We do not sell a machine. We design a state of tranquility. Everything KOIBOT makes serves one idea — the Embodied Affective Agent (EAA): intelligence that lives in a body, remembers with care, and grows with you. Amoria is that agent; ROLA is its first body.
Who we are
REON Robotics is an embodied AI company focused on bringing Embodied Affective Agents into everyday life through KOIBOT, Amoria, and a growing content and partner ecosystem.
KOIBOT is our master brand. ROLA is the affectionate name of KOIBOT’s first biomimetic humanoid AI robot — and the first physical platform to carry Amoria.
Amoria is KOIBOT’s Embodied Affective Agent: a persistent, relationship-oriented intelligence that orchestrates language, speech and vision capabilities to understand interaction context and respond through a physical body. It does not claim to read a person’s inner feelings; it observes interaction cues and adapts with care.
Users can manage and delete saved memories through the official mobile app. Initial commercial programs are designed primarily for adult users.
Leadership
REON Robotics is led by Leo Ryo and Joshua Zhang, bringing together cross-border business leadership, embodied-AI research, product engineering, and manufacturing execution. Their shared purpose is to turn emotional intelligence into physical products that can live naturally alongside people.

Joshua pioneers EAA productization — bringing Embodied Affective Agents into physical products people can live with — and leads technical execution, supply chain coordination, and scalable product operations so KOIBOT can move from design language to reliable customer delivery.
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 Ryo — Founder & CEO, Reon Robotics Co., Ltd.
Our Amoria — Embodied Affective Agent
REON Robotics brings emotional AI, embodied product design, character IP, evolving content, localization, and market partners into one coordinated platform.
Long-term memory, emotional recognition, appropriate expression, and adaptive interaction.
Designed in Japan, engineered in Shenzhen, and coordinated through our Hong Kong entity — one team working across three sites.
Working with character IP holders and channel partners to bring narrative, voice, and personality into physical products.
One partner across industrial design, AI integration, and hand-finished production — minimizing coordination overhead.
Global footprint
Design and brand in Tokyo, international sales and fulfillment in Hong Kong, production in Shenzhen — delivering to North America, Europe & the UK, Australia & NZ, the Gulf, and East Asia.
Company profile
Our story
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. KOIBOT is meant to be a long-term robotics brand — ROLA is where it begins, not where it ends.
Our Philosophy
KOIBOT focuses entirely on emotional companionship robotics. ROLA is built to bring peace, privacy, and lasting companionship into your living or working space, combining precise physical craft with local-first-by-design intelligence.
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.
We build ROLA around respect for your private moments. Sensitive interactions are designed to be handled locally first, the connection between your app and our servers is encrypted, and we never sell your personal information.
ROLA is a steadfast presence. Amoria is designed for emotional continuity that grows with you over time.
How we build
Three commitments shape every decision — from the silence of a single joint to the words ROLA chooses not to say.
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.
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.
Privacy is a starting condition, not a setting. Sensitive interactions are handled locally first, 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
ROLA is designed for homes first — a calm presence on a shelf, a desk, or a quiet corner — and just as at home in studios, showrooms, brand spaces, and private collections. The series spans an upper-body edition and a full-body edition, both built for indoor display and interactive ownership — not autonomous machines that roam the room.
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
KOIBOT treats embodied companion robotics as one discipline: motion, surface, voice, and presence composed together, built carefully and owned quietly.
What we believe
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.
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.
Sensitive interactions are designed to be handled locally first, communication is encrypted in transit, and personal information is never sold. Trust is not a setting you switch on — it is the starting position.
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
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
KOIBOT is the master brand of REON ROBOTICS CO., LTD., an embodied-AI company headquartered in Roppongi, Tokyo, bringing Embodied Affective Agents into everyday life. Japanese design discipline shapes every decision we make: restraint instead of noise, proportion instead of spectacle, and finishing you notice only when you look closely.
