Neopets Lands in Fortnite: Aisha Arrives as the First Neopets Sidekick This July

One of our favourite Neopets is making the leap from Neopia to the Fortnite Island!

LOS ANGELES, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Neopets, meet Fortnite. Fortnite, meet Aisha.

Grab your omelettes, pack your Neggs, and prepare for an EPIC interdimensional adventure: Neopets is officially landing in Fortnite, with the iconic Aisha debuting as the very first Neopets Sidekick.

Beginning July 2, 2026 at 8 PM ET, players can find the Neopets Aisha Sidekick in the Fortnite Shop until July 9, 2026 at 8 PM ET.

A beloved classic Neopet known for its signature feline features and adorable antenna-like double ears, the Aisha Sidekick will be ready to follow players onto the Fortnite Island, cheer them on from the sidelines, and bring a little Neopian magic to every game.

The collaboration marks an exciting new milestone for Neopets as the brand continues to expand beyond Neopia and into new worlds, new games, and new ways for fans to celebrate the pets they grew up loving.

"I still remember feeding my Aisha during computer classes in 2000, so getting to put one in Fortnite is kind of surreal. Tens of millions of players who grew up on Neopets are playing Fortnite now, so this is our way of bringing a piece of their childhood to where they already are. I hope it gives our fans a little hit of nostalgia, and I hope many millions more will enjoy meeting an Aisha for the first time. Expect to see Neopets showing up in more places!" said Dominic, CEO of Neopets.

The Aisha Sidekick will include two adorable Styles: the classic default Aisha and the out-of-this-world Alien Aisha. And because no Neopian adventure that includes Alien Aishas would be complete without snacks, the Sidekick also has a charming Nosh-o-Matic Emote featuring an Alien Aisha Vending Machine, with three possible treats for Aisha to enjoy: a Carrot and Pea Omelette, a Fish Negg, or a Neocola Slushie.

Players who spend time with their Aisha Sidekick equipped in compatible experiences can earn Sidekick Points to unlock the emote along with other Aisha Rewards, making this an exciting moment for Neopets fans and Fortnite players alike.

Neopets Lands in Fortnite: Aisha Arrives as the First Neopets Sidekick This July

CHICAGO, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Techman Robot showcased its highly scalable AI automation solutions at Automate 2026. Designed to support global manufacturers expanding their US operations, these technologies focus on rapid deployment, standardized quality control, and eliminating the "Hidden Cost Trap" of traditional automation.

Eliminating the $40K Integration Friction

As companies establish new facilities in North America, mitigating high integration costs and navigating labor shortages are critical. Techman Robot addresses this by redefining the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). By utilizing Built-in AI Vision technology, facilities eliminate the need for external cameras, third-party software licenses, and specialized integration labor (which costs $150 to $250 per hour in the US).

This native integration allows manufacturers to cut up to $40,000 in hardware and integration costs per deployment, shifting the break-even window to an aggressive 6 to 18 months.

Next-Generation AI Software Enhancements

To streamline localized operations, Techman Robot introduced two major AI software upgrades:

• Auto AI Training: This feature empowers operators by making complex vision inspection simple. Through a continuous improvement framework, the AI model learns directly from operator feedback, significantly reducing manual engineering effort.
• TMscene (Codeless Programming for Flying Trigger): This 3D virtual environment software allows users to quickly plan "Flying Trigger" photography points using intuitive drag-and-drop actions. Its built-in Inspection Coverage Diagnostics eliminate blind spots and redundant camera movements, minimizing production line downtime.

High-Speed AI for Zero-Downtime Production

Integrating the programming advantages of TMscene, Techman Robot's High-Speed AI Flying Trigger Inspection technology performs defect detection while workpieces are in motion. This ensures zero-latency inspection and true zero-downtime production, reducing inspection times by an average of 40% to 50%.
