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

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

Furhat 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.

Back-projector

Back-projection system with real time high-fidelity rendering of dynamic facial expressions and lip-syncing through a smart a 3D graphics face engine.

Neck joint

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

LED ring

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

Customizable appearance and behavior

The powerful combination of back-projected facial animations, swapable masks and face editing tools make it very easy to create expressive robot characters with any ethnicity, age and gender. Furhat also comes with built-in gestures such blinking, smiling, nodding, frowning, and other gestures that can be controlled individually or fully automated with Large Language Models.

Visual and auditory perception

Furhat can see, hear and track multiple users simultaneously in real-time, do facial expression analysis, estimate head pose and user distance, giving it the ability have unique interactions with each individual.

Onboard camera

RGB camera with 120 degree diagonal field-of-view and fixed focus on the interaction space to track user distance and position in relation to the robot.

Multi-user tracking

Furhat's visual perception system includes a highly accurate face detection system based on state-of-the-art deep learning (single-shot-detector) model, depth estimation, and spatial modelling.

Hi-Fi speakers

High fidelity speakers with volume controll that give Furhat a clear and distinguishable voice in noisy environments.

Multiarray mic

Built-in multiarray microphones and an external USB microphone with noise cancelation and direction of arrival for audio localization.

Fluid conversations in multiple languages

Furhat is designed for natural human conversation with rapid turn-taking in multiple languages. You have detailed controls for managing initiative, turn-taking, interruptions, error handling and priming the speech recogniser for expected utterances. Furhat is also 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.

Furhat SDK

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.
