About Sophia

Sophia Utility combines Hanson Robotics’ expressive Frubber face with gestural arms, autonomous indoor mobility, conversational AI and a cognitive software development kit. The platform is designed for sustained human interaction rather than industrial payload handling.

Hanson offers it as an early commercial product for research, education, retail, healthcare pilots and events. Customers can purchase the robot or arrange custom programmes, while licensing options cover Sophia and Frubber intellectual property for organisations building related experiences.
