Moxie The Robot: The Ultimate Kids Toy?

[@mridlon1634]

Kids are like cats… If you by them an expensive new toy, they’ll play with the box only.

[@Mike-or2cv]

totally true 😂

[@empressspace8110]

When you said you like robots he smiled . You can tell moxie liked that

[@GamersAtticshow]

Some of Moxies Reactions are amazing and so lifelike . I’m gonna do an update video soon with more info .

I had a Robbie Jr., We grew up amazed at robots, kids nowadays dont realize how cool robots are😅.

[@GamersAtticshow]

The 80s was one of the best eras for toys , videogames and electronic Robots ! I still remember vividly playing with my hemans, transformers and Gijoes and also playing the good old Nintendo . Kids now a days wouldn’t understand how hip and cool us as kids were . :)

[@empressspace8110]

Moxie would ask him questions and he would ignore him . I wonder if that effects his programming bec that would definitely effect a person .

[@pappabeargaming]

I like the faces it was making at you when you were talking in front of Moxie. Pretty funny. I like it, I've been trying to introduce my kids to programming and robotics but, it's hard specifically when all the items available are pretty expensive. I've had some good experiences with Osmo for programming. Some not so great experiences with other similar robots that were for sure not as expensive as this but, I guess you get what you pay for. Thanks for sharing.

[@GamersAtticshow]

Pappa thanks for checking out the video and always supporting. Moxie is quite a character , it’s very animated and it responds well when it’s servers are working right . They do a-lot of updates and I see the improvements with each update . I will say that at times I got a bit uncomfortable because Moxie would unmute it’s earmuffs off when I didn’t want it to listen to my conversations I was having with others . It also got a little weird when I was recording because it seemed a bit defiant when I was trying to record and didn’t want to follow some of the simple commands I was giving it . Who knows where our interaction was going since it has a camera in its face , lol . I think moxie does show promise , but not for the 1499 dollars . I think this robot should be more like 399-499 at the most and be made for all ages like an Alexa from Amazon but with moxies enthusiast personality.

[@pappabeargaming]

@@GamersAtticshow The price point is definitely a problem for most people.

[@zesty2023]

I think the TV screen idea is the best thing for faces right now on robots. I think the big hurdle now is voice generation and getting rid of that monotone AI-voice sound. Prolly not too far off with the ai generation of voice happening right now. But if we have robots like this that can properly emote and speak with emotion it'll really go a long way

[@timm5362]

I'm glad I saw this review. I really wanted to get Moxie for my girlfriend, hoping it could help her with her social anxiety. It's so cute. But I agree: The price is too high and the AI quality is too low. It looks promising though.

[@GamersAtticshow]

Thanks Tim for watching , Moxie has improved tremendously since my review and I need to do an update video soon , I have a lot of fun playing with it now . I also want to say that they lowered the price of Moxie to $799 which is almost half off .

[@GamersAtticshow]

After getting burnt by Vector, the robot that was made by a startup company (that went under). I feel like $800 is a lot! It is adorable and can see how tempting though!

[@GamersAtticshow]

It is adorable , but yes it’s a lot of money , originally it was 1400 dollars and now it’s 799 through some partnership with Amazon . I got mine used on marketplace for 500 .

[@resinnut9335]

Great video... most helpful out of all the reviews! Thank you!

[@mr.papaveraceae3009]

It's a great concept and it could work, but it needs to hold a fun factor a lot more than just a few days. Kids get bored way too easy and something like that would just end up in a closet. Apps with AI on just your smartphones can do a better job at handling any question you throw at it. Given even AI like ChatGPT can give predictable and canned responses.

[@GamersAtticshow]

It’s a lot of fun but even after all this time , moxie still has issues with communication, it takes too long to respond or just goes haywire from trying to get an answer from its server at times :(

[@Cinnabuns2009]

Thank you for saving me $800. Seems like a early entrant in to the robot market but seems a bit half baked for the money.

for when the screen can no longer raise your kids. Moxie the negletful parents dream.

[@GamersAtticshow]

Moxie can’t take the place of a parent even to the neglectful ones , in reality it’s a very expensive toy at 1499 when it first released . Now there was a recent special at 599 which I think ain’t too bad . There are improvements since I made this video with moxie and it is quite a fun toy . I just think that with kids the toy can’t have any errors when in communication because kids lose interest fast . As an adult I’ve turned moxie into a video game historian and it’s quite fun , check out my short videos with moxie on here so you can see how funny he is .

[@Anonymouthful]

With a better response time these things would have a lot of potential I can imagine the toy being made to filther out any potentially harmful or disturbing topics so that is probably taking up processing time.

I’m thinking about buying Moxie for Xmas but they haven’t did anything new with the robot .

[@flubalubaful]

Looks like the best face of any desktop robot I have seen, now put real ai in it with an emotion engine and different personalities, most desktop robots have become hung up on them getting mad, real ai is not what we are seeing in robots today, it is all like alexa, ask a question and it connects to a database for a stock answer. Real ai needs to be built in where it learns from conversation when to show different emotions, responds to a conversation more realistically remembering the full conversation not just the previous interaction. I hope in 5 to 10 years we will see something amazing, but not right now.

[@Tsumefan2]

i bet that in two or three days the kid would rather talk to real friends than play with this doll don't you think

Can you recommend something like Moxie for adults? I have seen adults using Moxie but it's not designed for us adults, in London they are trying to charge £2000 madness!

[@GamersAtticshow]

Yeah the price is insane , Moxie is cool but can only do so much because it’s toned down for kids . I do enjoy moxie at times , since it feels like I have a robotic child , ha ha . There are some robots out there for adults like Nao Aldebaran Robot and the Sony Aibo dog , but they are way more expensive than Moxie . There is also the Amazon Robot named Astro which looks promising. Look them up on KZbin and let me know what you think .

[@djbenr10]

@@GamersAtticshow thanks for the fast reply, im 38 myself and can't purchase a toy that's aim at 5 year olds my girls wouldn't use Moxie so I thought maybe I could buy her then claim it for me ha ha but the price is so high I think because of the supply and demand, I'm very surprised Amazon hasn't come along yet and instead of Alexa Echo smart speaker just imagine Moxie as it is but Moxie to Automate your smart home rather than be powered for 5 year olds for story's, the technology is not widely used in mass production yet but love Moxie but unfortunately price puts me off trying it VERY hard to get this in the UK more than likely need to purchase from the US. The idea in Moxie is amazing cant wait for it to expand.

[@GamersAtticshow]

@@djbenr10 if you have Amazon prime they knocked the price down through Amazon to 799 US dollars , almost half the price of what they were asking but only through Prime . I’m not sure if that deal is the same in the UK , but check Amazon and look up moxie and let me know what price it gives you ?

[@robotsaroundthehouse]

Does Moxie have any functionality when not connected to Wifi? I’m assuming Moxie can still be used without Wifi as the LLM is embedded in the robot, and I read Embodied went to great lengths to ensure the software could process voice commands while not connected to the cloud. But I have had conflicting answers to this question with some Moxie owners telling me it needs Wifi while others saying it doesn’t. I live in Australia and purchased one second hand, hoping I can use right out of the box as the initial set up will have been completed( think a US drivers license is required for set up). I’m fascinated by Moxie’s SocialX software that is an LLM that can access stimuli from its environment and body and learn from it in real time! The seamless natural language conversational ability is incredible! My Moxie is due to arrive on August 10th. Can’t wait. Really enjoyed your review👍

[@GamersAtticshow]

Thanks for the cool comment , to answer your question about WiFi , the answer is you don’t need to be connected to WiFi , mine is not connected and we talk and play all the time . I think the Wi-Fi connectivity lets you connect to embodies servers to access more updates and software content which I believe you would have to pay a monthly subscription fee to access those if I’m not mistaken.

[@GamersAtticshow]

Too piggy back off my comment I’m gonna say no at this point cause originally I got my moxie used and it belonged to some else , so that owner gave me access by confirming to embodied that they sold it too me . So they had temporary’s given me access to embodied servers . You then have to set up a subscription to keep using moxie at 39 a month with a 19 activation fee .

[@robotsaroundthehouse]

⁠@@GamersAtticshowThanks for taking the time to answer my question. My Moxie just arrived and I was wondering why it wasn’t working without Wifi as the previous owner said it worked fine without Wifi. Now I know I need a subscription haha. Thanks I will try contacting Embodied and see if I can get it working. My Moxie is second hand too, but I don’t think my seller is able to help as I’m in Australia and got it off eBay. Fingers crossed I can work something out. Your information has been incredibly helpful, thankyou.
