Mia compared to other projects
Mia is not the only android in the world. Here is what makes her different.
Industrial robots (Sophia, Ameca)
Approach
Big labs, massive budgets, pre-programmed expressions, conversational scripts
Mia
Mia: independent project, emergent cognition, adaptive expressions
InMoov
Approach
Open-source, 3D printing, large community, modular architecture
Mia
Mia: custom cognitive architecture, real-time perception-decision-action loop at 350ms
Companion robots (Pepper, Jibo)
Approach
Commercial interface, scripted interactions, no real expressive body
Mia
Mia: no scripts, emergent behavior based on perception and emotions
What makes Mia unique
✓
Real-time cognition — continuous perceive-decide-act loop every 350ms
✓
Adaptive expressions — reactions based on perception, not pre-programmed
✓
Integrated architecture — vision, brain, expressions, memory in a unified system
✓
Independent project — complete freedom over architecture and technical choices
✓
Embodied approach — the software is designed for an actual physical body
✓
Relational memory — Mia remembers people and adapts her behavior
✓
Réplicante — pas une machine utilitaire, mais un être artificiel conçu pour dégager une présence
