Engineered Arts, a UK-based developer, and builder of humanoid robots, recently put a clip on Youtube showcasing one of its most realistic models. Ameca, the robot, is shown making a sequence of remarkably human-like facial expressions. Ameca seems to “wake up” at the start of the video, as its face expresses a mix of uncertainty and displeasure when it opens its eyes. However, when Ameca begins to examine its hands and arms, the robot opens its lips and arches its brows in apparent astonishment. Ameca smiles and extends a welcoming hand to the spectator at the end of the video if that’s how you choose to take that gesture.
