As a social robot, she can see people\u2019s faces and react based on their expressions, she processes conversational and emotional data. She is a man made human being, as she is programmed to feel emotions and build relationships!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sophia is no stranger to the globe. She has travelled to over 65 countries. She is a Saudi Arabian citizen, marking the first ever robot citizen. Appearing on several international forums and even advocating for women\u2019s rights, she is now a cultural icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-will-sophia-be-a-part-of-our-lives\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_Sophia_be_a_part_of_our_lives\"><\/span>Will Sophia be a part of our lives?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>David Hanson, CEO of Hanson Robotics believes that robots like Sophia will become a part of our everyday lives. He thinks they will assist in day to day activities and decision making. Sophia is equipped with the right tools to make decisions as she has the power of memory, high emotional intelligence and the curiosity to learn. Through the means of AI and machine learning, over time she will get smarter as she learns more and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out this video to see how Sophia would deal with a moral dilemma:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"This Robot would let 5 People die | AI on Moral Questions | Sophia answers the Trolley Problem\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8MjIU4eq__A?start=208&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hanson-robotics-vision\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hanson_Robotics_vision\"><\/span>Hanson Robotics\u2019 vision<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hanson Robotics Lab wants to mass produce robots like Sophia. The team believes that it would be most beneficial to the elderly or lonely people as they can provide very humanised support. Researchers point out that robotics will have more applications alongside the COVID-19 pandemic. Robots could go out and buy your groceries and meals getting exposed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, the team designed a special prototype named Grace to interact with COVID patients in the hospital wards. Grace would go around interacting with lonely patients, providing therapy and could even take temperature with her built-in thermal camera!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Meet Grace, the humanoid robot designed to interact with the elderly and those isolated by the global health crisis <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QmICTkKsti\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/t.co\/QmICTkKsti<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nclTArYIrl\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/nclTArYIrl<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Reuters (@Reuters) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Reuters\/status\/1402880710310957057?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">June 10, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sophia-enters-the-metaverse\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sophia_enters_the_Metaverse\"><\/span>Sophia enters the Metaverse!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>100 unique iNFTs of Sophia in anime characters are being released in partnership with &#8211; beingAI in the metaverse.
