Sophia’s journey: The life and work of a humanoid robot

Sophia is one of the world's most expressive humanoid robots. Developed by Hong Kong-based Hanson Robotics and activated in 2016, it is still among the most sophisticated social robots ever built. Sophia has lifelike facial expressions and can talk with people through artificial intelligence (AI). As a robot ambassador, Sophia has been on a mission to promote AI and robotics around the world at conferences, in schools and online. Hanson Robotics is currently developing “Sophia version 58” and aims at some point to mass-produce Sophia-like robots.
