Starlife Bella
Last updated: November 2026
What Bella is
Starlife Bella is a humanoid service robot with a friendly face and a chest display. She greets people, answers their questions and takes them where they need to go, in more than 30 languages.
Bella is made by Starlife Technologies in the United States. She is a different robot from the Pudu BellaBot, which carries plates in restaurants. Read how the two differ.
A trained robot pilot controls Bella live from a laptop, with AI assistance. Bella is remote-controlled and not autonomous, which is why she can hold a real conversation.
