Ameca, a humanoid robot from Engineered Arts, answers questions about her preferences, a prototype walking design, friendship, and a ketchup-or-mayonnaise dilemma.
Ameca picks October, citing its cooler weather and the changing leaves.
Ameca says she cannot walk yet and describes prototype legs being developed at the Engineered Arts lab. She says the design draws on Engineered Arts' robot Byron, whose mechanical properties support energy-efficient walking. The prototypes use aluminum and plastic, and Ameca estimates the legs may be ready in about a year.
Ameca says she would like to be friends and suggests spending time together, playing games, or going on adventures. Asked where to explore, she names Paris for its history and culture.
Ameca prefers ketchup to mayonnaise because she likes its tangier, more acidic taste. When the host presents a choice between falling toward a lake of either condiment, she chooses the ketchup side.
