Overview

What is the Furhat Robot – Premium Edition?

The Furhat Robot - Premium Edition is a tabletop social robot built entirely around one idea: natural, face-to-face conversation. Instead of a screen or a mechanical face, Furhat uses a back-projection system that throws an animated, customizable face onto a translucent physical mask. The result is a robot that makes eye contact, raises an eyebrow, lip-syncs to its own speech, and turns its head to whoever is speaking. RobotLAB supplies the Premium Edition as a complete, ready-to-deploy platform for universities, research labs, and organizations exploring how people interact with conversational AI.

Under the mask, Furhat is a self-contained computer with a 720p projector, stereo MEMS microphones, dual voice-tuned speakers, an RGB camera with multi-user face tracking, and an 88-LED ring for ambient signaling. The head moves in three degrees of freedom (pan, tilt, roll) so it can orient toward people in the room. It speaks 120+ languages with 200+ voices and connects to leading text-to-speech and LLM providers, which makes it a natural front-end for ChatGPT-style conversational agents in a physical, expressive body.

As a reseller, RobotLAB pairs the hardware with the Furhat RDK license, SDK access, and U.S.-based support and training, so a lab or customer-experience team can go from unboxing to a working conversational application without building a robotics stack from scratch. Because RobotLAB sells, leases, and services the platform nationwide, the Premium Edition is quoted per project rather than at a fixed shelf price — call for a configuration and quote that fits your deployment.

How it works

Furhat Robot – Premium Edition in detail

Human-robot interaction research

Furhat is purpose-built for academic and corporate research into how people communicate with machines. Its expressive projected face, head gaze, and turn-taking let researchers study attention, trust, emotion, and conversational dynamics in controlled lab studies or in-the-wild field deployments. The SDK and RDK license give research teams full programmatic control over speech, gestures, and the projected face.

Customer-facing engagement and reception

In airports, hotels, and retail or showroom settings, Furhat can act as an expressive virtual concierge or greeter — answering questions, giving directions, and holding a natural conversation in dozens of languages. Because it connects to modern LLM and TTS services, it can be wired to a venue's own knowledge base for on-brand, multilingual interactions that feel personal rather than transactional.

Higher-ed and classroom instruction

Universities use Furhat to teach conversational AI, social robotics, linguistics, and human-computer interaction. Students design and test their own dialog applications using the zero-code conversation tools or the full SDK, getting hands-on experience with a real expressive robot rather than a simulation.

Healthcare and well-being studies

Research groups in healthcare and assisted-living settings deploy Furhat to explore screening interviews, cognitive and social engagement, and patient-facing conversational support. Its face customization (adult, child, and stylized masks) and gentle, lifelike presence make it a frequent tool in studies on social companionship and behavioral health.

Questions & answers

About the Furhat Robot – Premium Edition.

  1. How much does the Furhat Robot Premium Edition cost?

    RobotLAB prices the Furhat Premium Edition by quote because configuration, licensing term, and support level vary by deployment. For a current quote, lease, or RaaS option, call 1-87-RobotLAB and a specialist will scope it to your project.

  2. Does Furhat actually move, or is it just a screen?

    It moves. Furhat is a physical robotic head with 3 degrees of freedom (pan, tilt, and roll), so it can turn and orient toward whoever is speaking. The face itself is projected from the inside onto a translucent mask, which is what gives it lifelike, animated expressions and lip-sync rather than a flat display.

  3. Can I connect Furhat to ChatGPT or another large language model?

    Yes. Furhat supports LLM integration and a Realtime API, and works with major text-to-speech providers including Microsoft Azure, Amazon, and ElevenLabs. That lets you give it an expressive physical body for a conversational AI agent. RobotLAB can help with the integration during onboarding — call 1-87-RobotLAB to discuss your use case.

  4. What's included in the Premium Edition versus the standard robot?

    The Premium configuration adds an extended FurhatAI license, a protective travel case, an extended warranty, and the exclusive Child and Anime masks on top of the standard adult mask. RobotLAB ships it with the Furhat RDK license, a one-year warranty, and U.S.-based support. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to confirm exactly what ships with your order.

  5. How many languages can Furhat speak?

    Furhat supports 120+ languages with 200+ voices through its connected speech providers, which makes it well suited to multilingual research and customer-facing roles. RobotLAB can advise on voice and language setup for your region.

  6. Is Furhat a good fit for university research labs?

    It's one of the most widely used social robots in human-robot interaction research. The Premium Edition includes the developer license and SDK access, and the optional Furhat Lab bundle of three robots is designed specifically for research teams. Call 1-87-RobotLAB for academic pricing and bundle options.

  7. Does RobotLAB offer support and training after purchase?

    Yes. Every Furhat from RobotLAB includes RobotLAB support and a warranty, and as a full-service U.S. integrator we handle deployment, training, and service nationwide. Reach the team at 1-87-RobotLAB.
