Making of Sophia: Software Engineering for Arms and Hands

when animals are born they already have some instincts for how to move their arms or legs but it's not so simple for a robot in order to teach Sophia a new movement such as waving hello videos of humans waving must be loaded into 3d animation software there Sofia's animation team can work with a virtual model of Sofia to recreate the desired movement however with the use of machine learning this process can be sped up Sofia can now use machine learning models to automatically learn new hand gestures from videos of humans talking she can even automatically vary the style of gestures based on the emotional tone of her speech these natural hand movements help Sofia feel more lifelike and help her to engage with humans on a deeper level to see more on how I move my arms check out my making of Sofia hardware engineering forearms and hands video [Music]
