summary
Hanson Robotics shows the humanoid Sophia with expressive faces, eye contact and a failed handshake; brain software uses OpenCog and a stated roadmap to self-modifying AI within 5–10 years. Company reports prior small therapy robots for autistic children and a new educational line launching next year. Claimed current roles: presenting, retail guidance, caregiving and eventually programming itself; the demo works for social cues but hardware still stumbles on physical interaction.
