Engineered Arts Ltd
Falmouth, England humanoid robot maker founded 2004; builds RoboThespian and Ameca for museums, universities, and research labs.
Engineered Arts Ltd is a British designer and manufacturer of humanoid robots, headquartered in Falmouth, Cornwall, England. Founded in 2004 by Will Jackson, the company grew out of earlier work building interactive exhibits, including installations for the Eden Project, before developing its first full humanoid, RoboThespian, which reached commercial sale in 2011.
RoboThespian is a life-sized humanoid roughly 1.75 metres tall and 33 kg, built with more than 30 pneumatic and electric axes of movement, LCD eye displays, and speech output in over 30 languages; it is used in science museums and visitor attractions as an interactive presenter. The company's later platform, Ameca, has a more expressive face and torso built for research into embodied AI, and is used by universities and technology companies to pair humanoid hardware with large language models and other AI systems for human-robot interaction studies.
The company's official web presence has moved from engineeredarts.co.uk to engineeredarts.com, where it now describes its work as building humanoid robots together with software for managing fleets of them across customer sites. Engineered Arts remains a privately held, UK-registered company operating from Cornwall.
