Creepy Little Sophia

Hanson Robotics is most famous for Sophia. Now the Hong Kong-based company is preparing to launch a new robot. According to the website, Little Sophia is the little sister of Sophia and the newest member of the Hanson Robotics family. „Little Sophia can walk, talk, sing, play games and, like her big sister, even tell jokes! She is a programmable, educational companion for kids, that will inspire children to learn about coding, AI, science, technology, engineering and math through a safe, interactive, human-robot experience. Unlike most educational toys designed by toy companies, Little Sophia is crafted by the same renowned developers, engineers, roboticists and AI scientists that created Sophia the Robot.“ (Website Hanson Robotics) In photos, Little Sophia looks even creepier than Sophia. In videos, this impression is no different. What is special about her is that she has a wide range of facial expressions. It must be emphasized that, as in the case of Sophia, this is not a virtual face, but a real one. From a technical point of view, this is without a doubt an interesting product.
