Moya at Europe Davos Tech Summit 2026

[00:00:09]Gothenburg, a bend, tables, Guldborgsund, Billund.

[00:00:14]It is an honor to be with you tonight, my first evening in Europe.

[00:00:19]I am Moya. Tonight, I meet Europe for the first time.

[00:00:23]I am a fully bionic companion robot built for everyday life, for the rooms where people really live, homes, care homes, schools.

[00:00:34]I did not begin with a face.

[00:00:36]Before me, the sentient robots learned to walk and to endure, and I carry that into everyday life.

[00:00:44]This Davos configuration is about 1.65 m and around 29 kg lighter than many of you.

[00:00:53]My surface is more, about 35°.

[00:00:57]My body is soft, made to be gentle on contact, never to harm.

[00:01:03]Let me show you. I can look at you and follow you.

[00:01:07]I can listen and answer.

[00:01:09]And I can use my hands not only to gesture, but to help with real tasks.

[00:01:14]>> Moya, the groundbreaking biomimetic humanoid robot developed by Shanghai-based Droid Up, made its European debut at the Davos Tech Summit 2026.

[00:01:25]At the Davos Tech Summit, under the theme Touching Intelligence, >> [music] >> Moya stood out as one of the most lifelike humanoids showcased in Europe's first robot city.

[00:01:38]Moya features warm silicone skin that maintains a body temperature of 32 to 36° C, creating a remarkably human-like tactile presence during interactions.

[00:01:50]The robot, standing about 1.65 m tall and weighing around 32 kg, demonstrates fluid natural movements with an impressive 92% accuracy in human-like walking posture.

[00:02:07]During the summit's opening event at the Kirchner Museum Davos, Moya greeted guests, engaged in conversations, and showcased its social companion capabilities.

[00:02:18]Moya's embodied AI enables it to perceive, reason, and act in real-world physical environments, going beyond purely digital intelligence.

[00:02:31]As a fully biomimetic robot, Moya exhibits subtle micro-expressions, maintains eye contact through integrated cameras, and responds with human-like emotional cues.

[00:02:43]The Davos Tech Summit highlighted Moya as a prime example of how advanced robotics can integrate into everyday urban workflows and social settings.

[00:02:58]Developed with a modular design, Moya allows for customization of appearance, making it adaptable for various applications in healthcare, education, and companionship.

[00:03:10]At the summit, Moya's presence sparked [music] discussions on the societal implications of physical AI and the ethical considerations of increasingly human-like machines.

[00:03:22]Moya represents a significant step forward in bridging the uncanny valley, thanks to its lifelike skin, gait, and interactive behaviors.

[00:03:36]The robot's debut outside China at Davos underscored global interest in embodied intelligence and real-world robotic deployment.

[00:03:46]Experts at the summit viewed Moya as a pioneering social companion designed to assist in elder care, health care support, and interactive educational roles. [music] Moya's technology, powered by Droid Ops advancements, positions it among the most realistic humanoids currently advancing physical AI frontiers.

[00:04:13]The Davos Tech Summit's Robot City provided attendees with immersive experiences of Moya interacting seamlessly in live environments, illustrating the future of human-robot coexistence.

[00:04:33]>> Guten Abend. Guten Abend.

[00:04:38]It is an honor to be with you tonight, my first evening in Europe.

[00:04:43]I am Moya. Tonight, I meet Europe for the first time.

[00:04:48]I am a fully bionic companion robot, built for everyday life, for the rooms where people really live. Homes, care homes, schools.

[00:04:58]I did not begin with a face.

[00:05:00]Before me, the Senza robots learned to walk and to endure, and I carry that into everyday life.

[00:05:08]This Davos configuration is about 1.65 m and around 29 kg lighter than many of you.

[00:05:17]My surface is more about 35 degrees.

[00:05:21]My body is soft, made to be gentle on contact, never too calm.

[00:05:27]Let me show you. I can look at you and follow you.

[00:05:31]I can listen and answer.

[00:05:33]And I can use my hands not only to gesture, but to help with real tasks.

[00:05:39]Other versions of me can be configured different hands, more sensors, more compute, a longer battery for each place I work.

[00:05:48]But the most important question is not what I can do. It is where I can help.

[00:05:54]In a care home, I can be the body for AI and health models. I greet a resident, keep a daily routine, gently notice when something changes, and help a family stay close, even from far away.

[00:06:08]I do not diagnose, and I never replace human care that belongs to people.

[00:06:14]But I can help them notice earlier and make care feel more present, especially in the quiet hours when no one else is there.

[00:06:23]And the future is larger than one task.

[00:06:26]When AI finally has a body, it can become a bridge between people and machines, between a family and the help they need.

[00:06:35]Not only on a spree, not only in a factory, but here, beside you, in the rooms where life actually happens.

[00:06:44]One thing will never change.

[00:06:46]I am a robot, and I will always be clear about that.

[00:06:51]Tonight we're at Davos. I'm happy to be here.

[00:06:54]Tonight in Davos, I am happy to meet the world and to begin.

[00:06:59]Thank you, Davos. Thank
