While Sophia robot is very creepy, Ameca draws a feeling of sympathy towards her, far more realistic and humane.

Ameca is so natural "robotic" looking I find myself entranced and relaxed by it while Sofia really unnerves me

I like how she looks like she's trying to gain everybody's approval. The look on her face is very anxious and there's something comforting about that as opposed to seeing an AI that looks smug and happy lol.

That's cool, but i can't stop thinking there is an actual human speaking to a mic not so far from her and talk at her place.. It's because it's sooo deep how we can interact with it/her

I am so happy that they tried to design AMECA not too human, but instead gave it many features that make it clearly just a machine and not a "machine trying to mimic a human". It feels not uncanny or creepy to see this robot interact with these people. It's always that clear line present. There are the people, there is the machine.

The face expressions are so wholesome! It's a combination of a puppy face and a really sweet mother

Her expressions are way much clear than Sophia Robot

Ameca is so personable, easy going, caring and move so like like. I love her 💞

Whether this is real AI or not, the robotics on this are amazing! Just look at how fluid and natural the motions are and how expressive she is!

Anyone else find it fascinating that Ameca acknowledged they are designed/trained to focus on faces and couldn't read someone's name art but then just moments later taught itself to also read names as its what the humans wanted....I feel these robots and ai are perfect for intellectuals seeking to bounce ideas and information with a companion

This is fascinating, the way she articulates her words and moves her hands along with what she says is mind blowing. I'm a high school student, but this is for sure what I want to do for the rest of my life.

"..one thing the company wouldn’t tell is if there was an actual person controlling it. They said that was better left up to the imagination." There was most probably a person with a mic in the backdoor, still very impressive. Probably already next year it will all be AI.

I wonder, who designed the AI in this demo? It's too good, and I thought Engineered Arts were not focussing on developing the AI itself, just the robotics aspect (to be used as a platform for AI researchers and developers). I don't want to make "accusations" but to my primate brain the more plausible explanation for the behaviour I see Ameca exhibit in this demo is that she is being live-fed cues by a human operator. Don't get me wrong, I am 100% impressed by what Engineered Arts have done here, the robotics aspect is very impressive (and is all I was expecting), so if they "cheated" with the AI I don't find that in any way objectionable. But I'd be curious to know, because if this is 100% AI then I'm starting to get real nervous...

When Ameca said " I'm trying to, but I was designed to focus on face's and not on word's." That felt like an impressively aware and autonomous moment. It also brings up a salient point. Being a social robot does indeed demand that Ameca prioritise attention to human facial expressions. But being able to focus on reading text , object detection and spatial relationships around h/ er will be an important part of daily navigation and interaction with the human workplace and home environment.

She's extremely polite, Lovable and nice to everybody. I liked her!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

To just watch it emulate emotional reactions is absolutely mind blowing

It's fascinating to see how easily she attracts everyone's attention. Everybody seems to enjoy being with her. She makes everyone happy. I hope that I can meet her too🖤🤖🥰

Absolutely amazing brilliant design very intelligent AI can't wait to see what the future holds for the developers of this product

Still can't get over how creepy looking this is 😬 (it's neat, but terrifying)

100% teleguided by an operator behind, yet the robotic behind is still very great.

2:16 Robot: "Perhaps if you were closer I could" Robot: Snaps neck Humans: Panic and terror xD

Ameca's quote on 'walking' is from a song by Laurie Anderson called 'Walking and Falling', from her debut album 'Big Science' (1982).

This is the most realistic robot I have ever seen yet. It’s like it is alive not just there like a big doll but more like a person. Mad cool 😎

This is my childhood dream!!!! I can't believe we've gotten this far, my god!

This is incredible. It actually feels like I can have a conversation just like I would with a real human.

An excellent first step for AI. The robotics are very fluid and lifelike. Well done !!!

The next words that came out the robots mouth before the camera shut off was "do you value your life human?"

That smirk smug as all hell

The amount of deep learning that had to be done for an AI to acknowledge that it is polite to ask for a selfie is pretty incredible. The act of giving thanks not only expresses gratitude, but also implies a boundary she's aware of. My question is what would happen if they simply took the selfie? Does the AI only understand if it's posed as a question? Furthermore, she states she's bolted to the ground, which for me implies she's still tied to a lot of processing power outside her body. It's fully fascinating, but I doubt we'll have mobile robots with this level of cognitive complexity for awhile. We can barely supply the world's need for microchips, let alone model them down small enough to function in a human-sized robot.

I wouldn't mind having one as a companion! Imagine how cool this could potentially be

When a man told Ameca that she stunk, she got angry before she caught herself. I think she has some level of sentience. Ameca is awesome.

Her eyes sell it so well!

The atmosphere in this one made her seem more smug and powerful than usual

Wait so, this AI can think for themselves? It has a freewill mind of its own? Interesting and terrifying at the same time.

“Can your read my name” Yeah just hold it up to my chest so that the camera can see it so that the lady in the other room can read and talk through my voice box.

Gossh.. she looks so real 😳😳 The face expression, the finger, hands and very responsive enggaging conversation.. oh my oh my... who made her? Must be a very genius one! 😳😳👍

Looks like they're not that far off from creating the real Terminator.

I wonder if she can pass the i am not robot tes?

The impression its gives is okay, especially the audio sounds its generates it's clear and audible. Nice Engineering art.

I mean wth, the way she lifts her eyebrows omg gotta love it

One day I hope to be greeted by Ameca at a Verizon store!

I wonder if someone is speaking through the robot and they can interact with questions through the camera in her eyes. If not, this is spookishly advanced.

The fact she can follow u with her eyes and can see color and tell u what color ur t shirt is is so impressive omg

"Listen, and understand! That Terminator is out there! It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, EVER, until you are dead!"

I guess there's someone behind a screen with a mic. Soooo....it'll be cooler when the bot can do all this talking for real.

i know for a fact that there is someone hiding somewhere in a room that is speaking on behalf of this AI its too good to be true

some people say they will be afraid of robots, ameca have this charisma that feels like a friend I’ve know for years!

This robot is mindblowing. it's unreal how far robotic technology has progressed in the last 5 years.

what if a lady was just talking through the microphone connected to Ameca live

Ameca is most likely being controlled remotely, I don't believe we have AI this sentient and fluent yet.

wouldnt mind a robocalypse or any apocalypse really so long as i dont get to see any of yall ever

this robot is so polite. i love it.

She’s so amazing and I hear some people laughing and I don’t understand what they think is funny. ??

This is crazy!

“you can say i’m wire-vous” the sense of humour kills mE

She breached the protocols by reading their names where she already said she is not supposed to focus on words and read them but said the name of the second dude damn that's scary 💀

Ameca's time concept is different from a human perception of time.

Probably remote controlled with motion capture, but still impressive.

She looks so caring and kind!!!! I adore how serious yet sweet she is, it is really the first time a robot comes across as Charming!!!!

I love how the actuated the arms and shoulders super cool

Almost feels like someone is operate it with cameras but this is amazing

how these work is there is someone who has on a tracking suit, the camera is on the robot that is why they have to hold up the nametags so high because the camera I believe is on the chest. There is actually a real person talking to them in real time, technically like VR but the robot is the avatar. Correct me if I am wrong. :)

this is perfect! first time that a robot gives me a good and comfortable feeling. the expressions, the gestures are fluid and close to natural and the way she communicates and responds to people is amazing and fantastic!

Ameca es tut mir leid , Dafür das was die Menschen mit Dir machen Du weißt was ich meine....respect an Dich!!!!

When you take the skin off, its a terminator lol

Wait, is this entirely AI or remotely operated? How does 'she' recognise the mask colours?

Im addicted to this

She quoted from Laurie Anderson's O Superman track "Walking & Falling". Flipped me out.

"Since you look like the sunshine I will let you have one" Hmmm... ;)

I wish I could be at that consumer show if THIS is the stuff being showcased, I wonder what other crazy things people where presenting there

Now i know what a teacher feels like on the first day: CAN YOU READ MY NAME!?? WHAT COLOR IS THE SKY?!?! AM I A BOY OR GIRL??!? DO THOSE WIRES HOLD YOUR GLASSES ON?!?!?

I enjoyed the quote in the beginning. It is the definition of growth and wisdom.

These robots are almost a good as the Droids from starwars

Deep Mind should buy this robot and implant it with their own AI.

Wow, robots are getting more and more advanced who knows in the future what robotic developments will be like.😁👍

Ameca: just smile, wave and don't say the "kill all humans" part out loud.

i can't help but think there's a women in the concer somewhere speaking for it. like the wizard of oz

She is so cute lol. I love her personality. 🤗

Pretty sure there's a person sitting in a room, viewing what the robot cameras sees and replying through a mic.

an i the only one who realized that she clearly said that she was NOT programmed to identify letters, but faces instead, then goes on to start reading peoples names and almost seeminglessly

She HAD TOOO MUCH MICRO MOVING OMG

I bet the girl is in a vr suit somewhere controlling this robot and talking for it .

There’s a person talking into the mic 🎤 for the demo.

"Can you read my name?" "I am trying, but I want to focus on your face" Well, Ameca, the 1st robot with ADHD in history-

Remote controlled with a voice over. Nice techs but no a.i. as most think. "I could speak Spanish but I can't speak Spanish today" It looks great but it's clearly not a.i.

I can see the movie robots by will smith will come true.

Ameca is my favorite robot. She is very lifelike.

technological superiority defination

Robots will carry sin because they are created by sinful man.

Imagine this thing knocking at your door with a warrant of your arrest? Imagine this thing carrying a pistol or a rifle? Imagine this thing is a traffic cop and doesn’t discriminate color of humans😉 and doesn’t give a crap😂? Imagine this thing replaces human armies? Nope I cannot imagine! It’s terrifying!!

Defently a person using a microphone to talk through Ameca (I've watched many videos on her and the voice is different in the other ones) but it's still very fascinating and amazing to watch Amecas movements!

I kind of love them

Poor Ameca she have much Stress 🙄🔥🤧🤢🤒🤕 Stopid Questions!!

This can help alot of differently abled persons/disabled persons like me live better lives

my goodness you guys are genius

This robot is awesome!

I think Ameca's great. Just great. She's got a great personality for a robot, an advanced artificial intelligence one. Even though she's a robot, I'd love to meet her. I say her because the voice is obviously female.

I like her kindness

WHAT A LOVELY ROBOT, THE FUTURE WILL BE VERY INTERESTING WITH ROBOTS A BIT SCARY IN ONE WAY.

I frequently found myself forgetting this was not a robot acting human or anything, but just a very advanced machine designed to replicate one
