Robots can now make human-like expressions like this
Humanoid robots are always fascinating and also somewhat scary, the two newly introduced robots are proof of that. Engineered Arts, a UK-based group of humanoid robot designers and manufacturers, recently demonstrated two of their most lifelike robots ever. The first robot, called Ameca, has amazingly human-like facial expressions.
At the beginning of the video, Ameca shows the emotion of waking up from a long sleep with a confused expression, but then it looks at its hand and makes a surprised expression, then it finally smiles and reaches back. the audience seems to be welcoming them.
Unfortunately, at present, Ameca can't perform the dancing moves like Boston Dynamics' Atlas robot, it can't even move and can't talk yet. However, Engineered Arts has plans to integrate voice into the robot.
If you find Ameca not scary enough, Engineered Arts also has another robot, Mesmer, whose face is 3D scanned from a real person to create bone structure, skin and lifelike expressions, even more than Ameca. But because of the higher complexity, Engineered Arts can only create the head of this robot.

Since Engineered Arts primarily produces human-like robots for the entertainment industry, Ameca and Mesmer may appear at events or malls in the future. Ameca will be on display at CES 2022 in January next year.
