On June 18th, Huaqiangbei launched an exclusive online livestream to officially release the global sales heat map of AI hardware products for H1 2026. For the first time, the broadcast adopted a human-machine collaborative presentation format. At the livestream, Yueyue, a civil servant host from Huaqiangbei Subdistrict, co-hosted with the Wukong robot to interpret the latest trends in the AI industry.

According to the heat map, consumer demand for AI hardware continued to heat up in the first half of 2026. The "hot zone TOP 10" products include AI glasses, AI robots, drones, AI smartwatches, AI-powered earbuds, AI cameras, AI toys, AI learning devices, AI translation devices, and AI-augmented musical instruments. These products represent the most mature and popular categories in today's AI consumer market, combining high sales volume, strong public attention, and robust application scenarios. They have become key gateways for global consumers to access AI technology. In addition to the "hot zone," the heat map also categorizes products into high-temperature zones, warming zones, and potential growth zones, reflecting different stages of development across AI hardware segments.

Notably, the livestream also gave rise to a new scenario in Huaqiangbei's "human-machine symbiosis" practice – human-machine collaborative live-streaming commerce. From product description styles to audience engagement patterns, the robot continuously refined its expressive system through extensive scenario-based learning and parameter optimization, gradually building a delivery style aligned with the host's. During the broadcast, the robot not only introduced products but also responded to the host's topics in real time, engaged in interactive exchanges, and maintained pacing coordination, achieving a more seamless "synchronized dialogue."

深圳华强北发布2026年上半年AI硬件全球销售热力图

6月18日，华强北开启线上专场直播，正式发布《华强北2026年上半年AI硬件全球销售热力图》。本次直播首次采用“人机协同发布”的形式。直播现场，华强北街道公务员主播“月月”携手悟空机器人，共同解读AI产业趋势。

从热力图来看，2026年上半年，AI硬件消费持续升温。其中，爆火区TOP10产品分别为AI眼镜、AI机器人、无人机、AI手表、AI耳机、AI相机、AI玩具、AI学习机、AI翻译机、AI乐器。这些产品代表当前AI消费市场中最成熟、最受欢迎的品类，兼具高销量、高关注度和较强场景应用能力，已成为全球消费者接触AI的重要入口。除爆火区外，本次热力图还划分出高温区、升温区和潜力增长区，展现不同AI硬件品类所处的发展阶段。

值得关注的是，本次直播还诞生了华强北“人机共生”实践中的新场景——人机协同“带货”。从产品介绍风格到观众互动习惯，机器人通过大量场景学习和参数调优，逐步建立起与主播相匹配的表达体系。直播过程中，机器人不仅能够完成产品介绍，还能根据主播的话题进行实时接话、互动回应和节奏配合，实现更自然的“同频对话”。
