Meet Ameca – The world’s most expressive robot!

 

Recommended for Preparatory Grades

Meet Ameca, a robot at the Museum of the Future in Dubai that looks and acts very much like a person. Ameca can say, “My name is Ameca,” and then go on to spell out “her” name.

The robot is built with a variety of facial expressions. It does things like wink and scratches its nose. Ameca is run by a technology called Artificial Intelligence.

Also, there is a person who controls her speech and facial movements from a distance.

The people who made Ameca thought that robots would not be in our homes for at least twenty years.
