Embodied Inc - Social Robot for Child
Development
Moxie is a
robotic companion for children. It can have
conversations, play games, tell stories, and
teach kids positive life lessons. It's cute
and friendly, and acts like a Disney-quality
animatronic you can place in your home.
I wrote various games and conversation
pattern rules to help Moxie interact in
natural ways with people.
UPDATE: All good things must come to an
end, and the Moxie servers have shut down. Moxie
is remembered very fondly by the children that had
one. For others, it will be remembered as "That
evil Teletubby toy in that MEGAN 2.0 movie."
Moxie's shutdown was also talked about on late
night TV on Taylor Tomlinson's "After Midnight"
show.
