Watch Ameca the humanoid robot in its FIRST public demo.

Is Ameca the humanoid robot the face of the future? Ameca is a humanoid robot created by Engineered Arts, a British company specializing in robotics, animatronics, and special effects . It was first revealed to the public in December 2021 and has since gained attention for its lifelike appearance and advanced capabilities.

Ameca is designed to be a platform for the development of future robotics technologies, particularly in the area of human-robot interaction. It is equipped with a number of sensors and actuators that allow it to interact with its environment, and its advanced AI system allows it to hold conversations and respond to questions in a natural way.

Here are some of Ameca’s key features:

Humanoid appearance: Ameca has a realistic human-like appearance, with expressive eyes and a mobile face.
Advanced AI: Ameca is equipped with a powerful AI system that allows it to learn and adapt to new situations.
Natural language processing: Ameca can understand and respond to natural language, making it possible to have conversations with humans.
Sensor and actuator technology: Ameca is equipped with a variety of sensors and actuators that allow it to interact with its environment.

Robot Quotes

“The machine has no feelings, it feels no fear and no hope … it operates according to the pure logic of probability. For this reason I assert that the robot perceives more accurately than man.” ~Max Frisch
“Automation has emerged as a bigger threat to American jobs than globalization or immigration combined.” ~Oren Etzioni
“If you want to look at this through a utopian lens, the AI Revolution has the potential to free humanity forever from drudgery. In the best-case scenario, a combination of intelligent robots and green energy will provide everyone on Earth with everything they need. But just as the Industrial Revolution caused a lot of short-term pain, so will intelligent robots. While we’re on the road to our Star Trek future, but before we finally get there, the rich are going to get richer–because they own the robots–and the rest of us are going to get poorer because we’ll be out of jobs.” ~Kevin Drum
“The higher the minimum wage goes, the lower the threshold will go for robots to replace humans in many minimum-wage roles.” ~Tom Purcell
“It’s not if robots are going to replace humans, it is when are robots going to replace humans?” ~Dave Waters
“Given the complexity of most jobs that involve critical thinking, it’s hard to believe that one day a robot might become a viable option in those roles. It’s true, there’s no current artificial intelligence that can handle making decisions on the fly. However, technology is advancing at such a rapid pace that while the executive robot of the future has yet to be invented, it’s only a matter of time. It’s no longer a question of if, but when.” ~Thomas Shambler
“If you look at the robotic devices that are coming into the restaurant industry — it’s cheaper to buy a $35,000 robotic arm than it is to hire an employee who’s inefficient making $15 an hour bagging French fries — it’s nonsense and it’s very destructive and it’s inflationary and it’s going to cause a job loss across this country like you’re not going to believe.” ~Ed Rensi
“With the metaverse we are transitioning from viewing a 2D world looking at the Internet to living inside the Internet in a 3D world.” ~Dave Waters
“An AI utopia is a place where people have income guaranteed because their machines are working for them. Instead, they focus on activities that they want to do, that are personally meaningful like art or, where human creativity still shines, in science.” ~Oren Etzioni
