ergoCub vs Spirit AI Moz1

ergoCub is IIT and INAIL's research humanoid, standing 150 cm tall, weighing 55.7 kg, and designed to reduce physical strain on workers in industrial and hospital settings. Its strongest evidence is a peer-reviewed Nature Machine Intelligence figure showing collaborative payload lifting with a human and live walking on stage. Official IIT sources confirm the 2023 debut and ergonomic purpose, while secondary dossiers report about 10 kg load-bearing, NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier plus Intel i7 onboard compute, depth/LiDAR sensing, and research claims such as up to 43% energy reduction and DNN-driven locomotion. However, no battery, runtime, walking speed, total DoF, hand DoF, price, or customer deployment exists in the reviewed evidence; autonomy is mostly simulation-only or title-only

Spirit AI Moz1 is a Chinese wheeled humanoid with 26 DoF, dual 7-DoF force-controlled arms, and an omnidirectional base, running the Spirit VLA model. Evidence includes RoboBoom directory specs (160 cm, 70 kg, 3 h runtime, $150,000 price) and company-related demos of long-horizon room tidying from a single instruction, including a single-take video claimed to have zero teleoperation. Gasgoo reports Moz robots in JD.com retail settings for customer interaction. No official product page, official price, battery capacity, or independent endurance/autonomy verification was found; video titles for several demos are not transcribed. The CATL battery line deployment is attributed to Xiaomo, not Moz1, and must not be credited here
