Tuya Smart and robotics‑AI developer Robopoet announced a partnership to develop and launch Fuzozo, a cellular‑enabled AI emotional companion that will debut at CES 2026. The collaboration extends AI companionship beyond indoor environments by embedding a built‑in cellular module, allowing users to interact with the device while traveling or outdoors.
Fuzozo leverages a multi‑modal large model for emotional perception and an EchoChain biomimetic memory system that supports natural dialogue, personality development, and a mood‑diary feature. The device’s cellular connectivity ensures continuous interaction without Wi‑Fi, addressing a key limitation of existing home‑based AI toys.
The partnership aligns with Tuya’s recent shift toward AI‑enabled consumer products. After reporting Q3 2025 revenue of $82.5 million and a net profit of $15 million, the company has demonstrated the financial strength to invest in new verticals. The move also expands Tuya’s developer ecosystem, which now hosts 1.62 million registered developers and 12,000 AI agents.
The AI companion market is growing as consumers seek emotional engagement from devices. While competitors such as Agora Inc. have introduced similar products, Fuzozo’s cellular capability and integration with Tuya’s cloud platform give it a distinct advantage. Market analysts note that the emotional‑AI segment could reach multi‑billion‑dollar valuations in the next five years.
Fuzozo is slated for a CES 2026 launch, where Tuya plans to showcase its broader AI strategy. The partnership signals Tuya’s intent to diversify beyond connectivity services and position itself as a key player in the emerging AI companion space.
