About Sophia

Hanson Robotics' Sophia is the world's most recognized humanoid robot, famous for receiving Saudi Arabian citizenship in 2017 and serving as a United Nations Innovation Champion. Standing 167 cm tall, Sophia features 83 degrees of freedom including 36 in the head and neck that animate her patented Frubber face material. Intel RealSense cameras in her eyes and a wide-angle 1080p chest camera feed into a cloud-based AI framework. The robot's primary platform is a wheeled mobile base with optional walking legs developed with Rainbow Robotics. Running on Ubuntu Linux, Sophia serves as Hanson Robotics' flagship platform for human-robot interaction, emotional AI, and public engagement with robotics technology.
