The startup Droidup has introduced Moya, a humanoid robot characterized by warm skin and digital eyes, expected to begin service in locations like banks and museums by late 2026. Moya’s body temperature ranges from 32°C to 36°C, enhancing human interaction.

Its walking precision is estimated at 92%, allowing it to move in a realistic manner. Priced at 1.2 million yen (about $173,000), Moya is designed for roles in health, education, and commerce. Its advanced AI enables micro-expressions, marking it as the first complete biomimetic intelligent robot. Practical applications of humanoid robots are emerging, as shown by UBTech Robotics' contract for border inspections.
