A UK robotics company called Engineered Arts has unveiled an impressive new humanoid robot that has strikingly realistic facial expressions.<\/p>\n
A video released by the company shows the grey-faced robot as it wakes up, changes its face into a shocked grimace, and then analyses its hands as if it doesn’t believe what’s happening to it.<\/p>\n
But at the end of the video, the humanoid robot named Ameca stares into the camera and smiles, as if to say “Gotcha!<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n “A platform for the development of future robotics technologies<\/strong>”<\/p>\n The illusion is interesting, as the sequence was most likely filmed a long time ago, but this is another impressive example of the progress made in robotics.<\/p>\n The Engineered Arts company considers the robot “a platform for the development of future robotics technologies”.<\/p>\n The robot is designed to allow us to better study and understand human-robot interaction, and believable facial expressions can be a huge help, writes Futurism.<\/p>\n Engineered Arts’ robot is also available for purchase and rental for various events, but a price has not yet been revealed.<\/p>\n However, it should be noted that although the robot has amazing facial expressions, Ameca is not yet able to walk.<\/p>\n “Ameca is a modular robot, and we plan to upgrade its abilities over time so that Ameca can walk someday<\/strong>” the company’s official page states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A UK robotics company called Engineered Arts has unveiled an impressive new humanoid robot that has strikingly realistic facial expressions.
