The constant eyes blinking are probably the key that makes all facial expressions so realistic and convincing. Amazing work!

[kayskreed]

This was really well sequenced. It comes across as pretty natural looking, probably the most human-like expressions I've seen in a robot to date. I also found the hands to be quite impressive as well. Gone is the stereotype of the expressionless robot.

Magnificent triumph of engineering. Although somewhat unsettling, the soulfulness of their expressions is remarkable.

When I was young and just got into video games, I remember being shocked at seeing all the, to me, novel ways I could interact with the world within. And I think that's a very important emotion; when you encounter something completely unexpected yet advanced, magic is born. It's a new experience you may have considered or even actively imagined before, but never quite had the chance to live through.

Seeing this video evoked that same feeling within me. I've been following humanoid robotics on and off purely out of curiosity, and it kind of always gave off the same vibe: like nuclear fusion, it was always just a decade or another away. There were a ton of supposedly more or less lifelike robots, that were supposedly conveying human emotion - and I was happy for their developers, but really, they weren't there yet, by far. And now here I am, under this relatively unsuspectingly titled video that received more than 2M views, I somehow never seen before, and the technology on display is actually astounding.

There's still definitely a lot of ground to cover, but for the very first time, this honestly looked like something believable. I'm blown away. This is very well going to be an excellent platform to iterate on, and I can actually believe this going somewhere. Keep up the good work!

[sentdex]

Whoa. The level of detail here is insane.

Considering how realistic it looks it is not as uncanny valley as expected, I think they have nailed the facial expressions and small movements

[Aurumai]

WOW! Did anyone happen to notice the extremely realistic emotions the robot sitting at the computer in the background displayed at 0:08?? It looked like it activated at the sound of a snap. The feeling of annoyance is so genuinely palpable! That model looks so much more realistic with props like hair, clothing and glasses. Not to mention, how much more convincing the movements are when these animatronics are positioned as if they're in the middle of activities like using a computer rather than sitting in the middle of the room with no context or purpose like a "floating head". I am utterly amazed. We are truly living in the future!

[jameswalker]

Personally, I find Ameca's design to be very pleasant. Similar robots often look quite creepy to me, but as human as Ameca is, she is unambiguously a robot, and I think that gives here a little bit of social leeway for any odd looks or expressions.

[rraptor]

They’ve really mastered the subtleties of eye movements and gentle expressions!

[caleboutlar]

The fact that you have to clarify that this is not CGI is very impressive! Can't wait for this platform to be used with an AI.

[MisterFribble]

This goes straight past the uncanny valley and into surrealism. Maybe I'm just tired, but I find this natural to the point that it seems human. The expressions are exactly as they should be, the hand movements are flawless, and overall it's far more realistic than virtually all CGI ever. Like, I'm not creeped out by this. It's simply awesome.

[boonmoon]

Без кожи (или может краски) роботы выглядят гораздо лучше. Не так заметна "нереалистичность". Очень впечатляет!

[mmicoski]

Amazing how fine and detailed are the movements are! It is hard to pin down what makes it so realistic, but I think what make the robot look so 'human' is that it's movements transmit the sense of purpose. It is doing what it intended to do. There is no overshoot, no oscillation to the sides, it just moves fast and straight to the point.

[MadMovieMakers]

Combine this with Boston Dynamics and we'll have mobile emotive Fortnite-dancing robots everywhere

[Dell-olhb]

The engineering this must've taken is mind numbing, good job

[Getfuckeddude]

Compared to their work in the past, I’d say they improved DRAMATICALLY! Amazing experssions and much more life like!

[Ditronian]

Holy hell I think they just about surpassed the uncanny valley. Fluid limb movements, and a realistic albeit gray face sure do make one heck of a difference.

[pr]

This is how CGI animation used to look like 20 years ago and now we are at the uncanny valley. This is how robotics and AI looks like now, imagine 20 years down the line!

[martinpalm]

This humanoid robot would be best in Disney parks and other entertainment oriented places. Also it could fit as a personal helper, because its face animations are much better than any other.

The Institute already making moves with their synths, we've reached the end boys.
