Ameca Ameca is a humanoid robot designed as a platform for
Artificial Intelligence research and human interaction applications. It was launched at CES in Las Vegas USA in January 2022. Its main focus on human-like expressions and range of facial movement. In its demonstration, it was made to mimic an operator's face using a mobile phone that had built-in LIDAR and used Apple's
ARKit tools.
Mesmer Mesmer is a humanoid robot. Its key design feature is its face covered by a skin-like rubber, that can exhibit human-like expressions and characteristics. It was created and manufactured using 3D scans of human models taken in-house, allowing Engineered Arts to accurately mimic human bone form, skin texture, and emotions.
Robothespian RoboThespian is an
interactive,
