Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about this robot
Q1. What are Little Sophia's primary capabilities?
Little Sophia can walk, talk, sing, tell jokes, and play games with dozens of human-like facial expressions. She features facial tracking and recognition technology, can engage in natural conversations using advanced NLP, and is programmable with Blockly and Python. Additionally, she can create drawings, use augmented reality for selfies, and actively engage in interactive educational conversations about STEM, coding, and AI.
Q2. How to operate Little Sophia?
Little Sophia requires the Sophiabot companion application available on Apple App Store and Google Play Store to operate. Users can control her through voice commands and interactive conversations via the app on iPhone, iPad, or Android devices. Children under 13 require parental consent to create their own account, and the robot responds to both direct commands and naturally engages in dialogue with users.
Q3. What is the maximum carrying capacity of Little Sophia?
Little Sophia's carrying capacity specifications are not publicly disclosed by Hanson Robotics. As a 14-inch tall educational companion robot designed for children ages 7-13, she is not intended for load-bearing tasks. Her design prioritizes interactive engagement and educational functionality rather than physical manipulation of objects.
Q4. How long can Little Sophia operate on a single charge?
Battery life specifications for Little Sophia have not been officially published by Hanson Robotics. Based on typical consumer humanoid robots of similar size and complexity, estimated operational time is likely between 2-4 hours per charge, though this may vary depending on activity level and features used.
