  • Betrayer, on 05/01/2008, -0/+2# is not 'natural' i.e. artificially created
    # can sense its environment, and manipulate or interact with things in it
    # has some ability to make choices based on the environment, often using automatic control or a preprogrammed sequence
    # is programmable
    # moves with one or more axes of rotation or translation
    # makes dexterous coordinated movements
    # appears to have intent or agency

    technically not a ROBOT but it is a cool form of art.
  • RipleyIsDead, on 05/01/2008, -0/+0But they're NOT robots, they just LOOK like robots... Aaaaargh! Are REAL robots too much to ask for?!?
  • WiretapStudios, on 05/01/2008, -0/+0I've been friends with Lockwasher on Flickr for a while now, it's good to see him on Digg. He does really clean professional work, it looks less like 'junk' and more like an extensively crafted metal robot you used to see back in the day, only with a more unique quality, since there are only one of each.
  • Manny70, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1Robots, rayguns, recycling. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Rrrrrrr! Awesome creations. Thanks for sharing.
  • rainydaywoman, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1The humans are dead...
