A future vision of the most advanced robot maid is about to become a reality.
First introduced to the public in 2016, robot Sophia astonished the world. Not only does robot Sophia have the appearance of an adult woman, but she also possesses remarkable conversational abilities and astonishing expressions.
What made robot Sophia globally famous was her statement about “wanting to destroy humanity” delivered with a nonchalant attitude, which garnered significant media attention worldwide. Unlike soulless robots that only interact based on basic programming, robot Sophia is equipped with extraordinary artificial intelligence that rivals human intelligence.
