Inspired by human anatomy and aesthetics, the Furhat Robot is the result of years of research into social and conversational humanoid robots.

Designed for human social interactions

Robots need to see, hear, speak, and express themselves as naturally as humans can. Furhat is designed for human social interactions using a multimodal system with discrete modular subsystems that handle functions such as facial animation, neck motion, visual perception, audio processing, cloud service integration and other operations that allow it to interact with humans just as we interact with each other.

Fully customizable appearance and behavior

One of Furhat’s very unique features is its simple and powerful back-projection technology. The projection is cast onto replaceable polymer masks that give Furhat it's human-like appearance.The combination of facial animation and swapable masks make it very easy to create expressive robot characters with any ethnicity, age and gender.

Adaptable Mask

Furhat's polymer mask is designed with human curvatures that allow it to display human facial elements of any size and shape, including eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, lips and more.

Behavior Controll

Built in gestures such as blinking, smiling, nodding and other micro eye, mouth and head gestures that can be fully automated or controlled individually.

Facial Animations

Real time high-fidelity rendering of dynamic facial expressions and lip-syncing through a smart a back-projected 3D graphics engine.

Head Motion

Neck joint and rotation platform that allows Furhat to move its head with 3 degrees of freedom, including panning, tilting and rolling.

Multi-user face and position tracking

Furhat has a wide field of view camera integrated with computer vision to track multiple users in real-time, do facial expression analysis, estimate head pose and user distance. This includes a highly accurate face detection system based on state-of-the-art deep learning (single-shot-detector) model, depth estimation, and spatial modelling.

Fluid conversations with NLU Engine

Furhat is designed for natural conversations with rapid turn-taking. You have detailed controls for managing initiative, turn-taking, interruptions, error handling and priming the speech recogniser for expected utterances. You can also fully automate conversations and design interactions with our LLM-driven FurhatAI tools.

ASR and TTS

Furhat is integrated with leading speech recognition and voice synthesis providers including Microsoft Azure, Amazon Polly and Elevenlabs with over 200 voices available in 120 languages and dialects.

Multi-Array Mic

The robot comes with built in omnidirectional microphones and an an external USB microphone array with noise cancelation and direction of arrival. You can also plug in any microphone to the USB-jack in the back of the robot.

HiFi Speakers

Powerful stereo speakers allows the robot to be heard in noisy environments and have louder presence.

RGB Led Ring

Enables a silver lining effect, allowing the robot to signal a presence out of the container of its body, further increasing its presence in a space when needed

Code with Kotlin and other languages

Build interactions in Kotlin or use other programming languages with the Remote API. Furhat comes with a powerful set of programming tools for researchers, educators,  developers, and students.
