I liked the cute quirkiness of this street art transforming exhaust fans and air conditioning intakes into a robot. Fun!

I ROBOT
This is one of the first books I ever read after leaving school and it took me down the long road of Science Fiction. Isaac Asimov, Philip K Dick, J G Ballard, Frederic Pohl, Jack Williamson, Robert A Heinlein and so many others.
So this is a little tribute to those imaginative folk who put pen to paper, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The little clock character was a birthday gift of many moons ago, he seemed appropriate to go on the shelf too. A bit cranky now, he doesn’t stand up by himself but leans in a very casual way and is a good timekeeper.
The next bit is a bit weird, I don’t own a copy of Asimov’s “I Robot” because it’s not in Penguin Books and I only collect Penguin Science fiction but I might make an exception and buy it along with the ‘Foundation' series at some time.
Hope some of you have enjoyed Sci/Fi too and have appreciated those writers and their imaginations. Here are a couple of other titles that I think have gone down in history as classic fiction.
“Artificial intelligence is growing up fast, as are robots whose facial expressions can elicit empathy and make your mirror neurons quiver.”
—Diane Ackerman
Another one of the robots that I accidentally met in a small village near Moscow.
(I don’t know the author, but I’m blown away by his talent, ideas and sense of humor).
At first glance, this robot was a little scary, it was taller than me and had a weapon, but when I looked at the details, I laughed heartily.

An ice robot at the end of a Breakwater. See the two pointed things sticking out of the pole halfway up? I saw those as elbows, and now I can't unsee this as a figure with a bug boxy head, wearing robes, standing with its hands on its hips, looking out over the water. Robots don't usually wear robes - but the boxy head makes me think robot. (Pareidolia!)
This is the breakwater at 31st street beach a couple weeks ago before the thaw. Covered in ice that must have built up all winter.
Somewhere under you, a little robot sits on the edge of a reflective pool. He is hoping and wondering if there is anyone else like him in the world.
"Robot II Luftwaffe Eigentum Black, an outstanding Army Robot Camera.
During the world war II, Otto Berning produced his famous Robot Luftwaffe Eigentum
( Air force property), this was a special production of flight recognized cameras.
This is a beautiful F serial, 4th version of 1942, with Long-long advance knob
(48 exposures) and two holes on top. The F serial comes from the german
word "Flieger" or "Flyer", with the famous Sonnar 7,5 cm lens,
in aluminium body of 1941, a rare war time lens, the most popular lens was the
Tele-Xenar of 7,5 cm, the Biotar 2,0, and the Xenon 1,9 lens. Only a few units of this
versión was fited with the Carl Zeiss 7,5 cm Sonnar.
The camera was used in several German fighter planes like the Messerschmitt BF 109 and 110
and the Focke Wulf 190. In the last one the camera was mounted in a cradle in the right
wing and was connected with the guns. The camera could also be used handheld by the crew
This is a very little master piece of collection. Some research say that 20.000 units
were made."

As soon as Burning Man 2018 ended, "Robot Resurrection" (right) paid a visit to "Big Charles... (An homage to Charlie Smith)" (left).
Both robots are creations by Shane Evans.

First Law: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Second Law: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws

Still working on the larger robot, though progress is slow. The upper arm is mostly done and, being stumped on the torso, I'll probably move onto the legs next.
I cloned out the stand here. Even if the rest of the robot were built, and the arm was attached to something, that elbow joint is not strong enough to hold up the smaller bot.
