Tuya Smart, a global AI cloud platform service provider, has incorporated a large language model, DeepSeek, into its AIoT platform. This development is aimed at assisting global developers in creating a new generation of smart home management robots. The open-source release of DeepSeek-R1 is accelerating advancements across various industries, with notable changes occurring in the smart home sector. The integration of DeepSeek by Tuya is a step towards making the concept of an AI butler, similar to Jarvis from the Marvel movie “Iron Man,” a reality.
The global family structure has shifted over the years, moving from larger, youthful families to smaller, aging households. This change has increased daily life pressures, prompting a rise in the use of home management robots for tasks such as chores, childcare, and elderly care. According to QYR research, the global home service robot market was valued at USD 10.7 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 14.24 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 4.4% from 2024 to 2030. Despite the growing demand, challenges remain in the market, including high technical costs and mismatches with operational habits. The integration of DeepSeek into Tuya’s AIoT platform aims to address these challenges by offering intelligent upgrade solutions to developers in the home management robot field. These robots are expected to feature advanced capabilities, such as bio-level interaction and cognitive enhancement, to accurately capture and respond to user commands.
The introduction of DeepSeek is driving the development of home management robots with enhanced learning, perception, and decision-making abilities. These robots will be capable of understanding user habits and making decisions based on their observations of the home environment. For instance, they can prepare personalized breakfasts and perform household cleaning tasks while ensuring the care of elderly family members and children. This advancement aims to provide users with a convenient and personalized home lifestyle.
Home management robots are also evolving to become more anthropomorphic, possessing self-awareness and emotional intelligence. This development allows them to engage with users on a more personal level, providing responses based on the user’s personality and emotional state. Such interactions are designed to make the robot an indispensable companion in the user’s life. Additionally, these robots are being equipped with the ability to respond to emergencies in the home, such as spills or accidents, helping to ensure the safety of family members around the clock.
The integration of the DeepSeek large language model with Tuya’s AIoT platform is transforming home management robots into versatile assistants capable of full-domain reasoning, emotional interaction, and flexible adaptability. As these robots become more integrated into family life, Tuya continues to advance its AI research, supporting developers in achieving breakthroughs in home management robot innovation. This ongoing effort aims to create a more efficient and welcoming living environment for users.
