A new humanoid robot has made a huge step towards crossing the ‘uncanny valley,’ with the machine filmed displaying a whole range of almost realistic human facial expressions.
‘Ameca’ has been described by its British developers at Engineered Arts as “the perfect humanoid robot platform for human-robot interaction.”
The footage, which captured the terrifyingly real robot in action, proves that the company’s bold statement isn’t much of a stretch.
The grey-colored machine, which vaguely resembles the characters from the 2004 movie ‘I, Robot,’ offers a whole range of human emotions, coupled with realistic eye movement.
In what appears to be a pre-programmed demonstration, Ameca first wakes up, then checks out her arms with curiosity, before making a surprised face after ‘noticing’ that ‘she’ is being filmed.
The emotional robot is already available for purchase and rental. Right now, it’s only a stationary model, but the developers plan to further upgrade it, promising that “one-day Ameca will walk.”
Humans: Let’s try to create a robot that is like us. After a while, humans get shocked, because the robot is so like us??
Well, no one is as good at creating as the Almighty God in heaven, who created everything perfect. All honor belongs to him, in all eternity.
