ROLA
The character behind our first hardware product.
About KOIBOT
We exist to build an intelligence with a body.
REON Robotics exists to build the Embodied Affective Agent (EAA): an AI that lives in a body, keeps a relationship over time and responds with presence. Everything KOIBOT makes starts there and leads back there. AMORIA is our EAA. ROLA is its first body.
Who we are
Reon Robotics Co., Ltd.株式会社レオンロボティクス
KOIBOT is the brand of Reon Robotics Co., Ltd., Japan. Our work connects AMORIA, our embodied affective agent system, with character IP and ROLA companion robots. Through software development, character research and physical interaction, we explore how AI can offer appropriate companionship in specific situations. Design and brand development are based in Japan, with engineering and manufacturing in Shenzhen and international business coordination in Hong Kong.
Our mission is to start from a person’s real situation and develop appropriate companionship and support, helping people face everyday life and make their own choices.
AMORIA is not a model. AI models provide its capabilities; ROLA provides its body. It orchestrates language and speech models, keeps a continuous internal state and a long-term memory owned by the user, and responds to conversational cues through speech, pauses, gaze and expression.
ROLA is AMORIA's first body. ROLA One is the compact upper-body edition; ROLA Unity is the full-body edition. Both are stationary, designed for conversation, emotional interaction and presence, not mobility or physical tasks.
AMORIA does not claim to read inner feelings. It observes the cues people choose to share and adapts with care. Memory belongs to the user and can be reviewed and deleted through the official app. It does not replace human relationships, medical care or professional support. It is not used to evaluate people or in workplace or educational settings. For adults aged 21 and over; zero tolerance for sexual use.
Characters & research
Four characters. Different perspectives.
We begin with a person, a situation and a concrete need. Different characters provide focused contexts for research and evaluation; reusable findings inform the ongoing development of AMORIA.
Claire Reyes
The protagonist of our original short-drama series, CLAIRE.
Tachibana Sumino橘澄乃
Exploring responsibility, promises and relationship choices.
Morikawa Akari森川灯里
Exploring listening, understanding and emotional distance.
These are fictional characters and research directions, not validated outcomes or a claim that every character is available for live conversation or integrated with ROLA. BaZi and astrology are cultural or symbolic frameworks for reflection, not scientific prediction, diagnosis or treatment. Personal conversations are not automatically used for research training.

Founder’s Letter
“The future of robotics should not be colder, faster, or louder. It should be quieter, warmer, and closer to the human heart.”
Dear friend,
We live in an age of extraordinary technological progress. AI can now speak, see, reason and create at a scale that once seemed impossible. Yet as our digital connections multiply, many people still feel more alone than ever.
KOIBOT was created from a simple conviction: the future of AI should not be defined only by what machines can say, but by how they can exist alongside people. We are not here merely to make another complex machine. We are here to create a warmer kind of presence.
Our ambition is to bring Embodied Affective Agents into everyday life. AMORIA is not a single AI model or a chatbot placed inside a robot. It is the relationship-oriented intelligence that gives a character continuity, memory and a more thoughtful way to respond. ROLA is AMORIA’s first physical body — where intelligence becomes something people can see, hear and live with over time.
We believe this vision must be proven in the real world, not only in the lab. It must be shaped by Japanese aesthetics, craftsmanship and character; protected by user control; and made meaningful through time, trust and daily life. We do not claim to read a person’s inner feelings. We observe interaction cues and adapt with care, while saved memories remain under the owner’s control.
Our goal is not to replace human relationships. It is to build a new category of embodied intelligence that can grow across characters, bodies and cultures — and offer a quiet, respectful companion whenever the human world feels a little too noisy.
Thank you for believing that technology can become warmer, more human and more alive. Welcome to this journey.
Empathy is everything.Sincerely,
Leo Liang — Founder & CEO, Reon Robotics Co., Ltd.

Our story
We started with a quieter question.
Most robotics begins by asking what a machine can do. KOIBOT began with a different question: what it should feel like to share a room with one. The answer pointed away from louder, faster, and more capable — and toward something calmer, more considered, and easier to live with.
Companion technology today tends to optimize for engagement: notifications, streaks, the constant pull to come back. We think a presence in your home should do the opposite — ask for little, stay out of the way, and simply be there when it matters. ROLA is our first attempt to make that real: an embodied companion shaped around expressive presence, premium craft, and Amoria’s emotional intelligence.
We are a small team building deliberately, across Japan and China, with the patience that physical products demand. AMORIA is the purpose that guides KOIBOT; ROLA is its first body.
Our Philosophy
Quiet comfort, designed with intention.
KOIBOT brings AMORIA into everyday life through a physical body. The purpose is conversation, emotional interaction and presence, with privacy and user control built into the experience.
Tranquility
Composed, silent, and present. ROLA's actuators are engineered for near-silent motion, offering a soothing presence that does not demand attention, but shares your space as an anchor of calm.
Privacy by design
We build ROLA around respect for your private moments. Memory handling is privacy-aware and separated per user, the connection between your app and our servers is encrypted, and we never sell your personal information.
Lasting Companionship
ROLA is a steadfast presence. Amoria is designed for emotional continuity that grows with you over time.
How we build
Craft, intelligence, and restraint.
Three commitments shape every decision — from the silence of a single joint to the words ROLA chooses not to say.
Physical craft
ROLA is finished by hand and treated as a delicate robotic product, not a toy. Premium silicone surfacing, refined mechanics, and quiet actuation are engineered so the object feels considered the moment you meet it.
Emotional intelligence
Amoria gives ROLA continuity rather than cleverness — the ability to listen, remember what matters, and respond with warmth and timing. Intelligence here is measured by how natural the presence feels, not by how much it says.
Trust by design
Privacy is a starting condition, not a setting. Memory is separated per user, connections are encrypted, personal data is never sold, and clear boundaries keep ROLA a companion — not a replacement for people or professional care.
Where ROLA belongs
A presence for shared spaces and home.
Hotel front desks and concierge desks, boutiques and showrooms, senior-living lounges, private clubs, and home. ROLA remains where it is placed. Its role is conversation and presence, not mobility or physical tasks.
Wherever it sits, the intention is the same: to be felt before it is noticed, and to make the space around it feel a little more at ease.
The KOIBOT Standard
Built to a standard, not a spec sheet.
KOIBOT treats embodied companion robotics as one discipline: motion, surface, voice, and presence composed together, built carefully and owned quietly.
A New Design LanguageEmbodied AI companion robotics composed as a single discipline: motion, surface, voice, and presence.
Hand-Finished CraftPremium silicone finishing and hand-finished visual detail, inspected piece by piece before dispatch.
Careful EngineeringMechanical, electronic, and cosmetic inspection at every build stage, designed for quiet motion and display-ready ownership.
Privacy by designWe build ROLA around respect for your private moments, encrypted app-to-server communication, and a commitment to never sell your personal information.
What we believe
Principles we don’t compromise.
A companion robot earns its place over years, not minutes. These are the commitments we hold to even when they make the product harder to build.
Presence over performance
We do not measure ROLA by how many tasks it completes. We measure it by how a room feels with it in it — calmer, less alone, quietly attended to. Capability serves presence, never the other way around.
Privacy as the default
Memory is handled with user-specific data separation, communication is encrypted in transit, and personal information is never sold. Trust is not a setting you switch on — it is the starting position.
Ownership, not lock-in
When you bring ROLA home, it is yours. We design for long ownership — careful production, a 12-month hardware warranty, and support that treats the product as something meant to last, not to be replaced.
Design Philosophy
A robot should feel considered before it speaks.
Our design language is quiet, precise, and physical. KOIBOT robots are built to hold attention through form, material, movement, and interaction, without relying on novelty alone.
A Japanese brand
Designed in Japan. Finished by hand.
KOIBOT is the master brand of REON ROBOTICS CO., LTD., a Tokyo-based embodied AI company. AMORIA is our agent, ROLA its first body. Japanese design discipline shapes how that presence takes form, from proportion to finishing.
