Dubai Museum of the Future hires advanced humanoid robot

Dubai’s Museum of the Future has hired its first robotic staff member, named Ameca and manufactured by UK-based Engineered Arts.

The humanoid robot is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and features a human-like face and a robotic body.

Engineered Arts is the UK’s leading designer and manufacturer of humanoid entertainment robots that can either be purchased or hired for museums, theme parks and attractions world wide or representing companies at trade shows, expos and exhibitions.

Engineered Arts notes “designed specifically as a platform for development into future robotics technologies, Ameca is the perfect humanoid robot platform for human-robot interaction.

“Smooth, lifelike motion and advanced facial expression capabilities means Ameca can strike an instant rapport with anybody.”

Ameca can interact with visitors, answering their questions and giving them directions. It can make facial expressions, track movement, and even has a sense of humour.

Engineered Arts adds “reliability is key, and all our robots are built to last in action in the real world, not just in the lab.

“The modular architecture allows for future upgrades, both physically and software to enhance Ameca’s abilities, all without having to fork out for an entire new robot.

“We focus on bringing you innovative technologies, which are reliable, modular, upgradable and easy to develop upon.”

Dubai’s Museum of the Future, which opened in February 2022, is home to immersive future environments.
