Ameca Facial Expressions

We've been working on teaching #ameca a wider range of facial expressions
Added 12 new actuators - now the challenge is how to control all the expressive capabilities

Compared to robot Sophia, my money would definitely be on Ameca. She is way ahead of Sophia and developing many times as fast. Compared to 3 years ago, Sophia has only made minor progress. Ameca's expressions are also far more realistic. Combine Ameca with Boston Robotics mobility skills and Ameca will be walking, moving and talking like a human in no time (my guess is by 2024)

Please keep her grey. It really helps avoid the uncanny valley. Also just looks really cool! :D

[ltdeditions]

This is starting to look ultra realistic! In a video about a year ago, you said it only had two motors for the lips. I guess a lot of those 12 new actuators went in to that area?

[user_-ub]

How cute and natural!
Her expressions are completely similar to the person who is looking himself in the mirror for the first time!

[kayskreed]

Very impressive again! I love the subtle detail with the expressions. Ameca is what I imagine the 'exiting phase' of the Uncanny Valley may come to look like. It will clearly be a long path, but it's headed in the right direction. Great work!

The guy watching Tesla bot dance... 🌚🌝 Hmmm... is ameca involved in optimus?!

[nighttimejackable]

I personally welcome our inevitable robotic overlords and wish them nothing but the best.

[mixedrealityworkshop]

Absolutely mindblowing work. I hope you guys bring Ameca to more expos in Europe.

[marcuso.]

That brow raise at the end was such a nice touch. Can't wait to see it when the robots take us over.

[SamanthaTheSonicFan]

Awwww! Ameca’s adorable! She’s gotten so smart!

[diamantegerardo]

Great work with Ameca's facial expressions and he/she can express more emotions an empathize with more people easily, bringing Ameca out of the uncanny valley in some way

I'll love to see how well will evolve this tech in future humanoid robots from other companies and labs, this might be tied to the development of AGI and the theory of mind and allow such system to communicate better with us humans

[Banydian]

More expressions than the average Hollywood actor and actress

[rarinkaz]

Been looking for updates and you didn't disappoint!

[cliffcurtistruth]

Ameca's personality and facial expressions make her adorable. At what point do we say she has become conscious?

[netcatfulful]

Absolutely brilliant. I would love to work on her. What a wonderful creation.

[Eagle-Striker]

I heard that Delos Inc is looking into buying Engineered Arts. They want to build a fun park where we can interact with these things. Looking forward!

[pegclairezach]

I am very impressed. Very lifelike and believable. This is the best I've seen. Combine with AI voice recognition tech and she will be ready. I'm very happy to see this.

[Ceeed]

Really good work. Love seeing the progress :D

[YellowJeff]

Incredible work as always. And what is this? She has wrists now?! I mentioned that in an earlier video and now they are functional. Every update brings more excitement.

[deedee]

Watched a video of her at an exhibition in Las Vegas and, with all the people milling round, she even had an expression of slight social anxiety, as a human would in these circumstances. The company that created her is remarkable.
