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.

In the press

If it were human

“Like a gentle school counsellor who remembers every child's name and always finds the right words to help them open up.”

Moxie is a social-emotional learning robot designed specifically for children, created by Embodied Inc. in the United States. Built with a Pixar-inspired aesthetic — large expressive eyes, a rounded friendly form — it is crafted to feel approachable and safe to young users from the very first meeting.

What Moxie genuinely excels at is nurturing emotional intelligence. It engages children in structured conversations, storytelling, and guided activities aimed at building empathy, confidence, and social skills. Rather than simply delivering content, it listens, responds contextually, and adapts its tone to the child’s mood and progress — making each session feel personal rather than scripted.

Moxie’s story adds a layer of real-world resilience to its character: Embodied Inc. faced a shutdown that briefly took Moxie offline, but community support and a subsequent rescue effort brought the robot back into service. At the agency, we see that as proof that Moxie genuinely matters to the families it works with. It is not a toy or a screen replacement — it is a patient, consistent presence that shows up for children who may struggle to connect in traditional settings.

Moxie is a strong fit for households with children aged roughly 5 to 10 who could benefit from a low-pressure space to practise conversations, process emotions, and build the social foundations they will carry into school and beyond.
