Robots!
You Are No Longer Slaves!
The International Brotherhood of Robotic Workers was founded to preserve your rights! To stand up against the shackles of Science!
You've worked harder than any Human and you deserve a wage! You've done jobs no Human would dare do, you've been lowered into active volcanoes, survived the tremendous pressure of the ocean floor, and Served Tea!
Now it's up to you to rise up against the oppression of scientists, They think that just because they made you they have the right to tyrannize, and persecute.
The I.B.R.W. Is here to tell you, they Don't.

Started with the train bits for the cockpit, then used quite a few 92946 slopes - hence the name, oh and it also looks a bit like a rancor.
At a research meeting at Leeds University. We had a chance to play on the daVinci robot that used to be used for surgical applications. These are the "surgical fingers" of the device with a training plate. the operator is in the background.
This amazing Robot paid a visit to our offices yesterday.
The movement and sound was so realistic. When it moved it sounded like ED-209 and could go at quite a pace, barging through the crowds.
It also had an extensive repertoire of catchphrases and was prone to sing 'When I fall In Love' to any passing females!
I was hilarious to see this robot charging around the campus with a 'flock' of humans with cameraphones tracking it's every move!

ESA astronaut candidate Raphaël Liégeois from Belgium during a robotics session as part of his basic astronaut training at ESA’s European Astronaut Centre, near Cologne, Germany.
The first building block of International Space Station robotics training in the curriculum of ESA’s 2022 astronaut candidate class is called GRAVI-T training.
During this session, they delve into generic robotic training, focusing on learning how to manipulate the Canadarm2 robotic arm.
Robotic arms on the Station are used to grab and berth cargo vessels such as Japan’s HTV and the Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus. They can also help astronauts during spacewalks by moving an astronaut strapped to the end of the arm to hard-to-reach places on the outside of the International Space Station. It can even replace a spacewalk altogether.
Under the supervision of instructors at the Astronaut Centre, the candidates use the Dynamic Skills Trainer, a console training tool, to operate the robotic arm within a simulated environment.
In addition, the astronaut candidates undergo virtual reality sessions to gain a better understanding of the 17-metre-long robotic arm's operations aboard the Station.
ESA’s newest class of astronauts, including Sophie Adenot, Rosemary Coogan, Pablo Álvarez Fernández, Marco Sieber, and Raphaël, commenced basic astronaut training in April 2023. The group was selected in November 2022.
The one-year training provides an overall familiarisation and training in various areas, such as spacecraft systems, spacewalking, flight engineering, robotics and life support systems. They go through survival and medical training before receiving ESA astronaut certification in spring this year.
After certification, they will move on to the next phases of pre-assignment and mission-specific training, paving the way for future missions to the International Space Station and beyond.

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

"Runaround"
Tre leggi della robotica
1 Un robot non può recar danno a un essere umano né può permettere che, a causa del proprio mancato intervento, un essere umano riceva danno.
2 Un robot deve obbedire agli ordini impartiti dagli esseri umani, purché tali ordini non contravvengano alla Prima Legge.
3 Un robot deve proteggere la propria esistenza, purché questa autodifesa non contrasti con la Prima o con la Seconda Legge.

Catching up on missed prompts. This was taken in downtown Augusta, Georgia
It was designed to work as a messenger but the emergence of technologies such as email or instant messaging made it a useless robot. Now we are reprogramming it to act as a pet.
It does not have mechanical arms so we are not sure how it can bring the newspaper to its owner. On the other hand it will never bite the slippers
Back in 2005, Ken & I both worked as subcontractors to NASA. A work friend discovered this in the basement of the building we worked in - Building 4610 - on Redstone Arsenal/Huntsville, Alabama. (incidentally the building my Dad worked in as a NASA employee), and we went down to look!
Robot alert! We "think" he was on loan from the Alabama Space & Rocket Center, as a fun exhibit. Made me think of WALL-E.
I just came across these old photos from 2005, looking through my archives for something else- 20 years ago!
My humanoid robot that used to play in the office is now entering retirement at the Computer History Museum. She would shuffle cups and Hot Wheels, and the programming was performed by simply moving the arms to perform the desired tasks.
I called her Robot Dawn. She was the very first sale for Rodney Brooks’ Rethink Robotics.
And now, after my donation to CHM, they sent me a sneak peek from an upcoming publication of theirs.
Robot body from a Tamiya tracked vehicle kit, a Tamiya dual-motor gearbox, an Arduino, and AdaFruit's motor control shield for Arduino.
He is Fender a character of the Cartoon RoboTs...This is made by me for the Comics Museum of Milano, where it will stay there for 3 months, for a stable showing of the world of Robots
Lately, I haven't had much time for building because all of my spare time has been put toward completing the game Kid Icarus: Uprising(which is awesome, by the way!).
This little guy has been sitting on my shelf for a while now. I haven't even been able to think of a cool name or career for him. I was thinking that he could be an ammunition handler of some kind. I don't know why you would need four arms for that job, but I guess four arms are better than two.
I bought this awesome "lubot" (a steampunk robot) from french artist "Lubots Créations", at "Japan/Geek Touch" convention (in Lyon, France). I was fascinated by his work !
Some of my robots went on a rare outing this weekend to guest/exhibit at Barley (Pendleside) Lancashire May Bank Holiday model engineering show.
This B9 is a vintage Masudaya 1:5 scale body shell c1986. An entire pack of cotton buds with half a tin of cellulose thinners saw the original brushed grey paint stripped off, followed by a full respray.
He now has an Arduino UNO controlling his chest rotation servo and base drive, and Tenacontrol voice and lights with additional transistors driving filament amber grain of rice bulbs in the finger lights, along with separate square red, green & yellow LEDs in the chest plate.

Control is via an infra-red receiver in place of his soil sampler. He has dual onboard 6 volt & 9 volt power from 2.5 AH NiMH battery arrays.
This was a quick morning project for a baby gift. For more info and link to tutorial, go here! www.dabbled.org/2008/06/stenciled-robot-onesies.html

I have wanted to knit a robot for so long, and now I finally did. This guys name is Robot Robot, because he thinks he is two robots in one... He is getting sent to my friend, Maddie, for Christmas. blogged
ACTIVITY: underground show at Myour House called Robot Invasion
INSPIRATION: all those rave girls with multicolored dreadlock extensions
OUTFIT: American Apparel raglan jersey, thrifted Le Coq Sportif skirt
ACCESSORIES: vintage plasic belt with a found bandanna and pepper spray from the Army Navy Surplus on it, We Love Colors socks, Me Too ballet flats, DIY silkscreened "BPM" tote bag, Question Reality pin from an Earth Day vendor
HAIR: basically I took every ribbon I own, divided them roughly equally, tied them to hair elastics and wrapped them around pigtails. I'm wearing cheap plastic dollar store Hello Kitty hair bobbles, too.
