Editorial summaries

Ameca

Ameca, from UK-based Engineered Arts, is the famous expressive humanoid: 61 actuated movements (27 DoF head/face plus 34 DoF upper body), 50+ facial expressions, and conversational AI via the Tritium software with LLM and speech integration (Generation 3 shown at ICRA 2025). It is a stationary communication and showpiece robot, not a mobile general-purpose worker. It is commercially offered for purchase and rental at about $250,000. The expressiveness and conversation are real; what it is not is a walking, working humanoid.

Walker S2

The Walker S2 is UBTech's enterprise humanoid, with verified factory pilots at BYD, FAW-Volkswagen, Foxconn, Geely, NIO, and Zeekr in China. UBTech is publicly traded on the Hong Kong exchange. The Walker S2 is not sold to consumers; the editorial position is honest-absence on consumer pricing.
