Mesmer

Mesmer by Engineering Arts is an advanced animatronic humanoid robot system designed for entertainment, exhibitions, and interactive experiences, featuring lifelike facial expressions, micro-movements, and natural gestures powered by silent, precision motors with individual torque and acceleration control. It includes a modular hardware kit with sensors like cameras, depth sensors, LiDAR, and microphones, integrated with TinMan telepresence software for remote cloud-based control, monitoring, and updates. Users employ intuitive drag-and-drop animation tools on 3D models to create realistic behaviors without coding expertise, supported by photogrammetry rigs for high-fidelity facial replication using soft, durable silicone skin. The 5-axis articulated neck mimics human vertebrae for fluid head movements, full eye tracking with realistic blinks, and embedded cameras enable face tracking and environmental interaction. Emphasizing human safety, non-invasive hardware access protects artificial skin, making Mesmer ideal for creating personalized robotic characters in research, attractions, and telepresence applications with seamless internet connectivity and end-to-end encryption.
