Meet the world's 'most advanced' humanoid robot

Standing in the office of Will Jackson, founder of Engineered Arts, is Ameca, a robot that can talk and move like a human.

It is the latest and most advanced iteration of two-decades of robot development from Engineered Arts, a humanoid manufacturer based in Cornwall, England.

Ameca is an advanced piece of machinery, designed to interact with humans for entertainment and social purposes.

Its head alone contains 27 motors that help it replicate human facial movements. It has cameras in each of the eyes to allow Ameca to "see" the world around it.

The robot also has the ability to understand and respond to questions posed by humans. How? Ameca can run large artificial intelligence models, the kind that underpin ChatGPT. Currently, Engineered Arts is trialing GPT 4, the latest AI model from OpenAI.

Ameca can also tell jokes, respond in voices of celebrities or famous TV characters, and even dance. She even addressed concerns about whether robots pose a threat to humanity.

The robot cannot yet walk, but Engineered Arts is working on technology to allow Ameca to do so.

Watch CNBC Tech: The Edge's visit to Engineered Arts' headquarters in Falmouth, U.K., and even a short interview with Ameca, in the video above.

The most advanced in facial expression, in everything else it is way behind the competition

[eastmanwebb]

I’m impatiently waiting for a humanoid robot that can keep my kitchen and bathroom clean for under $50K.

[wholeness]

Most advanced "constantly looks paranoid at humans" 😂

[rashpalbhati]

'Most advanced' but cannot even walk 🧐

[sapientspectrum]

The head movement and facial expression are impressive, now combine them with the robots that can walk, and jump, it would put the robotic industry at least 5 years ahead

[SvidD]

By far not the world's most advanced.

[crmstudiosbc]

The way I see it Optimus would handle physical tasks and Anika would be more of Customer Server Robot, Receptionist or Psychiatrist.

[AgentX]

CNBC producer just makeup the headlines like usual!😮

[danielrost]

Thank you for putting this out here, to show the world how much further along Tesla really is and how much CNBC and main stream media is out of touch with what really is going on.

[NilimaPradhan-usse]

My son is learning coding from Moonpreneur, and their robotics classes are an excellent option for kids aged 6 to 14 years.

[jw]

wow, it's getting more and more real...

[_Gamer]

We need to study the eel very well and how it gets electricity while in water. This will advance these robots well.

[TonyC]

OLD News, AMICA came out a while back. Kudos CNBC for always being late to the party! You might as well feature VHS's movies.

[kephalopod]

You can distinguish a human from a robot: humans cough, sniffle, burp, clear their throat, fart, transpire.

[havenrail]

lol...in the running for the stupidest title ever, whoever did this needs a HUGE reality check.

[saurabhBmp]

This video showcasing the world's "most advanced" humanoid robot is fascinating! It's amazing to see how technology is evolving and what the future holds for robotics. Initiatives like Moonpreneur are inspiring the next generation to explore the world of robotics and innovation.

Most advanced robot can't even walk 😂😂

[savagecub]

You lost me when you said it wasn’t mobile.

[Gen-XJohnny]

This is not the most advanced; you really need to do your research better.

[stateweapon]

We don't need a robot with advanced facial expressions; instead, the priority is a robot that can perform useful tasks
