These robot sculptures, created by Gordon Bennett, are made from a mixture of found objects which are both old and new. The parts are found in various places including garbage dumps, basements, construction sites, and garbage sales.
They are inspired by Norman Bel Geddes and Raymond Loewy whose visions of the “Modern Age” helped shape industrial design of the 40’s and 50’s.
The materials are wood, metal, bakelite, glass, plastic, rubber, and paint. Each robot is a unique, one-of-a-kind sculpture and receives its own numbered metal tag as proof it’s an authentic Bennett Robot Works robot.
Each robot takes about a month to build. They range in height from 14” to 25”. There are no moving or battery operated parts. They are not meant to be a toy.

ABOUT GORDON BENNETT:
Gordon Bennett studied art at Syracuse University where he received a BFA in Advertising and Design. He is a member of the Brooklyn Arts Council. He has been creating robot sculptures for around seven years. Robot sculptures are in private collections in the U.S., Great Britain and Japan. Bennett Robot Works has been featured in several international magazines including THE BULLETINE in Sydney, Australia, PIG and FLAIR in Milano, Italy and KIJK in Holland. Robot sculptures have also appeared in SEED in the U.S.
After graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Syracuse University, Gordon bounced from advertising job to advertising job. He worked under such legends as Sal Auditori and, most notably, Ralph Ammirati, co-founder of the Ammirati Puris Lintas advertising agency. Gordon worked as Ammirati’s assistant art director at his first agency, in which there were only two other employees.
In 2003, three years before the end of his final advertising job (a fourteen-year stint as art director at Lowe Worldwide), Gordon passed by a boutique window in Bridgehampton, New York and discovered his new passion–a passion which would eventually become his new career as well. In the window stood about fifty little junk robots, small, poorly crafted and made mostly of wood, yet Gordon was inspired and rushed home to try his hand at building one. After much experimentation, trial and error, Gordon began a series of his own robots, under the name Bennett Robot Works; using found metal objects from garage sales, flea markets, and dumpsters, Gordon uses power tools to create sophisticated, large, retro industrial robots, which have gained a large internet fan base.
In 2005, Sorab Bahkshi, the owner of City Foundry, an industrial antique store on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn known by photographers and product stylists as a great source for inspiration and props, agreed to partner with Gordon and carry a few of the robots. In addition to the in-store exposure, Gordon’s website programmer and designer of bennettrobotworks.com, the site on which he sells the sculptures, sent the link to numerous sites that are viewed by techies around the world. This triggered an explosion of online sales and web exposure. It wasn’t until advertising photographer Martin Wonnacott purchased nine robots (after photographing them) that Gordon realized how special his creations really are. In 2006, Gordon stopped working as an art director and became a full-time sculptor, turning the basement of his Park Slope apartment into a studio. Shortly after, Conran’s UK, a world-famous design store, bought nine robots to sell around the world, a move that is one of Gordon’s proudest achievements. Most recently he’s had write-ups in the New York Times, London Financial Times, and was featured in the book Dot Dot Dash: Designer Toys, Action Figures And Character Art. In addition, the robots are set to appear in Oliver Stone’s film Wall Street 2.

I met a fellow robot at 9pm at the Santa Monica blvd halloween street parade, but by 2am he had escaped his armor and was somewhere out there roaming the mean streets of hollywood...naked perhaps.
A.R.T. stands for Autonomous Robot Toy which is being developed in Xin Che Jian as a platform for people to quickly hack their toys to become robots.
MIN-00 2.0 ist ein lieber und fantasievoller Roboter, dem ständig irgendwelche Abenteuerspiele einfallen.
Vom Stadt- und Fabrik-Leben hat MIN-00 2.0 die Nase voll und lebt jetzt auf einem kleinen Bio-Bauernhof auf dem Lande.
(Übrigens ist MIN-00 2.0 ein Cousin dritten Grades von HAL 9000 und wurde als Baby in einem Haufen schwarzer Steine in einer einsamen Gegend Sibiriens gefunden und zu uns gebracht).
The Robot Army continues!
I'm currently finishing up a new round of mini robot paintings that will be in the store by the end of October/early November....just in time for the holidays! Stay tuned!

Ambassador Miller joined 30 enthusiastic students at the American Center for a U.S. Embassy and Robo Lab jointly hosted Robotics Fair to promote STEM education during Computer Science Education Week. Participants showcased their own creations, which included a spider robot, a human intrusion detection system, an Arduino weather station, and an automated street light system, and shared their innovative ideas with each other. Visit the American Center’s MakerSpace to participate in hands-on activities like this and learn how innovation and invention can be used to solve everyday problems.
Photos from the Virginia Beach Fire Training Center this week of testing being done on the latest robotic technology available to emergency response agencies. ASTI International along with federal agencies to include NSTI and the Department of Homeland Security were here at the training center to test and evaluate the various systems available today. They are doing standardize testing on the robotic systems to help various emergency response agencies and the military determine and quantify the capabilities of these systems. This testing /competing helps agencies determine what are the best systems for their particular missions and even increases proficiency of the users of these systems. Robotics developers from as far away as Japan and elsewhere around the world are here to participate in this unique event.
The robotics systems included ground, aerial and aquatic robots, maneuvering through special obstacle courses built for this event. Some of the robots even maneuvered through the “Burn House” at the fire training center. Local police departments and military units are participating with their bomb disposal units and NYFD and other fire departments across the country are also participating.

We are teaching a new maker art class called ‘Robot World’, to help 4th and 5th graders create their own artistic robot. This after-school class is taking place in fall 2017 at the Lycée Français in Sausalito. Students are learning how to make their bots move in a variety of ways, as well as play sounds and light up, using a programmable Arduino board.
This photo set covers the first half of our 12-part course, when students get to build their robots. Each student received their own robot kit, which they learned to assemble, control and program. They first built a chassis, then wired up the electronics, assembled a remote control, then added a head and arms, with servo motors to make them move.
We then laser cut wooden figures and body parts based on their designs, which included a police bot, a swat bot, a devil bot and a chef bot. Once their bots are designed and assembled, they will learn how to program them and make them move in different ways, then decorate them, give them a story, and present a robot show to their friends and families in December.
For this course, my partner Edward Janne and I created our own robot kit, using an Arduino Feather M0 for the robot, an RF remote, a custom chassis, plus three additional servos and more parts. Our robot kit is similar to commercial products, but with a lot more features, at a lower cost. It was a lot of work, but we’re very happy with the final results, and our students seemed to really enjoy the class. We hope this will encourage other teachers, students and makers to create their own animated characters, for art and technology’s sake.

This was another artwork made for a CGSociet.org "strange behaviour" challenge.
I decided to combine my love of Steampunk with some robotics and got the idea of an assembly line robot who keeps picking the crusty grease out of his nose. Much to the disdain of his human overseers. Boris or Number 446 works in a radio assembly plant inspecting valve tubes for faults.

Thanks to a series of generous gifts from my family, we have a large collection of VEX robotics bits to play with. This is our creation as it exists now. It's based on the original VEX Squarebot design, but with an upgraded drive system and a bevy of sensors added. Roll over the image for a description of the major components!
Still to come: Bluetooth (thanks, Heidi :)) and a whole lot of programming.
Anyone want to help name it? :)
Updated photos of robot part storage. About half the basement is junk. This doesn't even include the garage where I actually create my little friends...

The Robot Junior was introduced in 1954 by Otto Berning & Co. in Schwelm, Westphalia. This internationally much advertised steel-camera of the ingenious constructor Heinz Kilfitt had two remarkable features, first a modern type of film advance with double exposure lock and coupled shutter cocking, and second a multi-speed kind of rotating shutter from Gauthier, made completely of metal.
The Robot 2's special feature was the most significant for the whole camera series: a strong spring motor for film advance, made by the Black Forest clock maker Baeuerle & Söhne. That allowed to make a series of images in a few seconds. Maybe this feature plus the camera's robust stainless steel body made it one of the prefered cameras of the German army. Especially the German Luftwaffe owned special versions of it with more robust spring motor and a 75mm Xenar lens.
With the Junior, film could now be rewound into the feed cassette in the camera as in other 35 mm cameras but loses the angle finder and the rewind mechanism of the Star.
