## Price

- **$250,000** (actual-sale-price, one-time; as of 2025-05-01) · [Engineered Arts (Ameca)](https://engineeredarts.com/robot/ameca/) · 2025-05-01

The $250,000 above is a verified price: Engineered Arts offers Ameca for purchase and also for rental. It is an institutional/attraction price, not a consumer one, and there is no subscription.

## Availability

_Status: shipping-now_

Ameca is commercially available for purchase or rental from Engineered Arts, aimed at museums, attractions, research, and events, not consumer retail.

## Status

Ameca is the famous expressive humanoid: 61 actuated movements (27 DoF head and 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 stationary: it emotes and converses, it does not walk or do physical labor. The expressiveness and conversation are real; what DEPLOY flags is the 'lifelike AI robot' framing, which is LLM-mediated chat, not autonomy or general-purpose work.
