Mobo: The Interactive Home Robot Engaging Families Through Dance and Assistance

At the 2026 World Robot Conference, Mobo, the first humanoid companion robot from Moja Robotics, showcased its unique ability to engage with people by dancing and interacting with children. Unlike traditional robots confined to static displays, Mobo actively moved through the crowd, creating a lively atmosphere of human-robot interaction. Mobo's significance lies in its design tailored for home environments, emphasizing its capabilities in understanding people and adapting to dynamic household scenarios. Equipped with a VLM visual language model, Mobo perceives and comprehends various stimuli, enhancing its ability to assist with daily tasks, schedule management, and reminders for family members. Looking ahead, Mobo is expected to enter mass production by the end of 2026, with plans for a simultaneous launch in domestic and international markets. This development marks a shift for Moja Robotics from commercial service robots to home companions, aiming to create a reliable assistant that understands and supports family life.
