A heartfelt thank you to all the remarkable speakers and attendees of the 6th Furhat Conference! The social robotics community coming together for a few hours to discuss what’s going on in the field is precisely what we envisioned for this event. #ai #conference2024 #robotics

Are you going to Techarenan 2024 in Stockholm? Meet us (and, of course, Furhat!) in the Experience Area from the 22nd to the 23rd of February. See you there!

Are you excited about Web Summit Qatar 2024 in Doha? Meet us at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC) at the QRDI booth. See you soon! #SocialRobotics #ConversationalAI #AIforBusiness #FutureTech #ArtificialIntelligence #HumanRobotInteraction #Chatbots

Great fun at TAHRI last weekend! We were delighted to catch up with the amazing Andrew McGregor, an expert in using robotics in the service of interspecies communication. 🤖TAHRI is over, it's time for The HRI Conference in Boulder! Let's go! #conversationalAI #tech #robotics

We were happy to see Antonio Andriella at #HRI The HRI Conference! Antonio has made significant contributions to social robotics exploring robot behavior and investigating how cheerful robots enhance human performance in games with Furhat! See you again soon, Antonio!

⚡️At the Uppsala Social Robotics Lab, Professor Ginevra Castellano, along with Maike Paetzel-Prüsmann (PhD), has been using Furhat to investigate how people react to robots with varying levels of realism and human-likeness. 💫 It was great seeing you, Ginevra, at The HRI Conference ! #SocialRobotics

Congratulations to Iolanda Leite of KTH Innovation on her latest research presented at The HRI Conference With Furhat, Iolanda explored whether an emotionally expressive robot teacher would be positively correlated with learning outcomes, and more. Great contribution to HRI!

Happy to see Sanne van Waveren The HRI Conference! In her research at KTH Innovation, Sanne used Furhat on multiple occasions to find out What gets people more discouraged to interact with technology—a smart speaker that fails or a humanoid robot!🚀Keep up the good work, Sanne!

We are very excited to be at Abundance360 with Peter H. Diamandis, MD, and showcase Furhat's ability to quickly switch between unique personalities powered by AI. Curious? Swing by our booth! See you there!

The Great AI debate has kicked off at the Abundance360 summit with some amazing discussions, including with the Godfathers of AI and Deep learning Ray Kurzweil and Geoffrey Hinton. It's an honour to be part of this amazing event and represent the future of social robotics 🚀

🚀Great to see Tom Ziemke at The HRI Conference! Tom's used Furhat studying robotics in therapy for older adults and explored their perception of the Furhat robot. Tom's latest work studies how long-term interaction experience with automated shuttle buses shapes cyclists' attitudes.

Are you going to Breakit AI Day tomorrow? Our Product Manager Nils Hagberg will be there with Furhat, make sure to chat them up if you see them 🤖💁

The 7th Furhat Conference on Social Robotics is coming. Join us to meet thought leaders in humanoid robotics! 📲 Location: Online 📅 Date: Tuesday, June 4th 🕓 Time: 4:00-5:30 PM CEST (10:00-11:30 AM EST) Register: furhatrobotics.com/the-7th-furhat…

Only 3 weeks left! Meet and engage with thought leaders and practitioners in the in the field of humanoid robotics, and contribute your opinion on humanoid robotics at the 7th Furhat Conference. Register here: furhatrobotics.com/the-7th-furhat…

The UCLA Phonetics Lab Archive (archive.phonetics.ucla.edu) is one of the first massively multilingual speech corpora w/ audio from >300 languages. Tomorrow we’ll be presenting the VoxAngeles Corpus with audited phonetic transcriptions and alignments for ~100 languages #lreccoling24

Excited to have Jeff Burnstein as a speaker at the 7th Furhat Conference. Together with Furhat CEO, he will discuss the evolution of humanoids over the past 30 years, the hype cycles of technology, and more! Sign up here: furhatrobotics.com/the-7th-furhat…

"Great job knowing that, Gabriel" aka a robot trolls his creator. Sneak peak: We’re making exciting progress with multiparty support in LLMs. Using microphone arrays and face tracking, an LLM can manage a group interaction with regular prompting. Works quite well as you can see.

New office. Big things are happening. Furhat moves to a new headquarters, with a space 5x than our previous one, where we plan to build robot experience labs open to the public. More details later.

Trivia. It's summer in our Swedish offices, and many of us are already relaxing and off work, but our robots know no rest and continue to speak in different places in the world. Furhats have performed around 60,000 interactions globally!

Customization. The Furhat robots are famous not only for the charming wink, and returning a smile when they see you. They are also known for their customizability, enabled by a face almost literally made of light. The face is created by the robot’s back projection system.
