Meet the Founder and CTO of FARCorp Stephen Favis, the Founder and Chief Technical Officer of Favis Advanced Robotics Corporation, began his life-long connection with computer programming in 1984 when, at just six years of age, he learned his first programming language…Amiga BASIC. He did so primarily to help his blind father, a practicing Psychiatrist, learn how to program as a hobby. As he read the programming books to his father and helped write those early programs, his love for, and interest in, technology was kindled. It was soon to become a raging fire, as he graduated to building and flying gas-powered remote-control airplanes, and by age 12, he had built his initial personal computer.

Stephen went on to study computer science and game development in college, and worked in the video game industry for 12 years, eventually forming his own successful company, Favis, Inc. He has won numerous industry-wide “hack-a-thons,” and recently received the prestigious 2018 Intel “Top Innovator Award” for the United States. He is the designer of B08, a social robot, as well as Septaer, an advanced AI display smart-speaker, and holds patents in advanced humanoid robotics, social robotics, and smart-speaker technology
