Tuya Smart Launches Doova, AI Robot for Seniors at IFA 2026
The new AI companion robot aims to enhance safety and companionship for seniors.
Tuya Smart has introduced Doova, an AI home companion robot, at IFA 2026 in Berlin. This innovative device is specifically designed to assist seniors living independently, combining elements of safety, companionship, and smart home integration.
Doova features advanced technologies such as LDS LiDAR and a four-microphone sound localization system. In case of emergencies, seniors can call out to the robot for help, prompting it to locate them and assess their situation. If no response is received within 60 seconds, Doova will initiate an emergency protocol, contacting family members via a live video call.
The robot is designed not only for safety but also for emotional support. It can engage users in conversation, provide entertainment, and offer assistance with daily tasks like interpreting bills or managing schedules. Over time, Doova learns the user’s preferences, becoming more helpful in areas such as meal planning and wellness reminders.
In addition to its companionship features, Doova simplifies home monitoring. It employs a unique coverage strategy that allows it to navigate rooms and generate safety reports sent directly to the user's mobile device. This approach contrasts with traditional security devices that often feel intrusive.
Doova also functions as a smart home hub, allowing users to control connected devices with ease. Its design aims to integrate smoothly into the home environment, making it less like a conventional robot and more like a companion.
The introduction of Doova reflects a growing trend towards AI solutions that cater to the needs of seniors. With this launch, Tuya Smart continues to expand its AI and IoT ecosystem to support independent living.
