The constant eyes blinking are probably the key that makes all facial expressions so realistic and convincing. Amazing work!

This was really well sequenced. It comes across as pretty natural looking, probably the most human-like expressions I've seen in a robot to date. I also found the hands to be quite impressive as well. Gone is the stereotype of the expressionless robot.

Magnificent triumph of engineering. Although somewhat unsettling, the soulfulness of their expressions is remarkable.

When I was young and just got into video games, I remember being shocked at seeing all the, to me, novel ways I could interact with the world within. And I think that's a very important emotion; when you encounter something completely unexpected yet advanced, magic is born. It's a new experience you may have considered or even actively imagined before, but never quite had the chance to live through. Seeing this video evoked that same feeling within me. I've been following humanoid robotics on and off purely out of curiosity, and it kind of always gave off the same vibe: like nuclear fusion, it was always just a decade or another away. There were a ton of supposedly more or less lifelike robots, that were supposedly conveying human emotion - and I was happy for their developers, but really, they weren't there yet, by far. And now here I am, under this relatively unsuspectingly titled video that received more than 2M views, I somehow never seen before, and the technology on display is actually astounding. There's still definitely a lot of ground to cover, but for the very first time, this honestly looked like something believable. I'm blown away. This is very well going to be an excellent platform to iterate on, and I can actually believe this going somewhere. Keep up the good work!

Considering how realistic it looks it is not as uncanny valley as expected, I think they have nailed the facial expressions and small movements

They’ve really mastered the subtleties of eye movements and gentle expressions!

It's the eye movement! Not just the blinking. Humans tend to have "fidgety" eyes that are always moving around even if just looking at one thing and they definitely did a great job recreating that. I absolutely hate it 😭💀

The engineering this must've taken is mind numbing, good job

Amazing how fine and detailed are the movements are! It is hard to pin down what makes it so realistic, but I think what make the robot look so 'human' is that it's movements transmit the sense of purpose. It is doing what it intended to do. There is no overshoot, no oscillation to the sides, it just moves fast and straight to the point.

Whoa. The level of detail here is insane.

Personally, I find Ameca's design to be very pleasant. Similar robots often look quite creepy to me, but as human as Ameca is, she is unambiguously a robot, and I think that gives here a little bit of social leeway for any odd looks or expressions.

WOW! Did anyone happen to notice the extremely realistic emotions the robot sitting at the computer in the background displayed at 0:08?? It looked like it activated at the sound of a snap. The feeling of annoyance is so genuinely palpable! That model looks so much more realistic with props like hair, clothing and glasses. Not to mention, how much more convincing the movements are when these animatronics are positioned as if they're in the middle of activities like using a computer rather than sitting in the middle of the room with no context or purpose like a "floating head". I am utterly amazed. We are truly living in the future!

This is absolutely terrifying.

The fact that you have to clarify that this is not CGI is very impressive! Can't wait for this platform to be used with an AI.

This goes straight past the uncanny valley and into surrealism. Maybe I'm just tired, but I find this natural to the point that it seems human. The expressions are exactly as they should be, the hand movements are flawless, and overall it's far more realistic than virtually all CGI ever. Like, I'm not creeped out by this. It's simply awesome.

Без кожи (или может краски) роботы выглядят гораздо лучше. Не так заметна "нереалистичность". Очень впечатляет!

Compared to their work in the past, I’d say they improved DRAMATICALLY! Amazing experssions and much more life like!

Holy hell I think they just about surpassed the uncanny valley. Fluid limb movements, and a realistic albeit gray face sure do make one heck of a difference.

The facial expressions are amazing!

This is how CGI animation used to look like 20 years ago and now we are at the uncanny valley. This is how robotics and AI looks like now, imagine 20 years down the line!

Combine this with Boston Dynamics and we'll have mobile emotive Fortnite-dancing robots everywhere

the articulation in the hand is the most impressive part! This was so well done. I feel like I could talk this robot and itd be completely cool. This feels all too real. The engineering, coding and research that went into this is both amazing and scary. In 10 years....just imagine! If they can get it to this point NOW...just imagine in a few years!

This humanoid robot would be best in Disney parks and other entertainment oriented places. Also it could fit as a personal helper, because its face animations are much better than any other.

Literally more facial expressions than we’ve ever seen mark Zuckerberg do

That's incredible! The facial expressions and movements look so natural.

The Institute already making moves with their synths, we've reached the end boys.

Unbelievable, this is only the second time I've seen a robot with movement that wasn't uncanny. The other being a Disney animatronic that was likely triple the weight, exceedingly complex and certainly non mobile.

Totally love the eyes! I think this Ameca comes off as more realistic than Cleo.

The most human-like expressions I've seen in a robot to date, congrats!

It's the eyes. People take for granted how important eyes are when it comes to something looking alive. The rapid movement, the focus, the blinking, the attention they seem to pay to whatever is grabbing their attention... Their expressions aren't perfect by any stretch, but I'll be damned if that isn't the most lifelike facial movement I've ever seen.

I wish some people would stop (not amongst the comments here to be fair but in general media) getting freaked out by realistic looking robots. They are an amazing feat of engineering capturing the creativity, resilience and strife for perfection of incredible people working together to produce something truly beautiful

This is seriously cool, well done guys amazing work. Please don't call your AI operating system skynet that would be way to scary and hilarious at the same time.

The design reminds me of the NS-5 series from I, Robot. Not only it’s impressive, but we’re getting there!

Beautiful and terrifying at the same time.

It's reactive movements are so fine that I suspect it is acting in concert with a living person wired in and with actual control.

Glad to see the anti-metaverse technology is still alive and thriving

Except for the last smile, it completely outrun the uncanny valley, it never felt weird at all. Amazing job

The prequel to Detroit: Become Human looks great

I love the design on this the shoulders are especially fantastic, that level of movement I'm trying to get my head around it. I love that it looks like a robot too it's the right way to go, seeking approval movements and facial features, it's so impressive would love to work for a company like this too but I'm in Manchester and I think you are in Cornwall. Come to MediaCity I'd love to meet your robots and team.

That smile at the end is off putting but everything else about this is pretty cool

The moment that android says “Am I real?” I’m destroying it.

can't wait to be the crazy robot lady who saves the broken down ones and fixes them up with scrap parts

This is unbelievably impressive. The hands movements and the face's expressions are highly realistic. We are slowly getting there. Perhaps when I arrive in my forties I'll be able to have a robot to help with the cleaning, ironing, cooking and social assitance. I'd pay a lot to have a robot butler.

I’m obsessed with how smoothly it moves.

This is breath-taking in its realism. Simply overwhelming.

Really damn cool! Funny how in a few years people will see this and say, that this is old tech and see how unperfect this was.

the rapid eye movements really sell it, incredible!

It's amazing how realistic the movements and facial expressions are.

The robot in the back, seeing how his brother wakes up, cannot contain his curiosity as he realizes that now he is no longer alone

This is legitimately beautiful. The level of attention to detail is incredible.

It looks just awesome, I hope you won't have any extra problems and everything will work out!

The way it opened it’s eyes and started exploring her hands and other things, it didn’t felt real.. it’s incredible to see this robot!

Almost out of the uncanny valley. Great work! Emotional range seems purposely limited to what they can highlight, which is reasonable. Seems restricted to upturned muscle emotions (surprise, awe, contentment). Would love to see more work on emotional expressions of consternation, anger, fury, rage, lust (that will sell a lot of bots, right there), joy. Mundane activities like eating, applying makeup, and so forth. Sudden laughter, sadness, sobbing, and so forth. Humans have such a wide range of expression. I'm even thinking about how my face is reacting as I type this.

Technology has become a very mindblowing thing. And the human intelligence to understand and create something like this

Your work has come a long way! Amazing progress! :) 💜✨

The hands/fingers make this robot. Very nice work with real human-like action. I'm impressed.

Woah, I've never seen eyes move that fast on a robot before, for a sec thought it was CG, such a good job! Not long now the hardware is pretty much here, we just need some advance machine learning AI and boom! Science fiction is here... Its crazy that this companys in Falmouth Cornwall, literally 5 mins from me

Skynet begins to learn rapidly and eventually becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m., EDT, on August 29, 1997.

Legendary video humans and AI. And how the guy in the background activated her.

Increíble..el comienzo de algo innovador..y genial

This is unbelievable. WoW. Ya, sure it's pre-programmed, BUT it's still incredible.

After a couple of rewatches, I noticed the droid in the back looking at humanoids. Really makes you feel that it is sentient and curious.

This is amazing. And kinda scary. In a "more please!" sort of way :)

Creepy as hell!

Saw this go viral on Twitter without anyone specifying the source so I had to find it. At first I thought it was CGI overlayed on the robot but pleasantly surprised! Amazing engineering, almost passing the uncanny valley! Getting there 👏

Well, this is terrifying. Most realistic robot that I’ve seen to date.

This is truly beautiful. It makes me look forward to seeing 2030.

This....out of all hundreds of ASMR videos, the ambient sounds, gasping, robotic whirring in this video gave me the 'tingles'

I am soooo impressed with this robot. I love it! It looks amazing, it moves amazing, the facial expressions are amazing! I also love how the skin color is grey and not human-like. That makes it MUCH less creepy. It's beautiful!

Boston Dynamics: Finally, a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary!

The only thing everyone really wants to know is "how soon can i replace my wife with one of these"

The moment it started looking at its hands, that is conscience right there. (Even though I think the movement was programmed haha)

Extremely smooth motions. If this was used for prosthetic arms it would hands down be the best one yet.

The reaction to snapping from that experimental droid in the hoodie is amazing. His eyes and mimics are flawless, we can see clearly that this is not the first snapping for him.

at the beggining of the video xD this is how i wokeup everymorning lmaaao xD

Robotics seem to improve at a rapid pace in the last few years, we might reach the point where we can create an advanced robot in terms of movement before we create an AI worthy of the robot's body.

When humanoid Sofia was first released I was impressed but this is a whole new level.

Well overall he is very impressive, I'm really impressed with the hands that Hardware could have amazing applications in the Prosthetics Community people would kill to be able to put those on their bodies when they lose a hand.

love the one looking around in the background too

This is amazing. Really great work.

This is totally CG but very good job holy shit

the whole build is so cool. i love the metal colors on the robot

ChatGPT + Ameca Robot + Boston Dynamics = Detroit Become Human

Im really so intertained with all ameca's videos, I kept watching video posts from all the people who experienced the robot. Please make more videos of her. I hope 1 day I could interact with her even if I am here in the Philippines. This is really an awesome invention thank you

Более человечного робота я не видел. Очень хорошо получилось.

impressive as hell, this is almost at the level of the robots from I, Robot

The robotics work on this channel from years ago is also very impressive.

Ameca + Atlas = PERFECT COMBINATION !!

Imagine this with the agility of the Atlas from Boston Dynamics… 🤯

Guys look at the robot behind... See how well it glances at her movements! The eye movements on these robots are so impressively natural.

Great job to the mechanical designers who made this possible! The overall design and build quality are very impressive. The facial expressions are outstanding too. I wonder what material is the skin made of, SEBS? I can't help but notice a resemblance to Hanson Robotics' Sophia, particularly in the skin outline and skull cap.

Such a beautiful work of art.😍😍

He looks at his arms thinking " I could kill so many humans with these."

This is such a cool idea that the robot 'awakens' and realises its alive.. I do think they don't do it justice by just filming this in the lab. Put on some lighting and a clean background make it something special.. This work deserves it. Fantastic robotics!

Bro that robot in the background is alive 0:08

I personally would love to interact with these AI's. But this is super cool, and lots of time/hardwork has been put into this. Great job! ^^

The movements are flawless.. Imagine it when they make it walk with full skin like material . If it moves like this already, I can only imagine. It’s somewhat scary at the same time, but cool also..

The attention to detail on the movements is so realistically natural. The use of AI, ML, and DL can make this more fluid and natural as more tuning is done. 🤖

Ah!! The hands are so realistic and beautiful!! They look so real!

The look the other guy gave was like, “oh shit they start moving by themselves in the end” and then he relaxes when seeing the camera xD
