Developed an advanced Natural Language Processing system for Furhat Robotics' social humanoid robot,
specifically adapted for Arabic language and Middle Eastern cultural contexts. The system was deployed
at the NEOM Exhibit Center in Saudi Arabia, where the robot conducted interactive surveys and engaged
with Saudi visitors in natural, culturally appropriate Arabic conversations. This project represents a
significant advancement in cross-cultural human-robot interaction, enabling seamless bilingual communication
and culturally-aware social engagement.
