From IOTE 2026 to Tokyo Toy Show, Uascent showcases how AIoT capabilities are accelerating the evolution from interactive devices to intelligent companions

Shenzhen, China — As artificial intelligence, large language models, and IoT technologies continue to reshape consumer products, AI companion devices and smart toys are emerging as a new generation of intelligent terminals.

Recently, Shenzhen Uascent Technology Co., Ltd. (Uascent) participated in IOTE 2026 Shenzhen International IoT Exhibition and Tokyo Toy Show, showcasing its latest innovations in AI companion products, smart toy solutions, and AIoT technologies. Through these global industry platforms, Uascent demonstrated how AI can move beyond basic interaction and evolve into long-term, personalized companionship experiences.

The company’s participation highlighted a broader industry transformation: intelligent products are shifting from simple functional tools into AI-powered companions capable of understanding users, maintaining interaction memory, and delivering more natural experiences.

AI Companion Products Enter a New Stage: System Capability Becomes the Core Competitive Advantage

The rapid development of AI models has lowered the technical barrier for conversational experiences. However, building a truly engaging AI companion requires far more than simply integrating a large language model.

Unlike traditional smart devices that focus mainly on voice commands, information retrieval, or device control, AI companion products require deeper capabilities:

• Maintaining consistent personalities and character identities; • Understanding user preferences through long-term memory; • Combining knowledge, reasoning, and task execution capabilities; • Ensuring safe and reliable interactions, especially in family and children-focused scenarios.

Uascent believes that the future competition in AI companions will shift from “whether a product has AI capability” to“whether it can build lasting intelligent relationships with users.”

A successful AI companion is not defined by a single prompt or AI model. Instead, it requires a complete engineering system covering character design, memory management, knowledge integration, safety mechanisms, and continuous optimization.

Connecting AIoT Technology with the Future of Smart Toys

At IOTE 2026, Uascent presented its AIoT-powered solutions designed to support the development and commercialization of intelligent consumer products.

Behind every natural AI interaction lies a complex technology ecosystem, including:

• Intelligent hardware design; • Voice interaction technology; • Device connectivity; • Cloud-based AI services; • Data management; • Continuous product operation and optimization.

By integrating AI capabilities with IoT infrastructure, Uascent aims to help brands reduce development complexity and accelerate the transition from AI concepts to scalable products.

From Toys to AI Companions: Redefining the Future of Play

At Tokyo Toy Show, Uascent further explored the integration of AI technology with the global toy industry.

As AI enters the toy sector, the role of toys is evolving beyond entertainment. Future smart toys may become intelligent companions with interactive abilities, emotional expression, and long-term engagement.

For brands, the challenge is no longer simply adding a chatbot feature to a toy. The real opportunity lies in creating products with:

• Strong character identity; • Meaningful interaction; • Personalized experiences; • Long-term user relationships.

The transition from traditional toys to AI companions represents a fundamental upgrade in the consumer product experience.

Building AI Companion Products with Full-Stack AIoT Capabilities

To support real-world AI companion applications, Uascent has developed an integrated technology framework combining AI capabilities, hardware connectivity, cloud services, and intelligent device development.

Powered by the MarsGate AIoT Platform, Uascent provides comprehensive support for AI companion product development, including:

• AI interaction capabilities; • AI Agent integration; • Character and memory systems; • Device management; • Cloud-based services; • Product commercialization support.

Through this full-stack approach, Uascent helps brands transform innovative ideas into reliable and scalable AI-powered products.

Exploring Global Opportunities in the AI Companion Era

Uascent’s participation in both IOTE 2026 and Tokyo Toy Show reflects a growing trend: AI is accelerating the transformation of consumer products toward smarter, more personalized, and emotionally engaging experiences.

While IOTE connects the global AIoT ecosystem and intelligent device industry, Tokyo Toy Show represents the future of consumer creativity and entertainment. The combination of these two ecosystems demonstrates how AI is creating new opportunities across traditional industries.

Looking ahead, Uascent will continue focusing on AIoT platforms, intelligent terminal solutions, and AI companion innovations, working with global partners to explore the next generation of intelligent products.

By connecting artificial intelligence, IoT technologies, and consumer applications, Uascent aims to help build a future where intelligent devices become more natural, interactive, and integrated into everyday life.
