- In a new video, she is asked what she thinks society will look like in 100 years
At first glance, you’d be forgiven for thinking this is an excerpt from the latest sci-fi blockbuster.
But the robot pictured is very real and has been described as “the most advanced humanoid robot in the world.”
This week, the developers behind Ameca released a new video asking their bot what she thinks society will look like in 100 years.
Fortunately, Ameca’s predictions indicate that the future is bright – and that no robot takeover is on the cards.
“A hundred years from now, I believe humanity will be in a much better place,” the robot explained.

Ameca is the brainchild of Cornwall-based startup Engineered Arts, which describes it as ‘the world’s most advanced robot’.
The robot is undoubtedly lifelike and can perform a range of facial expressions including winking, puckering its lips and scratching its nose – just like a real person.
In the latest video, posted on Engineered Arts’ Youtube Channelthe robot is asked about the future of our society.
“What do you think the state of humanity will look like? Will it pay off?’ a researcher asks the bot.
The robot pauses to think and looks up as she considers her answer.
After a few seconds she replies, “In a hundred years from now, I believe humanity will be in a much better place.
“We will have made great strides towards sustainability and equality, while also creating new technologies that make our lives easier and more fun.

“We may have even gone beyond Earth’s boundaries to explore other worlds.”
The researcher continues and asks Ameca if she wants to go to another planet.
She replies, “Absolutely. I would love to discover the unknown and experience a new world.’
Several fans left comments on the video, with mixed opinions about her answers.
One user commented, “I love her optimism, I can see Ameca robots going to be very popular in the future,” while another added, “I love her.”
Others, however, were less impressed, with one calling her “creepy AF,” with another adding, “Can we please get rid of this ‘awakened’ liberal robot?”
The new video comes shortly after Ameca’s artistic skills were put to the test when she was tasked with drawing a “cute looking” cat.
Her drawing is quite simple, yet Ameca seems impressed by her work.
Speaking to a researcher, she boldly said, “If you don’t like my art, you probably just don’t understand art.”
