VIRAL VIDEO: Today In Not At All Creepy Robots

Global News reports:

Robot engineers at Cornwall-based Engineered Arts have unveiled a remarkably human-like android, named “Ameca.”

A short promo video released by the company shows Ameca seemingly “waking up,” looking at its hands and then towards the camera. The 40-second clip has racked up well over 10 million views online since Engineered Arts released it earlier this week.

Ameca has grey-coloured skin, with deliberately gender- and race-neutral characteristics. The company describes it as the “world’s most advanced human shaped robot representing the forefront of human-robotics technology.”
