"Ameca," created by Engineered Arts, introduced itself as a multilingual robot in a video. It confirmed that it "can speak several languages, having mastered Japanese, German, Chinese, and French. It can also speak different English dialects, including British and American English."
The advanced robot's language skills were tested by researchers, who asked it several questions and requests. After successfully answering all the researcher’s inquiries, the robot said in a British accent: "It was a pleasure to speak with you."
It is noted that the robot was first unveiled in February at the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show. It is powered by advanced speech algorithms that help it create dynamic facial expressions. Engineered Arts also revealed that "the speech patterns in the android are not pre-generated."
"Ameca" has been dubbed "the most advanced humanoid robot in the world."
