Sophia is a female social humanoid robot developed in 2016 by the Hong Kong–based company Hanson Robotics. [1] Sophia was activated on February 14, 2016, [ 2 ] and made her first public appearance in mid-March 2016 at South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas , United States. [ 3 ]
Some significant current robots include: Sophia is an autonomous robot [16] [17] that is known for its human-like appearance and behavior compared to previous robotic variants. As of 2018, Sophia's architecture includes scripting software, a chat system, and OpenCog, an AI system designed for general reasoning. [18]
Goertzel was the Chief Scientist of Hanson Robotics, the company that created the Sophia robot. [11] As of 2018, Sophia's architecture includes scripting software, a chat system, and OpenCog, an AI system designed for general reasoning. [12]

Vyommitra (Sanskrit: Vyōma "space", Mitra "friend") is a humanoid robot with appearance of a woman designed for space travel. It was designed at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Center in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala and developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to function aboard the spacecraft Gaganyaan, a crewed orbital spacecraft.
At longer time scales or with more sophisticated tasks, the robot may need to build and reason with a "cognitive" model. Cognitive models try to represent the robot, the world, and how the two interact. Pattern recognition and computer vision can be used to track objects. [50] Mapping techniques can be used to build maps of the world.
