The recently concluded AWE 2026 exhibition still revolves around AI big models and computing power as the main narrative of smart homes. Whether traditional home appliance companies or consumer electronics giants, they are all envisioning a future home driven by AI, interconnected devices, and ecological synergy.

However, beyond this feast dominated by technical parameters and ecological scale, another force is quietly reshaping the definition of “smart living.” They rarely stand in the spotlight but are more closely connected to people’s daily lives: home furnishing companies are embarking on a deep and subtle transformation towards intelligence.

In contrast to consumer electronics companies that are keen on building grand ecosystems of interconnected devices, leading home furnishing companies like Kuka Home have chosen a more straightforward and essential path: not discussing computing power or competing on parameters, but instead refocusing technology on real life scenarios, truly aiming for “making people feel more comfortable and secure at home.”

This point was more vividly embodied at Kuka Home’s spring launch event for its smart flagship products on March 19, themed “The Power of Evolution, Enjoying New Life.” The entire presentation avoided convoluted technical concepts and instead focused technological innovation on the actual needs of users.

Rather than viewing this as an evolution of smart home products, it is more an in-depth exploration of the smart driving path: not merely pursuing cutting-edge technological concepts, but ensuring that every technological innovation addresses real user problems, enhancing convenience and happiness in home life.

Returning to “people”: Innovative technology born for comfort

Currently, as the AI wave sweeps across various industries, intelligence is accelerating into the fast lane. However, amidst the clamor of “interconnecting everything” and “parameter competition,” a more fundamental question awaits an answer: Is smart evolution meant for showcasing technology, or for truly making people comfortable at home?

In response to this proposition, Kuka Home provides a different answer. Its smart evolution always revolves around one core: how to use technological innovation to start from the real life scenarios of users, focusing on and responding to those unmet needs. For example, after sitting for a long time, does the body truly relax? When tossing and turning at night, can the mattress proactively adapt to changes in body posture?

This “people”-centric approach starkly contrasts with the current paths of intelligent evolution in the home furnishings industry. In the home sector, the evolution of intelligence presents diverse paths; some companies focus on AI big models and device interconnectivity, aiming to build a comprehensive smart ecosystem; while others continue with a product-oriented logic, focusing on “what I can provide.”

Kuka Home’s path to intelligence, however, shifts its focus forward after solidifying lean and digital manufacturing foundations: from introducing the industry’s first AI design brain to promoting product iterative innovation, Kuka does not stop at “what can be made,” but instead perceives “what users need,” allowing intelligence to truly serve the daily comfort of people.

This concept of intelligent evolution is vividly illustrated in the Moon Shadow M8Plus smart mattress released by Kuka Home. Turning over, snoring, body posture, sleep position… these small disturbances can shatter the already precious sleep. Addressing the pain point of “dynamic people still sleeping on a static mattress,” the Moon Shadow M8Plus smart mattress offers a breakthrough solution.

Its core breakthrough lies in the construction of a fast-response adaptive dynamic adjustment feature: equipped with Kuka’s patented pneumatic structure technology — 12+12AirSupport™ pressure-relief airbag, combined with millisecond-level pressure sensing, it can actively track body curve changes under different body types and sleeping positions, and perform rapid adaptive dynamic adjustments.

Additionally, its innovative WiseWave™ wave-like pressure relief simulates the rising and falling of ocean waves through airbags, providing a full-body relaxation massage from head to toe before falling asleep; at night, it can collect snoring sounds and intelligently drive the neck airbag to elevate approximately 7cm to alleviate the airway for a snore-reducing effect; in the morning, it supports a gentle wake-up in 2 minutes or a 5-minute soft wake-up.

According to calculations, this mattress can improve falling asleep efficiency by 76.7%, increase deep sleep duration by 22.6%, and enhance shoulder and back comfort by approximately 94.8%. These quantifiable metrics are evidence of Kuka Home’s genuine transformation of intelligence into a healthy and comfortable sleep experience.

It can be said that Kuka Home’s strategy has remained consistent: utilizing technology to make “comfort” perceivable and responsive. It does not showcase technology for its own sake but focuses on precisely addressing the most genuine and subtle pain points in home life, making every sit, lie down, and rest a true comfort experience.

Deepening “people”: Building a long-term comfort barrier

Comfort is never an endpoint reached all at once; rather, it is an endless evolution. At the launch event, when the Hertz S9 smart sofa, Qingyun smart single chair, Xinyao flagship soft bed, and Moon Shadow M8Plus smart mattress were showcased sequentially, what people saw was not just four smart new products but Kuka Home’s nearly obsessive, continuous iteration of the core concept of “comfort” over more than forty years.

Among them, the continuous iteration of Kuka Home’s functional sofa serves as a microcosm. Since Kuka Home began to enter the functional sofa sector over a decade ago, its innovation path has been rooted in user needs and data feedback, with the Hertz sofa’s continuous iteration being one of its typical representatives.

At this launch event, Kuka Home introduced the Hertz S9 smart sofa, the third generation product of the Hertz series. If Kuka’s first-generation Hertz functional sofa addressed the issues of traditional functional sofas being bulky and cumbersome, bringing a more fashionable design concept, and the second-generation Hertz functional sofa further provided a zero-gravity experience, then with the Hertz S9 smart sofa, Kuka Home has ushered in a new era of smart functional sofas with features like Deepbreath massage, low center of gravity, deep seating, and zero gravity.

For instance, in achieving Deepbreath massage, the airbag layout precisely covers the common pressure points of the human shoulder, neck, waist, and back, and through simulating real user experiences, it uses an up-and-down wave-like massage trajectory that gently pushes and kneads with a golden pressure intensity of 400hpa, providing an immersive SPA relaxation experience. The Hertz S9 smart sofa, equipped with the fully self-developed K-TRON®Space D deep seating zero-gravity functional frame, incorporates the freedom of sitting and lying into its design. One of the important design principles supports this by basing Kuka Home’s fully self-developed mechanical structure on ergonomic principles, optimizing linkage layouts and movement trajectories to achieve a super deep seat of 64cm and a zero-gravity posture of 135°, while evenly distributing body weight to effectively reduce spinal pressure, allowing users to “nestle comfortably into the sofa.”

In terms of interaction, InSense™ Kuka Lingxi smart control offers a more convenient operation experience, with an external hand controller unlocking multiple scenarios with one click, and a mobile app that can be awakened with a light tap via NFC, remembering user preferences so that operations require no mental effort and comfort is effortless.

Behind the scenes, Kuka Home is also quietly advancing material innovation. In response to the common problems caused by traditional sofas that use multiple pieces of foam cutting and bonding, such as glue residue, uneven stress, and easy collapse, Kuka Home has pioneered the application of CloudFloat™ cloud comfort elastic foam, whose evolution core lies in breaking away from the long-standing “slicing logic” and shifting to a “one-piece molding” process. This process eliminates the need for glue bonding, preventing odors and VOC emissions from the source, with the cushion portion achieving “0 glue, 0 heavy metal catalysts, 0 stone powder fillers.” According to third-party testing data, within the pressure range of 30-100kg, the support of cloud comfort elastic foam overall outperforms ordinary foam by 22%. After simulating 80,000 cycles of daily sitting pressure in fatigue tests, its hardness loss is only 17%, far better than the national standard limit of 32%, not only providing overall support and preventing collapse with prolonged sitting but also offering a soft yet powerful support feel like floating on clouds.

These innovations are all thanks to Kuka Home’s long-term accumulation of a complete chain capability from raw materials to core processes to manufacturing and delivery, which not only ensures product consistency and reliability but also allows comfort technology to transform from concept into a perceivable, trustworthy daily experience.

In conclusion

The evolution of home products toward smart comfort is essentially Kuka’s establishment of a new technological path focused on upgrading the comfort experience in home furnishings amid the wave of intelligence. It shows us that the most captivating aspect of smart homes lies not in those seemingly cool parameters but in the moment when you return home after a tiring day, collapsing onto the sofa or bed, and the home can accurately catch your fatigue.

In the future, as more companies return to the user itself, the home furnishing industry may usher in an industrial revolution centered around “comfort.” Kuka Home has already taken the lead in this evolution, interpreting the concept of “technology for good, comfort at heart” with every product and every innovation.
