Tuya Unveils Doova, an AI Companion Robot for Seniors Living Alone
Berlin -- September 7, 2026 -- Tuya Smart introduced Doova, an AI companion robot designed for seniors living independently, at IFA 2026 in Berlin.
Doova responds to a spoken call for help within seconds
The robot uses LDS-LiDAR, a four-microphone sound-localization system, and AI skeleton-recognition algorithms to detect falls or emergencies. If a user says "Hey Tuya, help," Doova locates them, moves to their position, and assesses the situation in real time. If there is no response within 60 seconds, it automatically triggers an emergency workflow, sending family members a two-way live video alert so help can be arranged immediately.
