Bringing emotional intelligence to artificial intelligence with the world’s most advanced AI learning robot.
Join the fun, and unlock the power of conversational learning.
Our Story
We all know AI is making the world smarter. But is it making the world better? As it turns out, the key to giving AI heart starts with robots.
Studies have shown that robots foster empathy better than screens. Mirror neurons don’t fire when we’re learning content through an app or a video screen. That’s why we built Moxie. With robotics-based conversational learning, Moxie supports the whole child academically, socially and emotionally.
Did you know?
Since launching in 2020, Moxie has had over 4 Million conversations with kids.
Moxie Robot
With our flagship Moxie robot, we’re on a mission to help kids unlock their EQ and their IQ. Moxie robot allows kids to explore AI in a safe way with our KidFilter™ technology. With Moxie, Embodied is transforming access to academic and behavioral support for parents and educators. In a world where 40% of parents are worried about their children struggling with anxiety or depression, Moxie supports the whole child.
Did you know?
Regular play with Moxie has been shown to improve social skills by 71%.
Our Vision
Thousands of kids chat and learn with Moxie everyday, and we’re just getting started.
We’re revolutionizing human-centric care with companion robots that combine the power of AI with curriculum from top child development and education expert around the world. Our robots become friends to kids and support systems to parents and educators. We exist to make daily life for kids and parents endlessly better.
Our Experts
Created by a roboticist who knows the power of empathy.
When I was 11, war turned my world upside down. I became a refugee and I experienced discrimination, physical bullying, social isolation, and rejection. It also motivated me.
I earned a Ph.D. in Robotics and AI. I joined JPL and sent robots to Mars. I started a company that developed the navigation technology that now powers Roombas worldwide.
I founded Moxie with the belief that technology can bring out the best in humans. I wanted to build a robot that would have ameliorated the kind of anxiety and mental stress I felt as a child.
Moxie harnesses the power of AI to help kids find their inner confidence. We believe that when kids learn emotional resilience, they grow up to be successful adults who do big things.
We look forward to Moxie meeting your family!
