IFA 2026 trade fair in Berlin
Overview
The IFA 2026 trade fair in Berlin continues to highlight a major industry shift toward integrating artificial intelligence into physical hardware, moving from theoretical software to ‘intelligent machines’ capable of perceiving and responding to their environments. Rebranded under the theme ‘Innovation for All,’ the 102nd exhibition features approximately 1,900 exhibitors from 49 countries.
LG Electronics, named ‘Best Brand of IFA 2026,’ has further detailed its ‘Zero Labor Home’ vision, which aims to minimize domestic effort through integrated smart technology. Operating under the concept ‘Innovation in tune with you,’ LG showcased the evolution of its AI Home ecosystem via the LG ThinQ platform and the LG ThinQ ON AI home hub. A central feature of this showcase is the ‘LG AI Orchestra,’ a 16-by-4-meter kinetic LED installation where an LG CLOiD unit acts as a conductor to demonstrate the coordination between televisions, climate control solutions, and robotics.
Other manufacturers are expanding into specialized robotics, such as Roborock’s models for home, garden, and pool maintenance. Roborock introduced the RockNeo Q2 LiDAR, a robotic lawnmower, and the RockAqua P1 pool cleaning robot. Additionally, Aiper introduced the Scuba V3 Ultra utilizing ‘Cognitive AI Navium™ Mode.’ The exhibition has also demonstrated a shift toward dedicated personal AI hardware, including OlloBot’s ‘cyber-pet’ OlloNi SS1 and XbotGo’s Falcon, an AI-powered 4K sports camera.
