Tuya Smart and Zeroth Announce Partnership to Equip Home Robots with Coordinated Device Control

Tuya Smart announced a partnership with Zeroth on June 12, 2026, to develop consumer-grade embodied intelligence for home service robots. The companies aim to move robots from isolated task tools to integrated household systems that coordinate with connected devices. Tuya Smart is headquartered in Guangzhou, China, and trades on the NYSE under ticker TUYA and on the HKEX under ticker 2391.

Zeroth was founded in 2024 and is headquartered in Suzhou, China. Its products cover family companionship, multi-scenario interaction, and complex environment exploration. Tuya Smart's Physical AI Engine architecture will power Zeroth's robots.

Zeroth's embodied brain will incorporate Tuya's OmniMem long-term memory engine, allowing robots to adjust behavior based on prior interactions such as a child's preferred games or an elderly family member's routines. Zeroth's robots carry onboard vision, audio, and other embodied sensors.

Integration with Tuya's whole-home sensor matrix, which includes air quality, human presence, and ambient light sensors, is intended to produce real-time sensor fusion and whole-home awareness.

The partnership plans to enable robots to orchestrate lighting, climate control, curtains, security, and energy systems with sub-second response times, including in offline or low-connectivity settings. One described scenario involves a robot coordinating morning lighting, music, and schedule briefings upon a user's wake-up.

As of March 31, 2026, Tuya Smart's AI Developer Platform had more than 1,970,000 registered AI developers from over 200 countries and regions.
