Engineered Arts

Engineered Arts is a British robotics company that has earned global recognition for creating the most expressive and lifelike humanoid robots in the world. Founded in 2004 in Cornwall, England, the company has spent two decades refining the art and engineering of humanoid robot design, with a particular focus on facial expressions, gestures, and natural human-like movement. Their robots are designed to communicate and engage with people in ways that feel intuitive and compelling.

The company’s flagship robot, Ameca, has become an international sensation, with its remarkably realistic facial expressions and fluid body movements captivating audiences at technology conferences, museums, and media appearances worldwide. Ameca’s face features dozens of individually actuated points that can replicate a wide range of human emotions with striking fidelity. Engineered Arts has also developed the Tritium operating system, a cloud-based platform that allows users to program and control robot behaviors, integrating with modern AI systems including large language models for conversational capabilities.

Engineered Arts occupies a unique niche in the humanoid robotics landscape, focusing on the intersection of entertainment, research, and human-robot interaction rather than industrial applications. Their robots serve as platforms for studying how humans respond to and interact with humanoid machines, providing insights that inform the design of all humanoid robots. The company’s deep expertise in expressive robotics and mechatronic design makes it an important contributor to the broader field.
