Sophia is being said to be the robot of the future.
Sophia has been taking over the internet by storm with her amazingly human like interaction since April of 2017. She was created to be a social robot with artificial intelligence software that Hanson Robotics has developed that allow her to process visual data. Fully capable of reading your facial expressions and knowing how to respond with the proper human like emotion.
Since Sophia was created to be a social robot she can process conversational data and emotional data which has allowed her to establish relationships. She has met with key decision makers across industries like banking, media and entertainment, property development and several others.
Here's a little snippet from an interview on Good Morning Britain
Her creator is David Hanson, and founder of Hanson Robotics.
Hanson believes his creations must be developed with three human traits (creativity, empathy and compassion ) and fused with artificial intelligence in order for humans and robots to grow, help and assist one another with environmental and military needs. With many projects underway, and robots left to be seen we are only left with our imagination to see what's next to come from this brilliant mind.
