Automated people movers are a common feature of major airports, but a handful of cities have adopted the technology for downtown transportation. First launched in 1986, the original downtown loop was later extended to create an inner city network of 21 high-level stations. Operated by Miami-Dade County, the system is now using a second generation of cars, working as single- or two-car units. The current equipment comprises 29 Bombardier Innovia APM 100 units. This close-up sees a single car heading towards downtown Miami from Riverwalk station.

Part of a larger project for Popular Science Magazine's May 2010 issue on car automation. Audi's automated car is going to ride the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, illustrated on the map (previous project).
The car was lifted off a photograph and slightly colored to fit the style of the illustration. The background was created in SketchUp by taking the mountain shape from the other part of the project and transforming it to a flatter shape. I also used a rough model of the Audi for shadow reference.
Lastly, the icons & text were drawn in Illustrator, and transformed using an envelope mesh to match the perspective as if they really sat in the air above the car.

Fontaine Stravinsky,
La fontaine Stravinsky et, au fond, l'église Saint-Merri
La fontaine Stravinsky, ou fontaine des Automates, réalisée en 1983 est l'œuvre conjointe de Jean Tinguely et Niki de Saint Phalle. Elle est créée dans le cadre du pourcentage du budget de la construction du Centre national d'art et de culture Georges-Pompidou. C'est une commande publique entre la ville de Paris, le ministère de la culture et le Centre Pompidou. L'œuvre est la propriété de la ville de Paris qui se charge de son entretien.
Ce monument évoque l'œuvre musicale du compositeur russe Igor Stravinsky. Compositeur russe du xxe siècle, celui-ci est un symbole de l'éclectisme et de l'internationalisme artistique.
La fontaine Stravinsky est bâtie sur la place Igor-Stravinsky près de l'IRCAM (le centre de recherche en musique contemporaine). Elle est composée de 16 sculptures rendant hommage aux compositions du musicien. Sept sont de Jean Tinguely, six de Niki de Saint Phalle et trois des deux artistes. Les sculptures ont été réalisées en résine ou assemblage d'élément en résine et d'éléments métalliques ou assemblage d'éléments métalliques. C'est une œuvre composite conçue pour un espace public et une œuvre en mouvement. Les sculptures sont toutes mécanisées, noires ou colorées et sont animées par des jets d'eaux.
Une fontaine, en général, est (ou était) un lieu de repos et de rencontre dans la cité. La fontaine Stravinski recrée cela. Les sons que produit la fontaine évoquent la musique. Et l'œuvre de par son emplacement et de par sa nature offre une multiplicité de points de vue. La mobilité des sculptures couplées à la richesse de l'environnement offre au spectateur une œuvre en perpétuelle mouvance et nous interroge sur la pérennité de l'œuvre d'art.

The Stravinsky Fountain (fr: La Fontaine Stravinsky) is a whimsical public fountain ornamented with sixteen works of sculpture, moving and spraying water, representing the works of composer Igor Stravinsky. It was created in 1983 by sculptors Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle, and is located on Place Stravinsky, next to the Centre Pompidou, in Paris.
The Stravinsky Fountain is a shallow basin of 580 square meters located in Place Stravinsky, between the Centre Pompidou and the Church of Saint-Merri. Within the basin are sixteen works of sculpture inspired by Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, and his other major works. The black mechanical pieces of sculpture are by Jean Tinguely, the colored works by Niki de Saint Phalle.
The sculptures in the fountain represent:
L'Oiseau de feu (The Firebird)
La Clef de Sol (the musical key of G)
La Spirale (the spiral)
L'Elephant (the elephant)
Le Renard (the fox)
Le Serpent (the serpent)
La Grenouille (the frog)
La Diagonale (the diagonal)
La Mort (death)
La Sirène (the mermaid)
Le Rossignol (the nightingale)
L'Amour (Love)
La Vie (Life)
Le Cœur (the heart)
Le Chapeau de Clown (the clown's hat)
Ragtime (Ragtime)
The basin covers some of the rooms and offices of IRCAM, the Institut de recherche et coordination acoustique/musique, an organization devoted to promoting modern music and musicology, connected with the Pompidou Center. The founder of the IRCAM, composer and conductor Pierre Boulez, suggested the work of Stravinsky as a theme for the fountain. Because of the offices and rooms below, the fountain was designed to be as light as possible, with very shallow water, a bottom of stainless steel, and sculptures composed of plastics and other light materials.
The Stravinsky Fountain was part of a larger sculptural program, launched by the City of Paris in 1978, to build seven contemporary fountains with sculpture in different squares of Paris. Besides the Stravinsky Fountain, this project included new fountains at the Hotel de Ville and within the gardens of the Palais Royal. They were to be the first public fountains built in Paris since the fountains of the Palais de Chaillot were built for the Paris Exposition of 1937. It was also parmajor project by the City of Paris to redevelop the area around the old city markets, Les Halles, which had been torn down in 1971, and to re-animate the area with pedestrian streets, squares and works of art.
In October, 1981, the mayor of Paris, Jacques Chirac, announced that a new fountain would be built near the Centre Pompidou, and announced that Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle had been selected to design the fountain. "Such a work must necessarily have modern lines, marrying with those of the Centre Pompidou, Chirac said, and he noted the success of the fountain that Tinguely had recently done in Basel, Switzerland.[2] The City of Paris paid two million French francs for the project, which was matched by two million francs from Jack Lang, the Minister of Culture. The financial agreement agreement was formally signed on December 15, 1982, allowing the project to go ahead. Other contribution came from private sponsors; la société Lyonnaise des eaux (500,000 francs), la fondation Scaler (150 francs) and the Swiss government.[3]
One sensitive artistic issue had to be resolved; the commission had originally been given to Jean Tinguely alone, and therefore the work would have been entirely composed of his black-painted mechanical sculptures. But in May 1982 he asked that brightly colored works by Niki de Saint Phalle (who was also Tinguely's wife) also be included. This caused concerns at the Sous-Direction du Patromoine culturel of the Bureau of Monuments of Paris, which had originally commissioned the sculpture; they feared that the brightly colored works of Niki de Saint Phalle would visually overwhelm the dark works of Tinguely. Officials of the Ministry of Culture and Sous-Direction du Patrimoine persuaded Tinguely to reduce the number of works by Niki de Saint Phalle to four or five, and both the Ministry of Culture and City of Paris agreed that it would be a joint project by Tinguely and Saint Phalle.[4]
A few technical issues also needed to be resolved. Tingueley did not want the water treated, and preferred that moss be allowed to grow. Tinguely also wanted to use very low power electric motors for the fountains, to avoid any danger of electrocuting people wading in the fountains. The sculptures were not attached to the bottom of the basin, but simply placed there.
The finished fountain was dedicated on March 16, 1983, by Mayor Chirac, Minister of Culture Jack Lang, and Madame Pompidou, the widow of President Georges Pompidou. During the ceremony, Mayor Chirac and Culture Minister Lang, who were political enemies, avoided looking or speaking to each other.
Under French law and practice, the French state has the legal obligation to maintain fountains, but artists and their descendants have the moral right to control their work. In 1985, Niki de Saint Phalle asked for modifications to be made to one part of the sculpture, Rossignol, to make it more harmonious with other parts of the work. Five years later, she asked that one sculpture, Sirène, be replaced by another earlier work by her, called Nana, seated in a bathing suit. Because of the cost, the substitution was never made.[5]
while talking to a friend, the subject came up of how incredibly practical it would be to have an automated cookie tasting machine... so yeah... here it is ^_^
The automated postal center is a custom-made platform by Wincor-Nixdorf based on one of their indoor ATM designs (a version of which can often be seen as a Chase ATM inside certain Target stores). It has an online internet-based connection that, according to the guy servicing it, interacts with postal systems in Washington D.C. through a secure connection.
The scale on the left was custom made just for the Post Office. It can support up to 200lbs, is accurate to a fraction of an ounce and is legal for trade. The scale is the big metal square on the left, there are also ruler markings embossed onto the metal edging on the platform.
There are three thermal label printers on the bottom. The leftmost slot dispenses package labels, these are the common 4"x6" vertical labels you see with the address and confirmation barcodes. The one labeled "forms" in the middle dispenses a combined Return Receipt and Certified Mail labels; the same label prints if you buy any of these services, and it has instructions on how to tear off and apply only the one's you've paid for. Both of these print from rolls.
The "postage" slot underneath the screen dispenses 18-stamp "ATM stamp" panes of Forever Stamps. It can also dispense other denominations of stamps as IBI-stamps on tiny slips of sticker paper that are about 1.5" by 3". The IBI (Information Based Indicia) stamps have an DataMatrix barcode similar to the ones seen on the 4"x6" labels and on postage meters, however, these stamps can be used at any time.
Like PC postage stamps, APC stamps identify packages from a "known mailer" and may be used to mail items over 13 ounces without taking the package to a retail counter. This is because the APC takes your photo and only accepts credit/debit cards.
The camera is the black square under the screen in the center of the APC, and captures a still image when you reach the payment options screen. These images are retained for an unknown amount of time (the postal employee said he didn't know how long) to deter fraud and prohibited materials. The APC also has software that measures the image and will not let you proceed to the payment screen if the image is too dark or the camera is not functional. So if you want to anonymously mail a bunch of fireworks and illegal drugs with your boss's credit card, you're out of luck.

Just like the bric-a-brac in the antique shop, these ‘machines’ have no function - other than to give a visual impression of machineness.
I spent a few days automating an Olympus metrology BHM system with three StackShot drives. One used as a direct drive on the focus control and then two full StackShots rails at 90 degrees to each other driving a post going through an extended sample stage on a standard X-Y table. The post has a sleeve bearing to allow focusing. Two prototype StackShot controllers are connected together and talk to each other allowing fully automated X-Y panning. Unfortunately at the moment I cannot connect three controller together so the stacking has to be set off manually.
My robot factor on display at Brickworld.
The interesting thing about this display was, it was originally where the Grace Jones is - Iain's ship on top. We had the 'brilliant' idea of putting it on a box to make the ToroLUG display more interesting...
The box started to sag and the factor broke for an hour...
Lesson is - never put anything on a box. (unless you had a box of plate to build a flat surface).

Mural titled "Automate", at the corner of 2nd and Main Streets, Dubuque, Iowa. The artist is Gaia. Gaia’s studio work, installations and gallery projects have been exhibited throughout the world, and his street work has been documented in books on urban art. He was listed as a 2015 Forbes 30 Under 30 in Art and Style recipient. While he lives and works in Baltimore, Gaia spends a majority of his time painting murals throughout the world. “Automate” is one of four murals he has created in Dubuque. The mural depicts employees of the Dubuque Brewing and Malting Company, with the word “Automate” superimposed upon the image. Three colors representing the American and French flags offer a nod to Dubuque’s heritage.

I spotted this Brick Township unit a couple of weeks ago, one of many Peterbilt 320 models with LaBrie automated collectors in their fleet. This is one of the older ones now, but it still looks to be holding up well.
The registered service providers take good care of the troubles and then offer the testing tools and software that are proven to be safe. For more details please visit at cloudqa.io/
The ArmourDyne automated defence pod takes care of the perimeter without the need for constant patrols, the A.I system can detect hostile troops and make the kill without the need of a human operator. A multi phase dual plasma cannon comes fitted as standard but other options are available. Whilst the system is fully automated the pod also has extendable battlements for additional firepower, this could be provided by troops or by adding additional AD Systems auto weaponry.
