Moya
Moya is a pioneering biomimetic humanoid robot from DroidUp, designed with human-like proportions at 1.65 meters tall and 32 kg, featuring a 92% accurate walking gait, micro-expressions like smiling and winking, and body temperature of 32-36°C for realistic interactions. Built on embodied AI, it perceives, reasons, and acts in physical environments, excelling in natural bipedal locomotion on flat surfaces with stable posture. Its modular head supports eye contact and facial nuances, targeting healthcare for elder care, education, and commercial settings requiring prolonged human-robot collaboration. Unlike industrial humanoids, Moya prioritizes lifelike presence over heavy labor, with fluid arm movements, gesture replication, and warm skin-like materials to foster trust and companionship. Advanced sensors enable visual perception, while its Walker 3 chassis ensures balanced, human-mimicking mobility, positioning it as a breakthrough in interactive robotics for daily human-centric applications.
