Al-Jazari described complex programmable humanoid automata amongst other machines he designed and constructed in the Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices in 1206. [23] His automaton was a boat with four automatic musicians that floated on a lake to entertain guests at royal drinking parties. [24] His mechanism had a programmable drum machine with pegs ( cams) that bump into little levers that operate the percussion. The drummer could be made to play different rhythms and drum patterns if the pegs were moved around. [25] According to Charles B. Fowler, the automata were a "robot band" which performed "more than fifty facial and body actions during each musical selection." [26]

Since 1990 Dutch artist Theo Jansen has been building large automated PVC structures called strandbeest (beach animal) that can walk on wind power or compressed air. Jansen claims that he intends them to automatically evolve and develop artificial intelligence, with herds roaming freely over the beach. Hall, Loura (1 April 2016).

Well in 1980, Defender was hot stuff, but by 81 or 82, players were looking for a new thrill and rather than throw out a perfectly good cabinet and monitor, the practice was to convert the cab to run another game. Many of these games did not stand the test of time and are not considered the masterpieces that Defender is. Ultimately most of these cabs were converted to “Jamma”. Jamma in an industry standard that lets you plug in and swap game PCBs easily without having to modify the control panel, power supply and wiring. Sadly in meant the original control panels, electronics and marquees were often junked. This is the condition that my new Defender cab was in. Defender, converted to Jamma. Rosheim, Mark E. (1994), Robot Evolution: The Development of Anthrobotics, Wiley-IEEE, p. 36, ISBN 0-471-02622-0 The Renaissance witnessed a considerable revival of interest in automata. Hero's treatises were edited and translated into Latin and Italian. Hydraulic and pneumatic automata, similar to those described by Hero, were created for garden grottoes. Immortals Fenyx Rising (2020) includes a side plot featuring a fallen Hephaistos and his automatons, complete with an automaton boss fight. [69]

This is what the spring looks like when it's totally wound down. When it's wound up tightly, it fits entirely inside the white box. It's quite hard to squeeze sturdy metal into such a small space—and that's why it can store energy so effectively: the harder you have to work to compress a

It’s remarkable how much support this ancient console has and it’s not just games. People have been developing controllers, light guns, speech synths, extra processors, 3D Imagers and all kinds of peripherals for it. A banquet in Camilla of Aragon's honor in Italy, 1475, featured a lifelike automated camel. [42] The spectacle was a part of a larger parade which continued over days.

The SS Marie Antoinette crashed on Earth for at least 65 million years, due to their knowledge of dinosaur biology. Its robot crew managed to remain functional by constantly replacing the faulty parts with both organic and mechanic spares collected from their surroundings. These "spare parts" included dinosaur organs and Roman metalwork. However, as of the late 19th century, they changed their components so many times that almost nothing remained of the original androids. By that time, their ship had been reworked into a fake restaurant where unaware human victims were abducted and their organs harvested; the bodies were then burned to hide the missing parts. When the droids murdered a tyrannosaurus rex accidentally brought forward in time by the TARDIS for its optic nerve, the freshly-regenerated Twelfth Doctor found their base of operations and confronted their control node aboard the escape capsule of the ship — an enormous hot-air balloon made of human skin. The robots deactivated when the Half-Face Man fell to his death on the top of Big Ben. ( TV: Deep Breath [+] Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 8 ( BBC One, 2014).)

They are supposed to have an evil spirit coiled in their spring, twisting it tighter and never allowing them to stop.
