Richtech Robotics announced the launch of its new humanoid robot Dex, set to debut at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026 in Las Vegas from January 6‑9.
Dex is powered by NVIDIA’s Jetson Thor AI supercomputer, enabling real‑time reasoning and a four‑hour battery life, and has been trained in NVIDIA’s Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab simulation environments.
The announcement marks Richtech’s first public introduction of Dex and signals a strategic shift toward a Robotics‑as‑a‑Service (RaaS) model, aiming to generate recurring revenue from service contracts rather than one‑off hardware sales.
Richtech’s move into the humanoid segment positions it against larger rivals such as iRobot and Teradyne, and taps into growing demand for autonomous robots in logistics, hospitality, and healthcare.
While the company has faced negative margins in recent quarters, it maintains a strong cash position that supports its capital‑intensive RaaS transition and ongoing product development.
Analysts view the Dex launch as a key step toward higher‑margin recurring revenue streams, though they note the company must still demonstrate commercial traction to justify the investment.
