Uprising in the living room just got real. China Unicom and Huawei just dropped their family robot called Zhi Jia Tong Tong, and it’s making Shanghai homes look like something out of a sci-fi movie. This thing isn’t messing around.
The robot packs ten smart home applications into one sleek domestic package. Built on CloudZhi OS, it’s basically a full-stack smart control system designed specifically for home environments. The kicker? It’s completely domestically developed, which means China isn’t relying on anyone else for this tech transformation.
China’s complete domestic development means zero foreign dependency for this smart home revolution hitting Shanghai households hard.
Core functions include video calls, family digital archives, and media libraries that actually work. The AI-powered cameras turn your home into a monitoring station that recognizes faces and behaviors. Health monitoring, fitness coaching, and digital classroom features round out the package. There’s even a detachable 10-inch smart screen for mobile control.
The technical specs are where things get serious. This robot runs on 6T computing power with a next-generation symmetric 2.5G optical networking chip. Wi-Fi coverage hits 2500Mbps throughout the home. The AI cameras feature dual-lens linkage, 4MP HD video capture, and smart retrieval functions that actually find what you’re looking for. The platform was showcased at MWC Barcelona 2025 alongside ZTE’s collaborative smart home terminal innovations.
Voice commands and AI-driven Q&A make interaction seamless. No more fumbling with multiple apps or remembering which device controls what. The AI algorithms handle precise face recognition, behavior analysis, and real-time alarms. Family photos get automatically organized through AI album features.
Integration is comprehensive. The system works with China Unicom’s smart home ecosystem, IPTV, and wide-view platform. Multi-ecosystem openness means compatibility with various smart devices and third-party applications. Unlike traditional systems that struggle with interoperability, this platform adopts Matter standard principles to ensure widespread device compatibility. One account manages everything. The collaboration represents a significant milestone in partnership between the companies in the smart home sector.
Security features include improved family monitoring with precise alerting. Local storage options reduce dependence on external servers, addressing privacy concerns head-on. Real-time alarm functions guarantee immediate incident response.
FTTR network technology provides stable, high-speed connectivity for all connected devices. Cross-device coordination handles applications, storage, and computing through China Unicom Cloud and 5G infrastructure. Shanghai homes are getting smarter, and this robot is leading the charge.
