Before we head to #ICSR2026 in London, Furhat will be in Sheffield. This weekend, you can meet Furhat Robot at the #Neuroscience Festival alongside talks and exhibits on everything from brain simulation to the science of sleep 🧠 @sheffielduni.bsky.social #socialrobot #embodiedAI #HRI #AI

In a short demo, you can see how the Furhat Real-Time API can be used to design #robot awareness, attention, and non-verbal social cues. youtu.be/8YUY8Fg6PIc #robotics #HRI #socialrobots #artificialintelligence #agenticAI #AIEdu #EduSky #EducationalResearch

Looking back, this was an early step toward using LLMs beyond text generation: for social, affective and embodied behavior. Huge thanks to Rinus Verdonschot, Peter Hagoort and Gabriel Skantze. Paper: tinyurl.com/bddvy24s #HRI #SocialRobotics #LLM #AI

Furhat is this month's featured robot on the @spectrum.ieee.org Robot Guide 🎉🔥 Check out the article here robotsguide.com and learn more about the story behind the robot's creation☺️

Don't miss the paper "Furhat Robot for Children: Designing an Interactive Educational Activity" at IEEE RO-MAN by Professor Anara Sandygulova and her team Nurziya Oralbayeva, Ameli Isteleyeva, Nurbanu Zhenissova, Zhansaule Telisheva and Aida Tungatarova from Nazarbayev University.💫
