VARANASI: The residents of Varanasi will have a brush with the amazing creation of science as they get a chance to meet the humanoid robot, Sophia, at IIT-BHU's annual techno-management fest, Technex, being organised from February 14 to 16.
Dean of students Prof B N Rai told reporters on Wednesday, "A special guest talk by the only humanoid robot, Sophia, would be a big draw at the fest this year."
Interestingly, Sophia, the first robot capable of expressing human-like emotions that distinguishes her from any other humanoid robots, was activated on February 14, 2016 and will hence be celebrating her fourth birthday at Technex in a way.
Sophia, developed by Hong Kong-based Hanson Robotics, became the first robot to receive citizenship of any country when became a Saudi Arabian citizen in October 2017. It can display more than 60 facial expressions.
