An elaborate and famous medieval galleon automaton at the British Museum. It was designed to trundle along a grand table to announce a banquet. It was made by Hans Schlottheim of Augsburg (1545-1625).
NOTE: Look "wall-eyed" at the top pair or "cross-eyed" at the bottom pair to get a 3D image from the fused pictures. Another illustration.
Here's a helpful tip for viewing stereo pairs.
Neil Creek has even more information about 3D photo viewing.

Milkmaid and cow automaton clock, about 1600
Unknown maker, Poland
Spring-driven with fusee, verge escapement, balance, hour-striker
Octavious Morgan Bequest, 1888
P&E 1888, 1201.122
"The standing farmer on the top of this rare clock indicates the time with his staff. The cow's eyes move back and forth, and when a switch is set, the milkmaid 'milks' the cow. Liquid held in a reservoir inside it comes out of the udder as she moves her arms up and down. Clockmaking in Poland was influenced by the south German makers who settled there." (exhibit text)

Clockwork Automatons were often used as table centrepieces for grand dinners - they had many moving parts. This one actually fired a tiny cannon!

This beat apparently made headlines--it's a robot dog from the 1880s, that nods and snuffles and such. Tres steampunk, but in a horrid sort of way, without any glamor.
Flame-bearing automaton
The Fire Garden at Tate Modern, one of the events to mark the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London as part of Great Fire 350.
Fire Garden
A crackling, spitting, after-dark adventure
Compagnie Carabosse disrupt public spaces with flaming artworks that remind us of our most elemental human need.
With burning metal structures, cascading candles and flickering flowerpots, Fire Garden transformed the front lawn of Tate Modern into a crackling and spitting, after-dark adventure as part of London's Burning. With live music and other intriguing goings-on, audiences were invited to experience fire like never before and remember the blaze that changed London forever.
One of France’s most prominent street art groups, Compagnie Carabosse are a collective comprising of artistic designers, constructors, actors, musicians, technicians, inventors, poets, photographers and visual artists. For almost 20 years they have been working in public spaces throughout Europe and the world. They are driven by the philosophy that public spaces and streets should remain open to everyone and be a place for self expression and freedom.
