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 !
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.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Ghostbusters, and just in time for national Ghostbusters day, here is my LEGO 'mechto-1'!
It is based on the Cuusoo/Ideas set 21108 which is a superb likeness of the iconic ecto-1 car. I didn't think I could improve on the design, so instead I thought I'd make it into a transforming ghostbusting mech, complete with ghostbusting accessories!
Enjoy!
Variations of robotic headz. Seen in Eidelstedt, Hamburg, Germany. Result of street art party 2017. See www.street-art-school.de/schulausflug-nach-eidelstedt/
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.
Very much inspired by the Spyrius robot sets, but at a slightly smaller scale. This was a fun build, the massive claws are well suited to dangling minifigs by the ankles, as this spent all of Sunday at STEAM doing.
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
LDD/Bluerender Concepts. My version of a small B-9 (Stephen Pakbaz still has the best) and a couple of retro/style robots.
Theodore Robot is unconvinced that he is a robot. He thinks he hears his beating heart, but people tell him that it is just a clock inside of him making tics. He doesn't think this is so because when he was watching the movie Beaches, he could hear the beating speeding up during the sad parts and his eyes started to rust due to moisture. When Theodore Robot is done with his robotic duties each day, he sits in soft grass and looks at the birds and contemplates existence. When he tires of contemplating existence, he thinks about chocolate cake and how it must taste. Being a robot, he doesn't need food, but boy does he want some chocolate cake.

Voice activated Meccanoid crashes a RAD photo.....!
Meccanoid found it difficult to hear voice commands in the exhibition environment, so he got bored, whistled a bit, and practiced his dance and Kung Fu moves.
On the left, RAD 1.0 c.1998 and on the right, RAD 4.0 c.2001.
Robot butler from the defunct Horizons ride at Epcot, taken "in ride."
Luckily, the ride had stopped, allowing me a chance at a clean crisp photo. This is one of my favorite shots I've ever taken of anything.
I miss Horizons greatly.

Enhanced Omnibot shows off the new grippers on his power arms. His brain is a stack of 5 UNOs - 1 master and 4 slaves which control his servos, his synthesized voice (SPO256 "Narrator" using allophones), and his front panel matrix display.

The story:- these three reprobates seem to be holed up together in a derelict house on planet earth!

this quilt was machine pieced and quilted. the fabric is Robot by David Walker. i wanted to showcase the center fabric. so cute!
i cut strips of varying width, adding snippets here and there, till i was happy.
finished size 37x33.
Started with the background which are white fairy lights draped over a blue towel. Aperture was set wide to complete the bokeh effect. Shutter speed then adjusted to find correct exposure. I then adjusted WB to tungsten to change the white lights to blue.
Strainer is on glass with black card underneath. Crosslit across robot' sides with the main aim of making the eyes glow.. CTO is used on the right flash to bring back to white. Red used on the left which became a more orange due to the WB setting. Grids prevented spill on the background.
Cropped and despeckled in PS
