COI edit request

[edit]

Paid COI declared. Seeking permission to add the following under the "examples" section:

Furhat, developed by Furhat Robotics, is a robotic head with a projected human-like face capable of conversing with humans using speech recognition and synthesis and by tracking gestures and eye movement. It is used in human-robot research, and has been applied in customer service roles, language education, and recruitment. [1]

 Not done: source appears to not be independent . To add something like this in a list of examples I would want to see some kind of independent coverage demonstrating that it was notable outside of the company that made it and the researchers that worked on it.

(Thanks for the feedback and advice. Also read your edit request tips. Changing tack and going for independent media sources (per WP:RS) and market reports to confirm notability (per WP:ORG.I'm proposing this change to reflect the changing landscape of social robotics in 2025, thus ensuring due weight WP:DUE and verifiability WP:V)

Furhat, developed by Furhat Robotics,[2] is a disembodied robotic head with a customizable projected face.[3] It mimics human-like conversation by tracking body language and eye movement and mirroring human facial expressions.[4][5] Furhat is used in human-robot research, and has been applied in customer service roles, language education, and recruitment.[6]
