Overview
A KTH spin-off whose back-projected face can render any age, gender or ethnicity, making it a staple of human-robot-interaction and dialogue research. The company also acquired Misty Robotics in 2022. Expensive, but the SDK and free simulator make it the most developer-friendly face on the market.
