“Silicon-Based Girl” Debuts in Shanghai as Moya, the World’s First Fully Biomimetic Embodied Intelligent Robot, Launches Globally

IT Home reported on January 31 that on January 30, Shanghai Zhuoyide Robotics Co., Ltd. unveiled Moya at the grand opening of its headquarters showroom in Zhangjiang Robot Valley—introducing what it describes as the world’s first fully biomimetic embodied intelligent robot.

Standing 1.65 meters tall and weighing roughly 32 kilograms, Moya features an eco-friendly silicone exterior designed to feel more lifelike. The surface includes temperature regulation, maintaining a warm 32–36°C range to better mimic human touch.

Moya’s head integrates 25 high-precision actuators capable of reproducing subtle facial micro-expressions. Across the body, it offers 16 degrees of joint freedom, with the company claiming its walking gait reaches a 92% similarity to human movement—supporting actions such as walking and climbing stairs.

For mobility and safety, Moya incorporates 3D navigation and pressure sensors to enable obstacle avoidance in unstructured environments. Its full-body elastic materials are designed to absorb impact, with the company stating they can reduce collision force by up to 90%.

On the intelligence side, Moya is powered by Zhuoyide’s in-house large language model, supporting multi-turn conversations and contextual memory. This allows the robot to adapt to user preferences and deliver more personalized, scenario-based interactions.

Positioned as a premium emotional companionship and service robot, Moya is expected to begin a limited presale in Q4 2026. The first batch of 50 units is planned with a price range of RMB 1.2 million to 1.5 million.

Zhuoyide also showcased other products at the event, including the Walker III (X3) robot, which features multi-sensor fusion positioning and dynamic obstacle avoidance—targeted for use cases such as guided tours and performances.
