Why use Furhat?

Find out what makes Furhat one of the leading platforms for research

A robot with any age, ethnicity and gender

Furhat's unique combination of a back-projected 3D face engine and voice synthesis libraries from Amazon Polly, Microsoft Azure and ElevenLabs open up unlimited customization, including swapping masks, face textures and voices in 120 languages and locales.

Prompt interactions with Large-Language Models

If you have no prior robotics coding experience you can use FurhatAI Creator to prompt and customize expressive robot characters for automated interactions. Add context, knowledge sources, analyse the robot's environment with image-to-text, log data, and more.

Build and test interactions on your desktop

Furhat SDK comes with a very powerful suite of tools allowing you to create, debug, deploy and analyse your applications on your desktop. Build interactions with Blockly or any other programming language. Seamlessly switch between the physical Furhat robot and the virtual Furhat simulator.
