GUANGZHOU, China, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tuya Smart (NYSE: TUYA; HKEX: 2391), a global AI cloud platform service provider, today announced a partnership with Zeroth, focusing on consumer-grade embodied intelligence. The two companies will combine Tuya’s AI+IoT ecosystem with Zeroth’s robotics expertise to co-develop robot-driven smart living scenarios, enabling home service robots to evolve from simple task executors into intelligent, adaptive household companions.

As robots gain the ability to perceive environments, collaborate proactively, and continuously learn, they are poised to become true household members that work in concert with smart devices—expanding the possibilities of smart living.

However, home service robots have long operated as isolated tools, unable to communicate with the broader smart home ecosystem. This lack of integration has been a key bottleneck in the development of the next generation of smart living experiences. The partnership between Tuya Smart and Zeroth is designed to address this challenge head-on, enabling robots to fully integrate into the connected home and serve as a “super mobile terminal” and “proactive household manager.”

As a brand focusing on consumer-grade embodied intelligence, Zeroth is dedicated to the research, development, and application of robotics and artificial intelligence, with products spanning family companionship, multi-scenario interaction, and complex environment exploration.

Powered by Tuya’s proprietary Physical AI Engine (PAE) architecture, Zeroth’s robots will be deeply integrated with AI+IoT devices throughout the home. Rather than operating in isolation, the robot will function as a household intelligence hub—orchestrating lighting, climate control, curtains, security, and energy management systems to collaboratively execute complex household tasks.

For example, when a user wakes up in the morning, the robot can coordinate with connected smart devices to adjust lighting to a soft, warm tone, play gentle morning music, and provide a briefing on the day’s weather and schedule.

Zeroth’s robots are equipped with onboard vision, audio, and other embodied sensors. Through integration with Tuya’s whole-home sensor matrix—including air quality, human presence, and ambient light sensors—the partnership achieves real-time, high-fidelity sensor fusion. This effectively gives the smart home both “mobility” and “extended reach,” enabling a leap from localized sensing to comprehensive whole-home awareness.

For robots to become truly adaptive companions, they require robust cognitive and memory capabilities. Zeroth’s “embodied brain” integrates Tuya’s OmniMem long-term memory engine, enabling the robot to proactively adjust its behavior based on past interactions. For instance, it can remember a child’s favorite games or an elderly family member’s daily routine, delivering an experience that becomes more personalized over time.

Bridging Cloud Intelligence and Physical Execution

The collaboration addresses a longstanding industry challenge: the disconnect between cloud-based AI and physical hardware. By bridging this gap, the partnership enables robots to be deeply deployed across real-world household scenarios—including elderly care, children’s companionship, and pet monitoring—delivering accessible, intuitive, and empathetic smart services to families worldwide.

Going forward, the two companies plan to deepen the synergy between local edge computing and cloud-based AI, ensuring that robots can orchestrate whole-home devices with sub-second response times even in offline or low-connectivity environments. Additionally, both parties will collaborate to build an open embodied intelligence ecosystem, empowering global developers to bring innovative ideas to life and jointly shaping a future of smart living that is perceptive, collaborative, and human-centered.

Mr. Lu emphasized that guided by SHPT’s R&D philosophy of “applying one generation, developing the next, and planning for the future,” the company leverages the industry-exclusive HPDP (Hydrogen Product Development Process) to engineer automotive-grade, high-performance, and high-reliability fuel cell products, thereby continuously steering the industry’s technological trajectory.

Built on this full-spectrum technology foundation, the newly launched M5 & P5 series delivers a transformative performance leap, with multiple core metrics ranking among the top in the industry.

The PROME M5X Fuel Cell Stack boasts a rated power of 328 kW, a volumetric power density of 7.1 kW/L, and a mass power density of 7.2 kW/kg. These metrics represent increases of 75% and 160% respectively over the previous-generation M4 platform, reaching a domestically leading level.

Engineered for flexible operating conditions, the M5X ensures stable operation with the operating temperature from -40°C to 95°C. Notably, 95°C is the highest recorded operating temperature for self-humidified stacks in the industry, effectively simplifying vehicle thermal management design.

Furthermore, through the co-design of materials and the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA), platinum loading has been reduced to 0.215 g/kW, significantly cutting the use of precious metals and improving product economy.

PROME P5X Fuel Cell System brings five major value upgrades:

With a rated power of 280 kW, the P5X delivers a high system power, enabling the needs for high-speed heavy-duty vehicles, mining trucks, combined heat and power (CHP), and others, effectively redrawing the boundaries of product applicability.

Leveraging the industry-leading volumetric power density of the M5X stack, the P5X system greatly enhances adaptability across diverse vehicle platforms, reducing the complexity of vehicle layout design.

Boasting a mass power density of 1009 W/kg, the P5X is China’s first fuel cell system to surpass the 1 kW/kg threshold, representing a 46% increase over the previous-generation P4 platform. This effectively eliminates the payload penalty common in heavy-duty transport and significantly improves freight efficiency.

With a design life of 30,000 hours, the system effectively reduces the total cost of ownership throughout the vehicle’s lifecycle.

System operating efficiency has been substantially elevated. Under typical conditions for a 49-ton heavy-duty truck operating at highway speeds (approx. 150 kW average power), the P5X achieves an efficiency of 51%, an absolute increase of 10 percentage points over the previous generation. This translates into standout energy savings, directly lowering operating costs and improving economic returns.
