First robot to get citizenship coming to city this weekend - Times of India

MUMBAI: Have a question for Sophia, the world's first humanoid robot who has been granted citizenship by a country? Sophia will be visiting India, her maiden trip to the country, on December 30 to attend the TechFest--the institute's annual science and technology meet. Select questions asked by Twitterati will be put in front of Sophia by a moderator when she will be on the institute's campus. "We are starting a Twitter campaign wherein users can send questions to Sophia using the hashtag #AskSophia," said Anirudh Poddar, manager, media and marketing, Techfest. In 2014, the Techfest had hosted BINA 48, the most advanced social robot to talk to in the world at that time.
