Sophia ( A social humanoid Robot with Saudi Arabian Citizenship )

Sophia is a humanoid robot developed by a company named Hanson Robotics in Hong Kong. She is a female robot. Sophia was activated in the month of February on 14 in the year 2016. She can display more than 60 facial expressions. She is the first Robot to get Citizenship of any country. She has the Saudi Arabian Citizenship. David Hanson is the inventor of the Sophia The humanoid Robot. Sophia is made using Artificial Intelligence. She runs on a software and could answer on certain types of questions. She is created to display the demo of the upcoming Technology. She cannot take any decision. She only runs on specific commands.If you want to know about Artificial Intelligence. Click here.

Sophia is modelled after the ancient Egyptian Queen Nefertiti. Sophia is known for her human-like behaviour and appearance as compared to previous robotic variants. Do you know that Sophia voice is as same as Google Assistant app in your smartphone. Google is also known as Sophia's parent company. Sophia is becoming smarter over and time and new features are updated in Sophia can also sing with the help of Cereproc's text-to-speech engine. Sophia is a social robot and is created to take care of elder people at home. In the upcoming days Sophia will be able to interact with people and help them.

Sophia is a well known humanoid robot and she is updated regularly. She has covered over hundreds of interviews with interacting with people. She has travelled across whole world. She can sing a song, tell a story, she can talk in many languages and many things she can do. She is a example of the future of robots. Once in a interview, she told something that is unbearable for humans. One generalist asked that, " Do you want to destroy humans " than she said ," Ok, I will destroy humans. " After this incident, many software upgradations held. After this interview, many people asked it to Sophia, but she told nothing related to it and start singing song. I will provide you the video below it.

                   

Sophia has a group of nine robot humanoid "siblings" who were created by Hanson Robotics. This fellow Hanson Robots are :

Alice : She is a female robot and has an emotionally expressive face. She has only her head not full body. She was developed in 2008 for MIRA Labs in Geneva, Switzerland.She is the part of the INDIGO cognitive robotics consortium and act's to serve cognitive robotics research at the University of Geneva, where Hanson Robotics is a founding member.

Professor Einstein : Professor Einstein is a robot developed by Hanson Robotics in the year 2016. It was the first robot which becomes available for consumers or normal people. It was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show ( CES ) in Las Vegas in January 2017. Professor Einstein robot was became firstly available for consumers or normal people in the month of January in the year 2017. It was later available on Amazon and other popular online stores. It is used as a tool to teach students from the age of 8-13. It can teach science to students, it can check weather or access information on the internet and can tell jokes. Different motors present in the robot helps him to give different facial expressions.
