Overview
Misty, now under the Furhat Robotics umbrella, represents the 2026 pinnacle of versatile social robotics designed for developers and enterprise researchers. Built on a dual-processor architecture utilizing Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 and 410, Misty functions as an advanced Edge-AI node capable of sophisticated computer vision, multi-modal sensor fusion, and autonomous navigation. The platform's technical core is powered by the Occipital Structure Core for real-time 3D SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), enabling precise spatial awareness. In the 2026 landscape, Misty has transitioned into a primary interface for Large Language Models (LLMs), allowing developers to bridge the gap between generative AI and physical agency. The robot's extensibility is a key differentiator, featuring physical expansion ports (backpacks) for Arduino or Raspberry Pi and a robust REST API/WebSocket layer that supports C#, JavaScript, and Python. By combining high-fidelity non-verbal expressions via 4K LCD eyes and a 3-axis neck with industrial-grade sensing, Misty is positioned as the go-to hardware for healthcare assistance, educational research, and high-end hospitality automation.
