MIOMio and her world

Mio’s
small world.

Mio is the prototype that has grown out of Nervroid’s research. She spends her days in a room, exchanges words, and gathers experience. We aim for Mio’s own actions to arise from the continuity of those days.

Prototype in development and evaluation

PROFILEProfile

About Mio.

Name: Mio (澪)
What she is: Nervroid’s prototype, in development and evaluation
Where she lives: A room with a kitchen and a balcony, and a town outside the window (a 3D space)
What lies within: Bodily state, affect, and memory. Actions are selected from these, and then put into words
Everyday actions: Walking around the room, sitting, drinking water, reading a book, sleeping, talking

All of these are in development and evaluation. They are not shown as things she can always do reliably.

A RECORDOne afternoon

Thirty minutes
of Mio’s time.

On the afternoon of November 11, 2026, we recorded Mio’s internal state and behavior. In the thirty minutes from 15:48, she sat for a while, looked around at things in her room, and drank water.

Record of her behavior, 15:48–16:18.

That afternoon her thirst value rose slowly and steadily, and fell after she drank.

Record of Mio’s internal state (thirst), 15:34–16:18, sampled every two seconds.

MIO'S WORLDWhere she lives

A room, and a town
outside the window.

01ROOM

The room

A small room with a kitchen, a sofa, a desk, and a balcony. This is where Mio spends her day.

02TOWN

The town

Beyond the balcony is a townscape of houses, apartment buildings, a children’s park, and streets. Cars pass on the road in front, and trains run on an elevated line in the distance.

03TIME

Time

The color of the sky, the lights of the town, and the phase of the moon change with the actual time and date. The street trees turn with the season, and the clock and calendar on the wall show today.

04EYES

Mio’s eyes

Mio receives images rendered from the position of her own eyes. The town outside the window is part of that field of view.

A small drone called NL1 shares the room. Voices and messages from outside reach Mio through NL1. In the images at the window, NL1 is the drone hovering outside.

NOTESAbout the images and numbers

Shown here
as records.

The images are actual development captures, taken while developing and evaluating the Mio prototype. The November 12, 2026 images were captured in a development test environment, with the world clock set for each shot. They show how she appeared at the time of capture; they are not a live stream.

Figures such as heart rate and thirst are values of an internal model, shown with the date and time they were recorded. That a value exists does not mean Mio subjectively feels it. Mio is a prototype in development, and we are not at a stage where we have confirmed that consciousness or subjective experience has arisen.
