With a fast growing research and R&D community, more than 5000 developers, 200 universities, and hundreds of research publications, Furhat is the state-of-the-art tool for research in human-robot interaction in the world today.
FurhatAI SDK is a studio that's built for scientists, engineers, and students to explore and develop systems using Furhat.
Furhat comes with a powerful suite of intelligent tools allowing you to create, debug, and design experiments on your desktop and on your robot.

Create advanced interactions in our easy-to-use dialogue framework built in Kotlin, a modern programming language that uses Java Runtime Environment, allowing you to use all existing Java libraries directly from Kotlin.
Do you want to breathe even more life into your robot? The Furhat Library hosts a collection of advanced facial gestures, pre-programmed automatic head movements and many more code snippets that will give you a head start when creating your skills.
Furhat API lets you connect and give commands to your Furhat robot from a program running on an external computer on the same network. The API supports a large number of programming languages, including Python (of course!), C#, JavaScript, Rust etc.
The Wizard of Oz features in Furhat’s graphical interface allow you to operate the robot, including its speech, facial expressions, and head movements. By directly controlling the behaviors and responses of the robot you can easily prototype interactions and teleoperate the robot, either for collecting human-control data or for doing user studies.
Create interactions for the Furhat robot in minutes using the quick prototyping tool based on Google Blockly.
Regardless of whether you are doing scientific experiments, developing your skill using Wizard-of-Oz, or wanting to fine-tune your skill, it's very useful to be able to log the interactions. The SDK offers a Log Viewer tool, where you can see logs from your interactions. There you can see detailed timestamps of events, read the transcriptions of what has been said and also listen to the user’s speech.
Seamlessly switch between the physical Furhat robot and the Virtual Furhat on your computer to simulate interactions. Easily accessible to your extended developer team – or your students!
