version reminded us why we started this journey. Their hands-on feedback confirmed that the design, comfort, and performance were worth the wait—and gave our team an extra boost of motivation.

Listening, Learning, and Improving

CES 2026 was also about listening. During our "Ask the Experts" sessions, our CEO and Co-Founders spent hours speaking directly with users and industry professionals.

These conversations brought valuable insights, from requests for additional exercise modes for older users to suggestions for easier strap adjustments. This kind of feedback doesn't just validate our work—it helps guide what we build next.

Global Media Attention and Industry Recognition

Ascentiz drew strong interest from media around the world. We were featured by Tom's Guide, Yahoo Tech, TechRadar, and Res Tech Today, all highlighting our modular approach to wearable robotics.

The highlight came when Android Police named Ascentiz one of the "Best of CES 2026." Their editors emphasized our modular system, noting that the ability to switch between Hip and Knee modules for different activities sets Ascentiz apart.

As Android Police editor Timi Cantisano put it:

The powered exoskeleton is an assistive tool that can lighten your load or give you a boost when traveling on foot. The goal is to reduce stress on the body—and that can be vital.

This recognition reinforces what we believe: exoskeletons are the future of human mobility.
