Tuya and Robopoet Unveil Cellular AI Companion at CES 2026
At CES 2026, Tuya Smart, a global AI cloud platform service provider, announces a strategic partnership with Robopoet to develop the world's first AI companion that runs on cellular connectivity. This milestone signals a fundamental shift in AI emotional companionship, moving beyond fixed indoor use into fully mobile, always-connected experiences.
The global "emotional economy" is moving quickly from concept to reality, now driving a new wave of innovation in emotional companionship. The Business Research Company reports that the global AI companion market reached about US$18.35 billion in 2025, and it expects strong growth in the years ahead.
Tuya and Robopoet want to make AI companions truly "Always by Your Side" by solving a persistent issue: connectivity. When users leave home, especially when they travel abroad, AI companions that rely on Wi-Fi often enter an "emotional offline" state.
Tuya and Robopoet tackle that limitation through this collaboration. They integrate cellular network capabilities, enabling Fuzozo to operate without physical constraints. Users can now maintain real-time, always-on emotional companionship during daily commutes, outdoor exploration, and cross-continental travel.
This advance completes the shift from "indoor, fixed-point interaction" to "full-scenario mobility" and enables seamless, immersive, two-way emotional engagement anytime, anywhere.
This partnership combines Robopoet's expertise in emotionally intelligent AI with Tuya's strength in building global AI ecosystems. Tuya's AI Developer Platform standardises and modularises global device connectivity, data communication, and operations management, enabling the Robopoet team to focus on core AI capabilities and emotional content. That focus helps the team accelerate Fuzozo's evolution from a product into a living, responsive AI companion.
Tuya also provides a globally distributed cloud infrastructure that delivers consistent, stable, high-quality experiences worldwide. That scale helps Robopoet deliver premium emotional companionship services efficiently across global markets.
Tuya and Robopoet also treat this launch as the start of deeper ecosystem collaboration, not just a product upgrade. They plan to move beyond simple hardware to cloud integration and jointly explore next-generation intelligent agents through cloud, edge and device collaboration.
At the Tuya booth at CES 2026, Fuzozo represents the future of AI emotional technology. It offers a warm, responsive AI companion that avoids downtime and removes boundaries, turning that promise into reality.
