Engineered Arts in the UK designed their robots with mechanics that closely mimic human anatomy, which means that it could either be the creepiest or coolest thing you see today. Cleo has a neck with vertebrae that curls and twists, while powerful, silent, high torque motors animate the robot. Employing high-tech integrated controllers, every motor has full control of speed, acceleration, torque and position. Read more to see their latest robot in-action.
What is Mesmer? It’s basically a system for building lifelike humanoid robots, including the Hardware (motors, electronics and connectors), Sensors (cameras, depth sensors, LIDAR, nicrophones), Firmware (motor control for speed, position and torque), and Software (controlling aimation, interaction, audio and lighting). All of these were developed from the ground up by the team at Engineered Arts specifically for humanoid robots, so everything fits and works together in perfect harmony.
