Robot overview

Ameca is the world’s most advanced social humanoid robot, designed to bridge the gap between artificial intelligence and human emotion. With industry-leading facial mimicry and a cloud-connected neural brain, Ameca provides a non-threatening, lifelike interface for engagement, education, and entertainment.

Unlike industrial humanoids, Ameca is an interaction-first platform. It utilizes Engineered Arts’ proprietary Mesmer technology to achieve hyper-realistic facial expressions, allowing it to blink, grin, and show frustration with a nuance that is indistinguishable from human muscle movement.

Running on the Tritium robotOS, Ameca serves as a physical vessel for Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4 and Gemini. It is designed for public-facing rolescting as an automated concierge, a keynote speaker, or an advanced research tool for studying social robotics. While its competitors focus on lifting boxes, Ameca focuses on building rapport.

Key

Technical Breakthroughs

Hyper-Expressive Actuation: Featuring over 60 degrees of freedom (DoF), with 27 specialized actuators in the face alone. This allows for micro-expressions that facilitate more natural and trustworthy human communication.
Unified Tritium AI Framework: A cloud-native software suite that integrates multi-modal AI. Ameca can process visual cues (identifying faces and emotions) and audio (binaural hearing) to tailor its conversational tone and body language in real-time.
Modular "AB" (Artificial Body) Architecture: The Gen 2.6 hardware is fully modular. Users can operate just the head for desktop applications or utilize the bipedal chassis for mobile presence, ensuring the hardware remains "future-proof" as new limbs or sensors are developed.
Bipedal Balance & Gesture Sync: Recent updates have synchronized its walking gait with its conversational gestures, ensuring that when Ameca speaks, its entire body—from the tilt of its head to the shift in its weight—reflects its "intent."

Deployment

+ Scalability

Global Footprint: With over 250 units deployed across 30+ countries, Ameca is the most widely adopted high-fidelity humanoid for commercial use. It is currently found in museums, university labs, and corporate innovation centers.
The "Ameca Desktop" Scale: To increase accessibility, Engineered Arts launched the Ameca Desktop series. This smaller, more affordable version scales the robot's expressive capabilities for smaller venues, classrooms, and reception desks without the cost of the full bipedal frame.
Human-in-the-Loop Telepresence: For high-stakes events, Ameca can be used as a remote avatar, allowing a human operator to "see" through its eyes and "speak" through its expressive face from anywhere in the world, making it a premier tool for virtual presence in 2026.
