Cyberneticzoo – A History of Cybernetic Animals and early Robots

Bin eben dank Clockworker Captain Serenus auf den Blog Cyberneticzoo von Reuben Hoggett gestoßen, der sich ausschließlich mit Animatronics, früher Robotertechnik und anderen Maschinen beschäftigt.

Reuben Hoggett has had a life-long interest in robots. His earliest images are that of Grey Walter’s tortoise as illustrated in Nigel Calder’s book ‘Robots’, an image of Bruce Lacey’s robot best ‘man’  Rosabosom in a 60′s newspaper article, and Dr Who and the Daleks, of course. These books and articles he still has after 40 odd years. Over that time his personal collection of all things robotic has been growing.  Aspects of his robotics interest were re-kindled some years ago after reading an article on the recent discovery and restoration of Grey Walter’s own tortoise by those at Bristol Robotics Lab. After starting a friendship with robot builder and historian David Buckley, some of his efforts have been published on David’s site.  With the amount of material he has on the early history of robots, there is at least 2 years of work effort if each robot gets its own blog entry each night.

Beim ersten überfliegen bin ich auch schon auf obiges Motiv eines frühen Power-Skelett mit dem kernigen Namen “GE Handyman” gestoßen, welches anfang der 50er Jahre der Fachwelt vergestellt wurde. Toller Blog, der umgehend in den Feedreader kommt. via clockworker
