Doova added to the catalog

Tuya Smart's wheeled senior companion Doova joins HomeBotRadar after its IFA 2026 debut. No public MSRP or ship date.

We added Doova to HomeBotRadar. It is Tuya Smart's wheeled companion for seniors living alone, shown at IFA 2026 in Berlin: a short round robot with no arms, a 10.1-inch HD screen, and a "Hey Tuya, help" emergency flow that can start a two-way family video call after 60 seconds of silence.

Our Doova profile covers the official Tuya launch note and the PR Newswire write-up. Confirmed from those pages: LDS LiDAR, a four-microphone array, camera pose detection, dual-wheel drive with casters, auto-dock, and Tuya smart-home voice control. Height, weight, battery hours, and a store price are still unpublished. The Verge (September 2, 2026) says Tuya plans to bring it to market but has not named a date or a dollar figure. Treat that as Coming Soon, not a cart you can check out.

Open Doova vs ElliQ if you are stacking a rolling IFA prototype against a US desk companion you can lease today. ElliQ ships as a membership lease. EBO X is a buyable family guardian with a live US price. Doova does not have a consumer store yet. Start at Tuya's IFA announcement before you treat a third-party rumor as a list price.
