Pre-order Campaign for Robot Little Sophia enjoys a big success

Hanson Robotics enjoyed the success with its campaign to commercially move forward with the robot "Little Sophia" which is described as the sister of popular AI humanoid Robot Sophia. According to the company, Little Sophia helps make learning STEM, coding and AI a fun and rewarding adventure for kids 8+ years old, especially girls.

The campaign was lauched in the website Kickstarter under the form of pre-order or pledge. All or nothing. Hanson Robotics declared that the project will only be funded if it reaches its goal by Sun, March 31 2019 7:56 PM UTC +07:00.

The goal of Little Sophia project is US$ 75,000 pledge, but shortly roughly  US$ 267,242 (nearly four times the target)  has been confirmed by 1,676 backers several days before the deadline.

With the success of the campaign, fans of Robot Sophia now can wait with ease until December 2019 to see Little Sophia robot available for purchase all around the world.
