How classification and status work

Category describes physical structure and function; wheels alone do not determine whether a robot is humanoid. Product stage describes demonstrated maturity. Commercial availability describes current access: a commercial product may still be limited to pilot customers. Neither stage nor availability alone proves that a product can be purchased. Unknown facts remain unknown.

Moxie is a social companion robot for children, launched by Embodied in 2020. It uses the SocialX platform and machine-learning technology to respond to conversation, eye contact and expressions. Through expressive speech, facial expressions and body language, it guides weekly missions, creative play, reading and mindfulness activities that practice empathy and emotional regulation. The Moxie Parent App and Global Robotics Laboratory child portal help families follow progress, discover new content and keep children’s interactions safe, structured and parent-approved at home.
