On Sunday I spoke with Hanson Robotics CFO David Chen about the start of mass production Robot Sophia`s younger sisters scheduled for May this year in China.
The launch of Sofia`s younger sisters on Kickstarter and product preparation for the mass market is another “small”, but thoughtful step towards the introduction of genoids into our daily life.
The 35-centimeter Sofia will be produced in the amount of 14000-23000 per year and is intended for use in primary and secondary schools, as well as in various educational programs. The main contingent – from 7 to 13 years old children, the field of knowledge – mathematics, an introduction to scientific disciplines and computer science.
