If Ameca doesn’t creep you out enough, Engineered Arts also developed another realistic bot, named Mesmer. The company says that it used 3D scans of actual humans to give the bot accurate bone structure, skin texture, and lifelike facial expressions. In a video posted just days after the Ameca showcase, Mesmer makes a series of expressions that looks even more convincing, given that this bot has more lifelike skin and facial features than Ameca does at the moment.

Since Engineered Arts focuses on creating humanoid robots for entertainment, Ameca and Mesmer will likely be the centre of attention at venues and events, rather than robots designed to do a specific job or take over all of humanity. Engineered Arts says Ameca will be on display at CES 2022 in January.

Still is a robot no soul and no spirit. Just machines.

Lines of code. Nothing more.

Mbona mnaogopa? It’s like you’re trying to console yourselves.

Robots will take over the world in a few years to come and colonize us

It’s impossible.

I wish we could elect him as the next president of Kenya.

Just lots of if and else if statements, there is nothing more it can do other than that facial expression. Can it master the Ktalk lexicon?
