From TCL's hey AiMe family companion robot and Vbot's household quadruped to the xLean TR1 floor washer, D-Robotics' AI chips and robotics developer kits now power hundreds of robot products worldwide.
BERLIN, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- When IFA 2026 opens in Berlin this week, some of the show's most talked-about home robots will share a common thread: they all run on Sunrise AI chips from D-Robotics, a leading provider of robotics development infrastructure. These include TCL's hey AiMe companion robot, Vbot's SuperDog household quadruped, and the xLean TR1 floor-washing robot.
TCL brings the hey AiMe, billed as the world's first family companion-education robot. It combines guided-play learning with autonomous navigation, expressive 10-DoF movement, and over 20 sensors. Its debut signals that home companion robots are carving out a category of their own. The hey AiMe is at Hall 21, Booth 101.
Vbot makes its official European debut with the SuperDog. The consumer quadruped is already in mass production and has reached thousands of households since May 2026. It is CE-certified, and European pre-orders are now open. The SuperDog is at Hall 25, Booth 167.
Closing the line-up is the xLean TR1. Fresh from a $2 million (approx. €1.7 million) Kickstarter campaign backed by over 2,000 supporters, it will demonstrate its EvoMate AI Agent live at ShowStoppers and at Booth 11.1-129.
