This is Sophia. Hanson Robotics developed her for human-robot interaction. It can remember your face, has cameras in its eyes so it can recognize faces and make “eye contact,” and can also understand speech.

David Hanson, CEO of Hanson Robotics, said such robots can help people in areas of “healthcare, therapy, education, and customer service.” He predicts that in 20 years, humanoid robots will “walk among us.”
