Our Story
M2 Robots began during the pandemic. Dr. Moore, Harvard graduate with a PhD from Oxford and professional ballerina who has danced with the Zurich Ballet, Boston Ballet, English National Ballet, and Norwegian National Ballet, found that due to the isolation she couldn’t dance with other humans. But - robots don’t get COVID. So she decided to start dancing with a robot.
She has been invited to perform with robots at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Forbes Women's Summit in Abu Dhabi, WORLD.MINDS in Belgrade, World EXPO in Japan for the presidential delegation, Switzerland, Germany, Mexico, France, Romania, USA and more. This led to collaborations with Louis Vuitton and features in TIME, Financial Times (FT), Vogue, BBC. Her interdisciplinary work earned her a spot in Forbes 30 under 30 and a position as an adjunct professor at NYU Abu Dhabi.
What began as a playful experiment — dancing with a robot in lockdown— quickly evolved into something deeply personal. Could machines embody not just motion, but emotion? She found that robots could become partners in memory, vessels of imagination, and tools to amplify her creativity. From this revelation, M2 Robots was born: where engineering meets elegance, and technology becomes a stage for wonder, feeling, and human expression.
