On June 6, UBTECH did something big—released its first consumer-grade full-size ultra-bionic humanoid robot, the U1 Series. Standing approximately 1.7 meters tall, with 41 high-performance servo joints, ROSA 2.0 operating system, multi-modal perception system, capable of chatting, dancing, accompanying children in learning, and caring for the elderly. Priced at 299,000 yuan.
On June 3, an obscure Chinese startup named Monako dropped a bombshell: Monako Glass, the world’s first wearable Linux computer in glasses form. Not an AI assistant hanging on your glasses—the glasses themselves are a complete computer. MonoOS system, Lua application layer, Claude Code and OpenAI Codex running locally. Forty-eight grams, $399, $19 reservation.
In 2019, Valve Index burst onto the scene with its 144Hz refresh rate and Index controllers’ “finger tracking,” becoming the ceiling of PC VR at the time. Then Valve disappeared—no new VR hardware for six years, watching Meta Quest evolve from a 3DoF toy to the Quest 3 mixed reality flagship. Until November 12, 2025, when Valve suddenly dropped three bombs: Steam Machine console, Steam Controller, and Steam Frame VR headset. Early 2026 launch, pricing unannounced, but estimated at $499-599 for 256GB and $699-799 for 1TB.
On June 5, Kannan Tech released the K2 smart glasses in Hangzhou. Twenty-five point eight grams total weight, 7.1mm temple thickness at the thinnest point, European-imported ultra-light nylon material—these three numbers alone tell me this company is not playing with concepts but with materials science. Priced at 2350 yuan, with a 32MP camera, 4K 30FPS recording, EIS plus AI dual stabilization, and Kiro OS built specifically for AI glasses.
At the Huawei Nova 16 launch event on May 30, alongside phones, a fluffy little creature emerged—Xingzai. It is not a phone accessory, not a smart speaker, but an AI companion toy that hangs on your bag. It turns its head toward you when you speak, shrinks shyly when you pet its forehead, and shakes excitedly when you sway it. Priced at 499 yuan, powered by Huawei Xiaoyi large model, with Wi-Fi plus 4G dual-network independent operation.
Recently an interesting player emerged in the eldercare track: YuanSheng Intelligence. Founder Deng Longsheng previously led Xiaotiancui learning tablet products; co-founder Fang Shaojie worked on Xiaotiancui phone watches and Huohuotu; marketing lead Li Ge comes from rehabilitation robotics. This team just secured over 10 million yuan in Pre-A funding, generates nearly one million yuan monthly revenue, and exports products overseas.
On June 2, at the Build 2026 developer conference in San Francisco, Microsoft dropped a bombshell: Windows is changing its last name to “Agent.” No longer serving apps, it is becoming the landlord for AI agents. Project Solara, this hardware platform, represents Microsoft’s ultimate answer to “what should the next computer look like”—no keyboard, no mouse, no grid of app icons. You walk up, and the AI agent knows who you are and what you need.
If you are like me, constantly switching between conference rooms, coffee shops, and subway cars for work, you know how important it is to travel light. The Vidda G11 AI audio glasses essentially cram three devices—your eyeglasses, Bluetooth earbuds, and voice recorder—into a frame that looks like ordinary glasses. At a starting price of 1299 yuan (1104 yuan after national subsidy), is this AI-enabled eyewear a genuine bargain or a gimmick? Let’s break it down.
