Tuya and Robopoet Unveil the Next-Gen AI Companion Fuzozo at CES 2026
As we move into 2026, consumer technology is undergoing a transformative shift where emotional value combined with artificial intelligence emerges as a key driver of growth. The CES (Consumer Electronics Show) is set to be the stage for this revolution, as Tuya Smart collaborates with Robopoet to introduce their latest innovation—the Fuzozo, an AI-powered emotional companion that promises to redefine personal connectivity.
The trend of AI companions has exploded in popularity, with such products flying off shelves worldwide. The surge of interest in these technologies signifies the rise of the so-called 'emotional economy.' Over the past year, many AI companion devices sold out rapidly, with some even reselling at prices well above their original cost. Yet, despite this success, a significant drawback has been identified: contemporary AI companions lack mobility, tethered by their dependency on Wi-Fi connections, severely limiting their effectiveness especially when users venture outside their homes or travel overseas.
Tuya and Robopoet aim to change that with the introduction of the cellular-enabled Fuzozo. This innovative device will debut at CES 2026, allowing users to maintain an emotional connection with their AI companions, regardless of Wi-Fi availability. Joe Sun, CEO of Robopoet, articulated the significance of this partnership, stating, "With Tuya's powerful cloud services facilitating stable emotional connections globally, we can focus on elevating the core experience of emotional interaction for users everywhere."
Why Fuzozo Represents the Next Generation of AI Companions
Fuzozo is engineered to enhance user experience in three distinct ways:
1. Freedom of Use
The built-in cellular technology liberates the Fuzozo from conventional indoor limitations. Whether users are commuting to work, hiking in nature, or traveling internationally, they can enjoy uninterrupted emotional interactions with their companion.
2. Better Experience
The incorporation of cellular connectivity does wonders for latency issues, ensuring conversations and emotional feedback are not only smoother but also maintain the natural flow of dialogue—eliminating any frustrating lags.
3. A New Category
No longer just a 'toy for home,' Fuzozo aspires to become a true partner for users on-the-go, competing closely with devices like smartwatches and earbuds for your attention during your daily life away from screens.
At CES 2026, Tuya Smart and Robopoet will provide attendees with an exclusive firsthand experience of the Fuzozo,
featuring not only its unique capabilities but also highlighting its international multilingual functionality, designed to enhance communications on a global scale. Insights into emerging trends that will dictate the future of AI companions will also be a focal point at the event.
As AI technology continues to foster innovation and creativity in the tech landscape, the unveiling of the Fuzozo at the Las Vegas Convention Center is highly anticipated. Attendees are encouraged to visit Tuya Smart's booth in Central Hall, Booth #16838, to dive deeper into the future of emotional companionship. Exciting updates promise to come, fully aligning with the demand for distinct and responsive AI interactions that can adapt to users' lifestyles. In a world where connectivity is key, Fuzozo could become the essential companion for our increasingly mobile lives.
