# Ameca at Dubai: deployment

Canonical ID: `cdf33c58-9165-4d9c-91aa-06c297690d7a`

Engineered Arts Ameca humanoid robot deployed at the Museum of the Future in Dubai as an interactive visitor attraction, joining the museum's Tomorrow Today exhibition in October 2022.

Ameca greets visitors, answers questions in multiple languages, provides directions, and demonstrates its lifelike facial expressions (27 individually controllable facial motors). The robot is integrated into the Tomorrow Today experience, which explores how technology can shape the future across five domains: waste management, environment, food security, agriculture, and city planning.

The Museum of the Future is operated by the Dubai Future Foundation and is one of the world's most recognized modern architectural landmarks. An updated version of Ameca was deployed at the museum in 2024, demonstrating enhanced AI capabilities and more fluid motion. By 2025 Engineered Arts reported 29 Ameca units deployed globally across museums, science centers, research labs, and universities.
