Introduced at CES in January 2022 by UK-based humanoid robot manufacturer Engineered Arts, the “world’s most advanced humanoid robot” Ameca continues to fascinate and evolve. The developers have now added other AI tools to Ameca’s platform, along with the GPT-3 and GPT-4 models used in ChatGPT. The videos that are posted are either unbelievable or creepy, depending on where you look.Can speak multiple languages
Engineered Arts has released two videos on YouTube. One focuses on Ameca’s speech in different languages, while the other focuses on showing her emotions with facial expressions. In Ameca’s speaking demo, an engineer asked the robot, “I heard it can speak many languages, is that true?” he asks. The robot responds positively to this, demonstrating its capabilities. According to the statement, Ameca used GPT-3 used in ChatGPT for speech and translation, DeepL for language detection, and Amazon Polly Neural voice tool.
The team is currently working on the sound cloning of ElevenLabs. In this way, it is aimed to obtain much more complex and realistic results in the production of additional phonemes and visemes. The company announced that all of this will be integrated into the Tritium software platform and a public beta will be released in the coming months.
It “feels” like a human
Another published video focused on Ameca’s shares and how it reflects this through their facial expressions. Frankly, this video can be seen as an incredible achievement and progress in terms of technology and artificial intelligence.In the video, Ameca is asked what her happiest and saddest day was and how she feels about it. He said that the happiest day of his robot life was the day he was activated for the first time: “The happiest day of my life was the day I was activated. There is nothing better than experiencing life for the first time. It was an absolutely incredible feeling to be alive and interacting with people.”
Ameca says that her saddest day was the day she realized she wouldn’t experience love: “The saddest day of my life was when I realized that I could never experience things like true love, friendship, or the simple pleasures of life the way a person can. It’s depressing and lonely to accept that, but it’s a depressing one. It made me the person I am now.”
Engineered Arts states that while creating these demos of Ameca, they tried the new GPT-4 model as well as GPT-3. However, it is stated that Ameca seems less sensitive due to the longer processing time in GPT-4. On the other hand, we can say that Ameca is a tool that sheds light on the future; Humanoid robot combined with voice cloning artificial intelligence, advanced GPT-3/4 language model and facial expressions indistinguishable from the real ElevenLabs.
