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.
 

Ameca facial expressions

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
 

Ameca conversation using GPT 3 - Will robots take over the world?

Sep 9, 2022

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

Article "'Robots will never take over the world': World's most advanced humanoid robot Ameca reassures there's 'no need to worry' and says androids are here to 'help and serve humans'"
Ameca is described as the 'world's most advanced humanoid robot'
In a new video, she can be seen in conversation with researchers
'There's no need to worry, robots will never take over the world. We're here to help and serve humans, not replace them,' she said

Ameca expressions with GPT3 / 4

Premiered Mar 31, 2023

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.
 

Ameca drawing a cat

Premiered Jun 29, 2023

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!
