About Haier Group
Haier Group is a diversified appliance, smart-home and industrial technology group whose robotics activity includes household service, cleaning and exoskeleton systems. Its Haier Smart Home business introduced HIVA Haiwa as a humanoid home-service robot within a wider strategy for reducing household labour.
HIVA is presented as a Haier Smart Home product initiative, not a separately evidenced independent robotics company. The robot sits alongside Haier's connected-home ecosystem, while the group's wider robotics exposure extends beyond this single platform.

Events
- 2025-03-19 - Market Signal - Haier Smart Home unveils AI-driven home service robotics roadmap at 2025 Ecosystem Conference
The 2025 Haier Smart Home Ecosystem Conference outlined faster work on home service robots inside a broader AI-for-home roadmap. Presentation materials framed those robots within an unmanned-housework vision tied to the wider connected-home portfolio. The briefing is the clearest pre-2026 official marker that home robotics had been elevated into a named strategic product track.

Haier's 2025 Two Sessions microsite tied faster embodied-intelligence work to household robotics scenarios inside the broader smart-home stack. Family-service robots were positioned as an ecosystem extension rather than a standalone experiment in that narrative. The emphasis lands as sustained strategic weight on embodied home robotics ahead of later Haiwa launch beats.
