Hanson Robotics -- Realistic Humanoid Robots

Our Mission is to Realize Friendly Super-Intelligent Machines

Hanson Robotics realizes biologically-inspired robots, that is, machines that behave like living creatures.
Specifically, we seek to model the behavior and movements of people in robots that act and react virtually
indistinguishably from their human counterparts. Our social robots are capable of mimicking not just human
emotions and facial expressions, but eye contact, face recognition, and naturalistic spoken conversation.
We feel that these devices can serve to help to investigate what it means to be human, both scientifically
and artistically.
