About
About Moya
Moya is DroidUp's bipedal humanoid for social interaction in retail, education and other public-facing settings. A lifelike exterior, camera-based gaze and articulated facial mechanisms support eye contact, smiles and small expressions. Its warm outer surface is designed to make close interaction feel more familiar, while the underlying robot coordinates posture and movement.
The platform's application work centres on greeting people, conversation and expressive presence. In September 2026, Moya appeared at GUJIN's Huaihai Road flagship store in Shanghai in a reception and visitor-interaction role. An October visit to Shanghai Jiahua Kindergarten extended that work into classroom interaction. These activities illustrate a programme focused on adapting the robot's social presentation and behaviour to specific venues and audiences.
