Tuya Smart and Zeroth Partner to Turn Robots Into Household Hubs

Robots have long functioned as isolated tools, but a new collaboration between Tuya Smart and Zeroth aims to transform them into active household managers. By integrating robotics with the Physical AI Engine, the companies plan to bridge the gap between cloud-based intelligence and physical home environments.

The partnership combines Tuya’s AI+IoT platform with Zeroth’s expertise in embodied intelligence. Rather than operating as standalone machines, these robots will act as central hubs, orchestrating lighting, climate, and security systems to create a cohesive smart home experience. Zeroth’s hardware will utilize Tuya’s Physical AI Engine and OmniMem memory technology to learn user routines, such as morning habits or specific preferences for elderly care and child companionship.

By fusing onboard sensors with Tuya’s network of air quality and motion detectors, the robots gain a comprehensive view of the home. This allows for real-time, high-fidelity interaction that extends beyond simple task execution. Looking forward, the companies intend to optimize the synergy between edge computing and cloud AI to ensure sub-second response times, even in low-connectivity conditions. This initiative seeks to build an open ecosystem, inviting global developers to refine how robots perceive and collaborate within human-centered living spaces.
