Last year, a video of Ameca the robot's facial expressions had the world fascinated (and terrified). But the creators of this humanoid say Ameca is the face of the future.

We've been working on teaching #ameca a wider range of facial expressions
Added 12 new actuators - now the challenge is how to control all the expressive capabilities

This #ameca demo couples automated speech recognition with GPT 3 - a large language model that generates meaningful answers - the output is fed to an online TTS service which generates the voice and visemes for lip sync timing. The team at Engineered Arts ltd pose the questions.
Nothing in this video is pre scripted - the model is given a basic prompt describing Ameca, giving the robot a description of self - its pure #ai
The pauses are the time lag for processing the speech input, generating the answer and processing the text back into speech

Using GPT3, Ameca answers user-submitted questions for you in the first installment of Ask Ameca!

Appropriate facial expressions in this video are selected by GPT3 - we also tried GPT4 , the processing time with 4 was longer and made Ameca appear less responsive.

We integrated #stablediffusion to give #ameca the power to imagine drawings. One of the big challenges here was converting the image to vectors, (lines), that Ameca could draw.
The focus was on making fast sketches that are fun to watch.
Ameca always signs their artwork.
If you would like an Ameca drawing please contact [email protected] for options and prices, Ameca can draw your request and we will make a video to go with it!
