Smart products for children

Mamibao, a company from the city of Ningbo, presented a smart baby crib. Its camera monitors the infant in real time and alerts caregivers if the child’s nose or mouth is obstructed, which may indicate a risk of suffocation.

Company representative Nie Ning noted that Mamibao had previously manufactured products for well-known foreign brands, while in recent years it has been developing its own brand and more technologically advanced products. The smart crib is already sold in mainland China and Dubai.

At the SenseTime booth, company employee Lu Jishuang spoke about an AI agent that is evolving from a communication tool into a productivity tool. Its use is expanding, including in healthcare and education. According to official data, from January through September 2026, retail sales of smart wearable devices in China increased by more than 70% year on year, while sales at unmanned stores rose by more than 25%.
