Sophia, the human-like robot from Hanson Robotics. |
Scroll down for video.
In the video below, you will see Dr. Hanson actually having a conversation with Sophia. You can see the changes in her expression as she speaks and it's pretty amazing to watch. According to Hanson Robotics, her lifelike skin is made from patented silicon whilst her looks are inspired by the late British actress, Audrey Hepburn and Dr. Hanson's wife.
Currently, only two teams are developing humanlike robots on the planet: Hanson Robotics and Hiroshi Ishiguro Laboratories.
But if you're worried that this robot might run amok like how the robots did in the famous "Terminator" movie franchise, Dr. Hanson said that they "are designing these robots to serve in health care, therapy, education and customer service applications" and not "destroy us".
Although that little joke in the end got us at the edge of our seats.
