A custom robotic character for public-facing experiences, with appearance, dialogue and movement shaped around the venue.1

Before you choose

Is this the full-size Mesmer or the Desktop robot?

This profile covers the current full-size custom-character Mesmer. Its table lists 1,870 mm, 62 kg and 61 actuated movements. Mesmer Desktop Gen 3 is a separate model with 32 actuated degrees of freedom. Do not use Desktop dimensions, transport assumptions or motion counts to plan a full-size installation, and do not substitute Ameca specifications.

Does a person control it, or does AI answer visitors?

The Mesmer page describes interaction, conference and telepresence modes, with Tritium, Roles and cloud-connected AI services. Ask the demonstration to identify which mode is running, what a staff member controls and how takeover works. A character conversation is a designed experience; the source does not establish that every exchange is autonomous.

What must a venue provide?

The full-size table calls for mains power, Ethernet, indoor operation at 10 to 30°C and 45 to 60% humidity. It lists a primary LiDAR safety zone at least 3.2 metres across. Wi-Fi is listed as coming soon. Review visitor flow, cables and the exact installation with the supplier; no walking capability is established by that table.

Can it be rented, and what does the price include?

Engineered Arts offers rental and quotation enquiries, but no current numeric offer was established in the accepted sources. Ask for the exact character and term, transport, installation, staff training, animation or dialogue work and AI-service charges. A rental enquiry does not establish availability for your dates or a universal software allowance.

What should visitors know about cameras and conversation?

The full-size specification lists two 8 MP eye cameras, and the software uses cloud-connected AI services. Exact retention, third-party processing and contractual privacy terms remain unverified. Settle the applicable notice, recording settings, access and deletion before a public experience. Do not promise that visitor conversation stays local or is never retained.

What upkeep and warranty are documented?

The current table recommends maintenance every six months and lists a one-year parts-and-labor warranty, with an optional extension. Confirm the destination, character configuration, travel costs, maintenance responsibilities and coverage exclusions in the contract. Those listed terms are useful planning context, rather than a verified service commitment for every venue or country.

Give the character a useful role

Mesmer is Engineered Arts’ full-size platform for realistic, customizable characters. The practical question is what the character should do for the people meeting it. A museum might want a guided conversation about an exhibit; an event might need a repeatable introduction. Define that exchange before choosing a face, costume or voice.1

Tritium provides the software framework. Its Roles feature lets an operator shape identity, knowledge and behavior, while the product page lists interaction, conference and telepresence modes. These are different ways of running an experience, so a demonstration should make clear when the robot is responding through AI and when a person is speaking through it.1

Plan for a full-size installation

The current full-size specification lists 61 actuated movements, a height of 1,870 mm and a mass of 62 kg. Mesmer Desktop Gen 3 is a separate product with 32 actuated degrees of freedom. The smaller model’s specification should not be used to plan transport or space for a full-size Mesmer.23

Installation needs more than room for the body. The specification calls for indoor operation, mains power and Ethernet, and lists a primary LiDAR safety zone at least 3.2 metres across. Check the venue’s floor plan, visitor flow, cable routes and accessibility with the supplier. The checked specification does not establish a walking capability.2

Budget for the experience as well as the body

Engineered Arts offers rental and quotation routes. Its specification recommends maintenance every six months and lists a one-year parts-and-labor warranty with extension options. Confirm which services, travel costs, software usage and character work are included for the proposed location and term.12

The robot has cameras, and its AI software can use cloud-connected services. Before inviting visitors to talk to it, settle the privacy notice, recording settings, retention period and access by service providers. Ask to run a rehearsal with the intended audience noise and questions, then agree how a staff member can take over or end an interaction.21
