Sophia
Developed by the Hong Kong-based Hanson Robotics and Ben Goertzel’s SingularityNET, Sophia is the most advanced humanoid robot in the world.
In 2017 Saudi Arabia granted Sophia the status of citizen, making her the world’s first robot citizen. She was also nominated first robot Innovation Ambassador for the United Nations Development Programme.
A unique combination of science, engineering, and artistry, Sophia is a platform for advanced robotics and AI research, particularly for understanding human-robot interactions and their potential applications. For example, she has been used for research as part of the Loving AI Project, which seeks to understand how robots can adapt to users’ needs.
She uses multiple AI modules to see, hear, and respond empathetically. Many of her underlying AI modules will be available open-source on SingularityNET, the decentralised marketplace for AI services whose goal is to fairly distribute the power of AI.
