Sophia is a social humanoid robot developed by Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics. Cameras within Sophia's eyes combined with computer algorithms allow her to see. It can follow faces, sustain eye contact, and recognize individuals. It is able to process speech and have conversations using a natural language subsystem. She is world's most famous robot.

In 2019 Hanson is releasing a her little sister. Even though this Sophia is little, she’s actually a sophisticated AI and robotics research platform, for scientists (and you) to make robots smarter and help people even more, in a growing quest for AI for Good!

Little Sophia currently serves Hanson Robotics’ own AI research, but will soon be available to come into your home and AI labs around the world.

A nice conversation with Sophia and Michael Cook of Cognizant, who brought Sophia to CIODAY 2018.
