Arms, shoulders, and neck
Each forearm and hand uses seven motors, while each upper arm uses two. The shoulders have four powerful motors apiece, and four more in the neck support lifelike movement.

Head components
The head is assembled from submodules: eight motors for the eyes, four for the brows, two each for the lips and jaw, and one for turning the head.

Sizing, chassis, and safety
Modules come in different proportions, including varied arm lengths, shoulder widths, and neck lengths. The torso chassis houses a microphone and speaker, while a smart power board tracks the robot's systems for safety and reliability.

Legs and controller
Mesmer robots cannot walk yet, though their legs can be arranged in varied poses based on scans of real people. An optional rack-mounted controller supports lighting control, balanced audio connections, and digital inputs and outputs; its front panel can trigger functions, including waking Cleo.
