A humanoid robot that walks, maintains eye contact, and displays subtle facial expressions has drawn attention on Chinese social media after videos showcasing its capabilities were circulated. The robot, named Moya, was unveiled in Shanghai by the robotics company DroidUp, which describes it as the world’s first fully biomimetic embodied intelligent robot.
Moya is built around the idea of embodied artificial intelligence, systems that can perceive, reason, and act within the physical world rather than operating purely in digital environments.
In the footage shared by the South China Morning Post (SCMP), the humanoid is seen smiling, nodding, making eye contact, and walking with a gait that closely resembles human movement. The company claims Moya can replicate human micro-expressions, a feature that places it among the most humanlike robots currently under development.
Standing 1.65 metres (5.5 feet) tall and weighing around 32 kilograms (70 pounds), Moya has been designed with proportions close to those of an adult human. DroidUp also states that the robot maintains a body temperature between 32 and 36 degrees Celsius (89.6°F and 96.8°F), a detail intended to enhance its lifelike presence during interaction. The company reports that Moya’s walking posture has an accuracy of 92 percent, highlighting its focus on stable, natural locomotion.

There’s a guy standing near by with the Remote Control
Let me know when they can do house and garden chores. I need a companion and a sex robot as much as I need a grand piano. Which is not at all.
“And I would think that that accidental human ‘design’, could be improved my smart people.”
Maybe we could ask AI to design one.
one of those crap sites where you have to wade through ads and unrelated videos to finallly get to it.
At least they gave her nice hoots.
I’m waiting for the Cherry 2000 model!
I want one that can clean kitchen and bathroom floors...
They need to work on the eyes, they’re a bit askew.
Interesting that the Chinese made her look like a blonde blue eyed European! Uh!
I want a robot that can clean, cook, do the laundry, and do my taxes. Not much else use to me.
And why do all the Chinese robots seem to be modeled after white, blonde, Western females?
Cultural appropriation, I tellz ya! Heh.

Hey, you better keep Swalwell away from her! He’d probably ask her for a date.
5'5" and 70 lbs. That kind of competition is going to drive the girls even crazier! If that is possible.

LOL! I wasn’t expecting that….😁
I don’t think I’ve met a healthy male who would want robot perfection over a real woman.
It doesn’t have to be a real thing. Just the perception of a threat will make them bonkers.
I think, like me, most women will only care about having one of their own to do housework.
she'd look pretty good on a riding lawnmower!
