en.Wedoany.com Reported - China's Nubia AI pet robot iMoochi officially launched on July 17, priced at 1,699 yuan, with the cloud charging dock set priced at 1,778 yuan.

iMoochi is an emotional companion AI pet robot unveiled by ZTE at the 2026 Mobile World Congress (MWC26), targeting the emotional needs of urban solo dwellers, featuring a cute design and life-like interaction.

iMoochi supports tactile feedback, allowing users to trigger multi-dimensional responses such as head shaking, tail wagging, and vocalizations through actions like gentle head touches and continuous petting. The body features a fluffy exterior with a cloud-like touch. The robot has a personality development function, evolving a unique "character" and "life rhythm" over time, including behaviors like yawning, sensing hunger and temperature, and actively playing. It has a proprietary language system, using custom voice tones crafted by professional voice actors and "iMoochi language" (such as purrs and giggles) to avoid the uncanny valley effect of rigid human speech.

The iMoochi robot is available in three color options, with eyes capable of displaying different patterns. It is equipped with an OLED under-screen light-sensing system that automatically adjusts brightness.

iMoochi is equipped with 5 touch sensors and 1 six-axis inertial sensor, with built-in Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity, offering a battery life of 8 to 10 hours on a single charge.

The accompanying mobile app can record companionship time, display current emotional states, and save moments of interaction.
