Performance benchmark

Computed 0-10 capability scores appear only when the required source-backed inputs are verified.

Scoring methodology

Insufficient comparable evidence

Computed capability scores use a normalized 0-10 scale from official, verified catalog inputs. Missing required inputs are shown as Not enough verified data instead of a numeric score.

Inputs: speed, payload, degrees of freedom, autonomy/software evidence, and dexterity-related evidence.
Freshness: each numeric score requires a source URL and verified date from the catalog record.
Guardrail: Scores are comparison aids only and do not indicate deployment readiness, suitability, price certainty, or availability.
Not enough verified data to render a five-axis numeric benchmark for Sophia.

Frequently asked questions about Sophia

HumanoidHub only shows a public Sophia price when it is verified from trusted source material. If no official price is shown, treat Sophia as request-quote and do not assume a public price until source-backed evidence is available.

What is the Sophia used for?

Sophia is a human-form social robot platform used for public engagement, education, and HRI research. It focuses on face-to-face interaction with speech recognition, speech output, and expressive facial mechanisms, and includes onboard cameras for perception (e.g., face detection/recognition). The Sophia 2020 configuration is listed at ~167 cm tall with 74 degrees of freedom.
