    • Earlier in July 2026, Tuya Smart invested in AI hardware firm Robopoet’s RMB 100 million (about US$14.8 million) pre-A round, deepening their collaboration around Robopoet’s Fuzozo AI companion toy, which has sold nearly 300,000 units in China and led Tmall’s AI toy category during the 618 Shopping Festival.
