Sophia
The most publicly famous humanoid of the last decade, built for expressive interaction rather than physical labor.
Sophia became a global media phenomenon after being granted Saudi Arabian citizenship in 2017 — a publicity milestone that did as much as any technical achievement to put humanoid robots into mainstream public conversation.
Sophia is primarily an expressive, conversational platform built around a lifelike face and social interaction rather than mobility or manipulation, closer in spirit to Ameca than to an industrial worker robot.
