"World's most advanced humanoid robot," Ameca, is back flaunting its skills in making a conversation in a recent video from Engineered Arts shows.
While the clip dives into a couple of questions, it also addresses fears of humankind that robots are plotting to take over the world as they evolve.
'World's Most Advanced Humanoid Robot' Full Conversation
Robots are becoming more ubiquitous these days as technology continues to develop immensely. For instance, we now encounter delivery robots from tech giants like Uber and Amazon.
However, the humanoid robot scene is still in the early stages of development and has yet to take off fully.
But it appears that the humanoid robot of the United Kingdom design firm, Engineered Arts, is making astounding progress.
As per the latest report by IFLScience, Ameca, dubbed as the "world's most advanced humanoid robot," has learned to speak in conversations.
The new conversational skills of Ameca are all thanks to a recent upgrade that a team of UK researchers installed in the humanoid robot.
The online news outlet reports that Ameca now uses an AI chatbot, GPT-3. It essentially allows the robot to start speaking more like humans without requiring assistance from the latter.
A recent video of Engineered Arts published on YouTube shows Ameca engaging in a conversation after gaining the new AI chatbot upgrade. To tame doubts from its viewers, the design firm claims that "nothing in this video is pre-scripted."
Noticeably, the conversation video of the humanoid bot seemingly shows a lag of some sort in the responses of Ameca. However, Engineered Arts dished out a disclaimer in the video that the "pauses are the time lag for processing the speech input."
The video further showed the human-like expressions of Ameca while she responds to questions, including our inevitable habit of winking.

It further showed how the humanoid bot responded to various questions like the value of robots.
According to a recent report by Daily Mail UK, the robot says in the recent Engineered Arts video that humanoid robots have "many possible applications."
Ameca got a bit more specific, adding that it includes complex activities like "conducting research" or simple mundane tasks, such as "acting as a companion."
But besides explaining the role of humanoid robots in our lives, Ameca also addressed a long-time fear of most folks.
The realistic humanoid assures that "robots will never take over the world." Instead, Ameca explains that they are "here to help and serve humans, not replace them."
The conversation video also shows the humanoid trying to sing a Green Day song. Here's a video below, and see it yourself.
