Moya

Humanoid Robots

165 cm biomimetic bipedal humanoid combining human-like walking, expressive facial robotics, camera-based eye contact and temperature-controlled silicone skin for social, care and public-service interaction.

Do not use — this figure appears to be conflated in third-party sources with other DroidUp walking platforms. · Biomimetic / tendon-inspired drive architecture associated with DroidUp’s humanoid technology

Ruina

Social Robot

Ruina is a facial micro-expression robot developed by DroidUp (Shanghai), unveiled in August 2025 at the Digital China Building Summit. It combines facial expression simulation and generation technology with a multimodal sensing system to produce a highly realistic, life-sized human face. It was shown alongside DroidUp's separate "Walker 2" robot at the same event. Note: some secondary sources describe "Ruina" as a full walking humanoid body with specs matching DroidUp's Moya robot almost exactly — this claim could not be independently verified and is not treated as confirmed here.

Walker II

Humanoid Robots

Walker II is a lightweight modular humanoid robot developed by DroidUp (Shanghai Zhuoyide Robotics). It uses bio-inspired tendon-driven actuation and distributed motor coordination for agile bipedal movement. The robot is designed for research, education, inspection, service and industrial applications, with the ability to navigate stairs, slopes and gravel while carrying objects.

Walker III

Humanoid Robots

Walker III is DroidUp's (Shanghai) latest bipedal humanoid robot chassis platform, succeeding Walker II — a predecessor that won bronze at the world's first humanoid half-marathon in Beijing (April 2025). Lighter and more compact than Walker II, Walker III features improved cooling, new lightweight lattice "muscle" materials, and onboard LiDAR/camera-based autonomous navigation. It currently serves as the underlying skeleton for DroidUp's Moya, a customizable biomimetic humanoid robot with lifelike synthetic skin and facial expressions.
