Last week, the Engineered Arts company posted a video showing its latest creation. The head of the new Mesmer robot is strikingly similar to a human face.

“This is a small movement test for a Mesmer robot head. Again, not CGI. This head and neck has 22 custom servo actuators – just 5 around the mouth. which is not enough for a good lip sync— which is why it does not speak in this ‘clip’, ” explain the engineers.

Elon Musk showed his excitement on Twitter. When the video was shared via the social network, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX replied with a tweet saying, “The real androids are coming.”
