Notable
Mesmer is a hyper-realistic animatronic humanoid line built from in-house 3D scans of real people, with silicone skin over electric motors for lifelike facial expressions; it is a configurable platform (often head/torso only) controlled via TinMan telepresence. It does not walk, and dimensions/DOF vary per build.
Deployment evidence
Legacy mentions are unverified. A partnership or announcement is not proof of an active deployment. Evidence labels do not change HMX v2 scoring.
