David began his fascinating career as a freelance artist and designer, but the turning point was his employment as a Walt Disney Imagineer from 1996 to 2001. In 2003, he founded Human Emulation Robotics, winning many accolades for his work.
With the development of his own company in 2005, Hanson Robotics, David is free to use all his knowledge of figurative arts, robotics engineering, and cognitive science to create the robots of the future. His Ph.D. from The University of Texas and his BFA from The Rhode Island School of Design gave him the foundation of a successful career in robotics.
David has over three decades of experience and in this time, has developed over 50 robots, currently displayed in renowned institutions worldwide, including Cambridge University, and numerous museums. His ultimate goal is to bring superhuman intelligence to robots, giving them a human characterization to the extent that people will bond with them.
His most famous creation, Sophia the Robot, is the first robot Innovation Ambassador for the United Nations Development Programme
