About Evopien
Evopien is an independent companion and humanoid research project based in Tarragona, Spain. Its physical head now moves to follow a face, while local speech and vision support English and Spanish. Visual watches, spoken keyword counters and faster public-web lookup bring more useful interaction into reach. A separate governed-memory study spans 2,200 staged synthetic interactions and 98 simulated days; its latest weekly block passed 129 of 129 reviewed answers, alongside memory-state checks. The physical-presence and memory results are distinct recorded milestones.

Why this project
Conversation is only the surface.
The harder questions are what should be remembered, whose information it is, what the system is allowed to do, when continuity is real enough to claim, and how physical capability stays bounded by human authority. Evopien starts there.
How the work is approached
Document real milestones, failures, and limits instead of presenting future capabilities as finished.
Keep the long-term humanoid ambition large while making each immediate engineering claim narrow and testable.
Robotics, controls, safety, human-robot interaction, accessibility, cybersecurity, and regulation require dedicated external review.
Current reality
Foundation v1.2 remains the approved standard. The identity was created once with disclosed lineage, and human authority remains explicit. The moving head, local bilingual interaction and separate 98-day simulated-memory milestone show a companion taking shape through measured development.

v1.2 remains the approved and controlling standard.
ControllingThe head follows a person’s face during the current demo.
DemonstratedThe physical head follows a person’s face, with local speech and vision in English and Spanish. Visual watches, spoken keyword counters and faster public-web lookup extend the interaction. Read the latest physical-presence update.
Demo exercisedA separate study covers 2,200 staged synthetic interactions across 98 simulated days. Its latest weekly block passed 129 of 129 reviewed answers, alongside memory-state checks; read the memory milestone. The simulated-memory campaign has its own recorded timeline.
Day 98 simulatedWith gratitude
Seeed Studio supplied the reSpeaker Flex XVF3800 Circular-4 microphone, internal speaker, Orbbec Gemini 2 camera and 7-inch HDMI touchscreen for this stage. Their support makes it possible to develop a more tangible interaction around the governed-memory demo. The older reSpeaker Array was bought separately and is not part of the supplied hardware.
