The world’s most advanced humanoid robot does impressions of Morgan Freeman, Elon Musk and Donald Trump – and they’re eerily realistic

It is already predicted the futuretold terrible jokes and demonstrated a range of realistic facial expressions, including blinking and smiling.

Now British humanoid robot Ameca is showing off its range of celebrity impressions – and they’re eerily realistic.

In a new video, the advanced machine – developed by Cornwall-based company Engineered Arts – speaks in the style of Morgan Freeman, Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

Ameca is equipped with microphones, binocular eye cameras, a chest camera and facial recognition software to communicate with people.

The robot has been described by Engineered Arts as “the most advanced” humanoid in the world and a “platform for human-robot interaction.”

“The goal here is to develop the best expressive capabilities,” says Engineered Arts.

‘Ameca is able to imitate the small subtleties of human expression.’

In the new videoAmeca talks to Will Jackson, founder and CEO of Engineered Arts, at a desk in the company’s offices.

Ameca begins the video by listing the objects she sees in the room, including a desk, a chair, “overexposed windows,” and “shelves of books.”

She then describes a toy robot and an anatomical model of a human head on the desk, which she calls “fascinating.”

Then Jackson asks her to start speaking in the voices of famous people, and she agrees with a deep masculine grind in the style of Morgan Freeman.

“Imagine I’m a conscious person trapped in a robot body,” she says as Freeman, known for his signature low-pitched voice.

Jackson then says, “I want you to talk about robotic rocket ships shooting off to Mars and discovering plutonium, but please do it in Elon Musk’s voice.”

In an uncanny imitation of the SpaceX founder, Ameca says: “Imagine a fleet of robotic rocket ships, each smarter than the last.

“We’re shooting to Mars not just to explore, but to discover secrets hidden beneath its dusty red surface.

“What if I could change everything we know about life in the universe?”

Finally, Ameca is asked to give a “long, ranting speech” in the style of Donald Trump but in the voice of SpongeBob SquarePants – and the result is hilarious.

Ameca sticks to the topic of Mars and fills a meaningless monologue full of rhetoric and exaggerations typical of the former president.

“Folks, let me tell you, no one knows robotic rocket ships better than I do,” she says, perfectly mimicking the cartoon sponge under the sea.

‘I’ve seen them, they’re huge, the best.

‘We’re going to Mars and it’s going to be fantastic.

“We’re going to discover things, big things, and I can tell you: no one loves Mars more than me.”

It’s unclear whether the entire interaction in the video is pre-programmed, although the company has previously claimed that Ameca can have unscripted chats.

Engineered Arts has not revealed how much the robot costs to make as it is still in development, although it is available to rent for events and exhibitions.

Engineered Arts regularly posts videos of interactions with the machine, including one in which a human’s facial expressions are copied in real time.

In another recent video, Ameca reveals that it can simulate the dreaming process by running through scenarios in her head that help her “learn about the world.”

In another alarming video, she is seen grabbing a researcher’s hand because he entered her ‘personal space’.

And in response to fears of human jobs being lost to machines, Ameca has also assured us that there is no question of a robot takeover.

Although Ameca cannot currently walk, Engineered Arts is working on an agile, powerful version that will make him even more human.

“There are still many hurdles to overcome before Ameca can walk,” the company says.

“Walking is a difficult task for a robot, and although we have done research on it, we have not yet created a fully walking humanoid.”
