Canonical robot record
Overview
Ameca is a social humanoid robot built by Engineered Arts, a company founded in Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is designed primarily as a platform for human-robot interaction and as a development base for artificial-intelligence and machine-learning research. The robot presents a neutral-gender humanoid form with grey skin over a visible metal shell.
The robot is built around the company's Tritium platform, a web-based software system that can be accessed from any internet-connected computer without local installation. Ameca supports natural-language conversation across many languages and can produce a wide range of facial expressions, gestures, and animations that can be customized by operators.
Engineered Arts positions Ameca for entertainment, education, research, and telepresence-style applications, and offers it both for rental and for purchase via quote. It is intended for indoor use within a controlled temperature and humidity range and runs on standard domestic mains power.
