NUREMBERG, Germany, Jan. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tuya Smart (NYSE: TUYA, HKEX: 2391), a global AI cloud platform service provider, showcased a series of groundbreaking AI products at Spielwarenmesse 2026 in Nuremberg from January 27 to 31. At the event, Tuya also unveiled the secret behind the next generation of AI toys that are set to become the next big hit.

Nebula Plush AI Toy

The most impressive feature of the Nebula Plush AI Toy is its real-time LED facial expression feedback based on user emotions. When you're happy or sad, it can respond through changes in its eyes. It not only supports smooth conversation but also features carefully designed tactile feedback, responding to hugs and touches vividly. Combined with storytelling, news broadcasting, and interactive games, it becomes a true AI companion with long-term memory and emotional companionship capabilities.

Walulu

Walulu precisely addresses the demand for personalized companionship. Its AI core can detect up to 19 distinct emotional responses and supports over 60 languages. Moreover, it integrates seamlessly with major AI large language models, including ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, and Doubao. Users can choose or cultivate a range of personality traits—such as cheerful, quiet, curious, or considerate—to build a personalized, dynamic pet community.

AI Learning Camera

The AI Learning Camera skillfully blends AI vision with education. Its object recognition feature not only identifies objects but also links them to cultural and educational content. For example, when capturing foreign languages, the camera can provide real-time pronunciation and translation. Additionally, its built-in AI filters and image transformation features can turn children's doodles into stunning digital artwork, igniting creativity. Through multimodal AI conversations, it can also become a fun, exploratory companion for children as they discover the world.

In addition, Tuya showcased AI robotic dogs with motion mimicry and emotional interaction capabilities, responding to voice commands and performing a variety of realistic actions. There was also the AI Clock, offering customizable theme scenes and alarm settings that turn every wake-up into a ceremonial experience. These innovative AI products represent the expanding boundaries of intelligent companionship. They demonstrate that the next generation of AI toys is moving beyond single-function toys to offer deeper emotional resonance, more personalized interactive experiences, and seamless integration with real-world scenarios.
