FAQ

• What can Furhat do?
  Furhat has the capability to interact with humans the way we interact with each other. Any scenario where communication is required, Furhat can potentially fill this gap. Ask questions, practice interviews, train your skills, play games or learn something new. The list is endless. The real question is perhaps what do you need? Connect with us and let us know about what interactions you are having today, and we can show what interactions you could be having with Furhat.
• Can I create new face animations and physical masks for the robot?
  Yes, you can use the library of faces and facial expression and if you have the technical know-how, you can create your own. We can also work with you to design new animations, as well as unique customized masks for the robot.
• Can the robot speak different languages?
  Yes, currently Furhat can speak ~40 of the world’s top languages. We collaborate with third party voice providers, so we are always building on our list of available voices.
• Do you have a virtual avatar?
  Yes, we have a virtual Furhat. This is only for development use, not commercial deployment.
• Can I get access to the SDK?
  Yes, the Furhat SDK is freely accessible. Visit the SDK page, submit a request and we will be in touch with you soon.
• Which operating systems does Furhat support?
  We have developed our own FurhatSoftware that supports the Furhat robot. The FurhatSDK runs on three major platforms: Windows, Mac and Linux.
• We are mostly using Python in my lab, can I use our Python code with the robot?
  Yes. There are two main options. The first (recommended) option is that you develop the skill in the Furhat dialogue framework in Kotlin, and configure your skill to communicate with your python subsystem using standard inter-process communication such as a socket, messaging queue or pipe. The second option is to run the interaction from a separate machine using your existing Python code and use our API to send basic commands for the robot to perform.
