Furhat Robotics, a Stockholm-based startup, launched on Tuesday a humanoid robot capable of natural conversations and realistic facial expressions. /VCG Photo

Furhat looks like a smart voice assistant with a realistic-looking head and neck stacked on top. A customized face with realistic human (or animals) facial expressions chosen by you will be projected onto the head. /VCG Photo

The robot’s voice, facial expressions, and even personality all can be customized. It is designed to be able to interact with humans as humans interact with each other, such as asking questions, practicing interviews, training skills, playing games or learning. /VCG Photo

The development team claims that the robot can be trained to use in roles such as concierge, receptionist, for employee training or even carrying out what the company calls "unbiased interviews". /VCG Photo
