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.

So, she is more lifelike than 70% of those in Congress.
I’m sure they will eventually program a robot to do the walk, if they haven’t done it already.
When will the robots decide that humans aren’t necessary and deal with the problem in the most obvious way?
Yeahbut can it chew gum at the same time?
These are not the droids you are looking for
Starting price of 175k.
Prolly cheaper than getting married for some!
More like 20%.
This the upgrade over the 100% Biden stumbling one that fell over a few months ago?
What are its measurements?
That's a lot cheaper than raising a child. Wait 'til they teach her to orgasm. Scent, gotta add scent. /s
she’s a little creepy...
“with government backing, I could make it very silly”
How true that is ...
Yoo-hoo, what say you Laz?
Why are these robots modeled after humans?
I don’t mean the ones meant to look like humans, for companioniship, etc. but Tte workers, made to be slave labor.
Why do the robots have 4 fingers and a thumb?
And two arms and two legs?
Why two eyes, in the front?
Well, the amoeba evolved, accidently, into that form, right?
And I would think that that accidental human ‘design’, could be improved my smart people.
More eyes. More optimal propelsion system. Different height and weight porportions. And so on.
Can it cook and clean?
