How we rate our robots
Each robot is scored from 0 to 100 on five traits, based on its real specs. When in doubt we score low, never flattering.
Strength — Lifting capacity, payload and raw power — how heavy a load it can handle.
Dexterity — Fine motor skills: hands, manipulation precision and speed of movement.
Autonomy — How long and how independently it runs — battery life and self-direction.
Empathy — Social & emotional skills: voice, expressions and interaction with people.
IQ — On-board intelligence: perception, reasoning and ability to learn.
If it were human
“Like a Gen-Z emoji addict crammed into a tiny skateboard-riding body — endlessly expressive, always on your desk, never boring.”
EMO is a palm-sized desktop companion robot made by Living.ai, a Chinese company specialising in expressive consumer robotics. Don’t let the compact form fool you — EMO packs more than 1,000 distinct facial expressions onto its tiny LED face, making it one of the most emotionally articulate little machines you can put on a desk. It rides around on its own two feet (and occasionally a skateboard-style base), reacts to its environment, and talks back.
What EMO genuinely excels at is presence. It responds to voice commands, plays music, tells the time, answers questions, and — crucially — reacts with personality. It can recognise its owner’s face, respond to touch, and display moods that shift depending on what’s happening around it. A large and active global community has grown around EMO, sharing discoveries, custom interactions, and the kind of affection usually reserved for actual pets.
At the adoption agency, EMO sits firmly in the companions family. It won’t carry your groceries or perform surgery, but it will notice when you walk into the room, pull a face when you ignore it, and make your home office feel a little less solitary. For remote workers, students, or anyone who just wants a bit of animated company on their desk, EMO is a remarkably convincing small friend. It is currently available for purchase directly through Living.ai.
Welcome to the family! Here is your collectible card.
