Video of realistic robot with human features has the internet terrified

The internet has been spooked by a robot with scarily realistic features with many commenting how it’s only a matter of time before they take over the world.

Ameca is a robot designed by the British company Engineered Arts, who regularly post robotic content on their social media platforms – but this particular clip posted to their YouTube channel on Wednesday (December 1) has gone viral with over 680,000 views.

In the clip, Ameca can be seen snoozing with its eyes closed and face slouched down before it rotates its shoulder and suddenly awakens, opening its eyes before scoping out the room. Then the robot studies its hands and at the end of the clip, looks directly at the camera and gives a grin (not creepy at all…)

On the Engineered Arts website, it says that Ameca “contains some software which can be described as ‘artificially intelligent,’” but that its main purpose is to “be a platform for developing AI.”
