LAS VEGAS, March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OLLOBOT, a brand focused on fusing advanced technology with emotional companionship, announced that the upgraded version of OlloNi, its companion‑robot concept first revealed earlier this year, is scheduled to launch on Kickstarter in August. The forthcoming model follows the positive response OlloNi received during its public debut at CES 2026, where the cyber‑pet captured notable attention from attendees, media, and robotics observers.

“The upgraded version now in development builds on feedback gathered during the exhibition. Both the exterior design and performance capabilities of the upgraded OlloNi are undergoing significant refinement,” said Lyn Fang, founder of OLLOBOT. The goal is to elevate the character, interactivity, and expressive range demonstrated during CES, while preserving the core design philosophy that shaped the original concept. These enhancements reflect a commitment to evolving the device into a more cohesive and mature companion cyber-pet robot ahead of its first crowdfunding release.

OlloNi’s introduction at CES 2026 marked OLLOBOT’s entrance into the consumer robotics landscape. The device presented an alternative interpretation of home robotics, departing from the familiar categories of humanoid machines and quadruped robots. Instead of replicating biological forms, OlloNi introduced a new species‑like silhouette designed to coexist naturally within human environments. This direction aligns with OLLOBOT’s belief that next‑generation companion cyber-pet robots should be defined by emotional comfort, not mimicry.

The design showcased at CES employed a balance of playful and purposeful elements. Throughout the exhibition, OlloNi’s presence drew consistent foot traffic to the OLLOBOT booth. The small robot’s mixture of clumsy charm and agile movement distinguished it from the high‑performance industrial systems surrounding it. The reception highlighted growing interest in devices that blend emotional resonance with technical capability, indicating a broader appetite for companion‑focused robotics.

Media coverage echoed the enthusiasm. Forbes described OlloNi as “rare in that it promises presence, not tech,” praising its character‑driven approach as one of the most thoughtful interpretations of consumer robotics at the show. Engadget noted the distinctive, whimsical appeal of the “goofy, long‑necked cyber-pet.” Interesting Engineering similarly emphasized that OLLOBOT’s family‑centric design sets it apart from typical smart‑home devices, highlighting its focus on strengthening emotional connection rather than merely providing functional utility. Meanwhile, commentary from CES editorial analyses suggested that OLLOBOT’s debut prompted reconsideration of the role companion cyber-pet robots could play in domestic settings.

Looking ahead, OLLOBOT confirmed that OlloNi’s Kickstarter launch will serve as the official introduction of the enhanced model and the broader “cyber‑pet universe” the brand plans to expand. The August campaign will mark the next step in bringing expressive, emotionally attuned robotics into everyday life, beginning with a design shaped collaboratively by creators and early observers from its CES unveiling.

About OLLOBOT

OLLOBOT, a brand under BizConf Technology Co Ltd (SHE: 300578), specializes in embodied intelligence and develops proactive, family‑centric AI companion cyber-pet robots. The brand focuses on creating emotionally intelligent embodied AI that brings warmth, presence, and gentle connections to modern homes. Its products learn routines and emotional patterns with “gentle intelligence,” develop long‑term personality traits, and prioritize privacy and emotional safety.

Pioneering a new category defined by the Cyber Pet concept, OLLOBOT integrates AI and robotics into real domestic environments to rethink how families connect with technology and to make home life feel more meaningful and emotionally enriched.

New global framework unites federations, clubs and ecosystem leaders to form national teams and mobilize local communities, accelerating representation on the global stage

Watch the ENC National Team Partners Announcement Campaign

[Media Kit]

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Esports Foundation (EF) today awarded National Team Partner status to organizations and individuals across more than 100 countries and territories for the Esports Nations Cup 2026 (ENC), the global nation-based esports competition set to debut in Riyadh from November 2-29, 2026.

The Esports Foundation has awarded National Team Partner status to more than 100 countries and territories for the inagural

This marks the first time esports introduces a structured global system for national teams at scale, adding a new layer to the industry’s ecosystem alongside club-based competition. Designed to complement existing frameworks rather than replace them, the ENC will work with local stakeholders closest to the sport to strengthen connections and support long-term national development. 

National Team Partners will lead team formation, mobilize local communities and establish the structures needed to enable participation and the growth of esports. To ensure worldwide participation, countries and territories without a partner will be supported through regional structures provided by the EF. 

The EF received more than 630 applications from 150 countries and territories, reflecting the global interest in and opportunity for nation-based esports. The partners represent legacy esports organizations that have shaped their national scenes for decades alongside emerging forces driving the next wave of competitive gaming. The list of organizations and individuals who have been awarded this status is available on the ENC website and will be updated as additional appointments are confirmed.

“The Esports Nations Cup introduces something esports has never had before: a global system for national teams at an unprecedented scale,” said Ralf Reichert, CEO of the Esports Foundation. “The response we received from across the world shows that communities are ready for this next step. Together with our partners, we are building the structures that will allow players to represent their nations and compete on the biggest stage in esports. With more than 100 nations now part of the system, the Esports Nations Cup moves from concept to reality, establishing national esports as a lasting part of the global competitive landscape.”

Recognizing that esports has developed differently in many nations, the ENC adopts a partnership-led approach rather than relying on a single model, marking a first in global sport and esports alike. By working with recognized local stakeholders, whether institutions, Clubs, or community-led organizations, this model is designed to unlock the full creative and competitive potential of each nation.

National Team Partners will operate through a range of structures, from established national bodies such as the Korea Esports Association and the Saudi Esports Federation, to club-led coalitions in Brazil and the USA, and hybrid public-private alliances in countries like Germany, Canada and the UAE.

In markets such as Malaysia, Turkey, and Thailand, partners include federations working closely with grassroots communities, while in emerging regions like Indonesia and Mongolia, partners are being supported through structured development to represent their nations on a global stage.

For the first time in the history of esports, national teams will be formed from these local structures, bringing players together to compete for their nation and unlocking a new dimension of fandom built on identity and pride. From South Korea’s legendary League of Legends dominance and India’s Chess affinity, to Brazil’s Counter-Strike tradition, Japan’s fighting games heritage and Southeast Asia’s mobile games’ powerhouses, the ENC creates a new global stage for competition.

The ENC will launch in Riyadh in November 2026 before moving to a rotating city model. The biennial ENC complements the annual Club-based Esports World Cup (EWC), providing a stable structure for players and long-term investment in national team programs.

Additional information about the Esports Nations Cup will be released in the coming weeks. To stay up to date, visit esportsnationscup.com, and follow ENC on X, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and follow the Esports Foundation on LinkedIn.
