Ameca, this AI humanoid robot hypnotizes visitors of CES 2022 with her amazing facial expression

                           

Human invented intelligent humanoid robot Ameca has recently made a public appearance in world's largest Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2022) at Las Vegas, Nevada along with several other electronic gadgets.

The UK’s Cornwall-based firm Engineered Arts created Ameca's human-like artificial body (AB) plus artificial intelligence (AI), (AIxAB) managed to attract an audience at CES. The company calls Ameca as "The Future Face of Robotics."

The most advanced humanoid robot has been given the face of a woman. Ameca's realistic facial expressions and talks make her different. She can look, move, hear, understand and  even respond to your questions.

Ameca uses Humanoid Robotics hardware and is built on Advanced Memer Technology.

Why Ameca is better than other robots

Robot can be easily upgraded as both its hardware and software are modular. According to the company, each module can function independently, meaning you don't need a fully assembled robot and can only use its head or even a single arm.

It has a head and a hand. However, the rest of the body is robotic.

Ameca can hear and understand your words and instructions, it has a Tritium Robot Operating System in its head, which is connected to a cloud connected program.

Its expressions are absolutely natural. Ameca is the ideal platform for communication between humans and any metaverse or didactic realm.

Its body is all metal and plastic, its face is a deliberately genderless and nonhuman gray. It has 17 individual motors inside its head controlling its movements and expressions. But its facial features are surprisingly vivid and emotive.

Ameca is fitted with binaural microphones in each ear so that it can identify whether the sound is coming from the left or the right.

It also has stereo vision as a camera is fitted in each eye.

Right now, Ameca can't walk but its manufacturer, Engineered Arts, plans to add movement to its skills in the near future.

The company says

It is the perfect platform for human-robot interaction as it is designed as a platform to develop future robotics technologies. We focus on bringing you innovative technologies, which are reliable, modular, upgradeable and easy to develop upon.

Built from the ground up with a cloud-connected focus, all our robots can benefit from the latest and greatest the tech community has to offer. Gain access to all the robots data, control it as your personal avatar, animate and simulate, all available from anywhere in the world.

In fact, the robot even seems like a CGI at one point when it eerily smiles looking at the camera. Engineered Arts says that Ameca is the face of human-robotics technology and is the most advanced robot in human form.

The most advanced humanoid robot engineered, Ameca is also claimed to be the world’s first cyborg. Fusing a high-tech robotic exterior with a human brain and nervous system, Ameca is designed to look, move and feel like a real human - “beyond what you may think of as the uncanny valley” – according to engineers at Engineered Arts. Engineers  hope that Ameca can be usefully employed at airports, railway stations and shopping malls for guidance purposes.

Ameca is currently available for sale through the Engineered Arts website—certain models are also available for renting for events.

According to Engineered Arts, this was the first instance of a human interacting with the Ameca robot and as shown in the clip, the robot followed wherever the finger went, while also avoiding being poked in the beginning.

The robot has incredible human-like responses about personal space and it’s actually starting to freak out the engineers. They said:

Ameca reacts as things enter their ‘personal space’. This is even starting to freak us out at Engineered Arts and we are used to it!

As per the video's description, the robot was reacting to anything that was breaching his 'personal space.'
