An Indian software engineer has developed a humanoid robot capable of speaking Hindi, Bhojpuri, Marathi and English. Ranjit Srivastava from the city of Ranchi, claims the robot is the world’s first Hindi speaking humanoid robot and India’s first lip-syncing robot. He developed the humanoid over the course of two years inspired by Sophia, the world’s first robot citizen. The footage, captured on August 25, shows the humanoid, called Rashmi, expressing gratitude to her creator Srivastava. Rashmi uses linguistic interpretation, artificial intelligence, visual data and facial recognition systems to act like a human.
