Sophia
The world's most famous social humanoid robot, activated on February 14, 2016 by Hong Kong-based Hanson Robotics. Sophia can mimic facial expressions (60+), hold basic conversations, and recognize faces. In 2017, Sophia became the first robot to receive Saudi Arabian citizenship and was named the UN's first Innovation Champion. Sophia is a technology demonstrator — not a general-purpose robot — with pre-scripted dialogue augmented by a decision-tree chat system.
