JD.com Turns "Smart Home" into AIHome
This report covers the AIHome demo room built by JD.com at WAIC. When a user comes home and says "I'm back," the tea bar machine pours water, a robot dog comes to interact, the mattress asks if they need a massage, and the TV recommends content. The core isn't remotely controlling individual devices, but having the entire room integrated with JoyInside to understand human intent and proactively collaborate.
JD.com's Approach: "From Passive Control to Proactive Fulfillment"
The article emphasizes that JD.com views the home as the first stop for physical AI because it is both high-frequency and complex: multiple people talking at once, noise interference, and a mix of different brands and protocols. To address this, JD.com proposes the "AI Space" concept, giving each device its own AI capabilities rather than relying on a central controller.
Other devices showcased on-site include:
- AI desk lamp: can grade homework and project it onto the desk
- AI night light: offers conversation, sleep aids, and emotional value
- AI robot dog: supports dialogue and programmable actions
- Smart sleep mattress: tracks breathing and body movement to generate health reports
- Yuanluobo AI chess robot: acts as a practice partner and conversationalist
Tech Focus: Multimodality, Long-Horizon Tasks, and Decentralization
JoyInside leverages multimodal interaction to solve recognition challenges in noisy home environments and uses a "fast brain/slow brain" architecture to handle long-horizon tasks. JD.com also stated it has integrated nearly 200 brands, expects to connect over 10 million terminal devices in 2026, and is offering ASR, TTS, and large model capabilities to brands for free to lower the cost of trial and error.
