Embodied is at the bleeding edge of the companion robotics industry, building Moxie Robot, a first-of-its-kind AI companion designed to support SEL (social-emotional learning) for both neurotypical and neurodiverse kids ages 5-10. Designed by a team of child development and education experts in collaboration with expert roboticists and neuroscientists, Moxie has unlimited patience and endless resources and includes rigorously tested kid-safe AI. Moxie helps fill the gap in the education system by using play-based learning and natural conversation to guide children through activities centered on themes like friendship, empathy, and respect.
