The secret to the #future of #Robotics lies in the past The Löwenmensch figurine from #Germany is the oldest known #statue. It dates 40,000 years ago. This act of carving would have been as much of an advanced technology as robotics is for us today. Visit goo.gl/t8Spvu

Robot Loave anyone?

"perhaps intelligence is not computational" challenge accepted Rodney Brooks Our little robotic art and design studio has been experimenting with fresh metaphors. Rather than intelligent perhaps we should think of ourselves as a relational fields. youtu.be/0XGm2WDMuUM

Our little #Robot #art and #design studio cant be more excited about this new book coming out. Its so easy to assume that our current cultures feelings towards "intelligent machines " is normal. Oh how wrong we are. Kanta Dihal, Stephen Cave #AINarratives #Robotics #Futures

Hero The greek philosopher is not only famous for building the first steam engine; he also built a mechanical play powered by a binary-like system of ropes and knots. john hall is following in the footsteps of pioneers working to integrate #philosophy #engineering and the #arts

For those interested in #Robotics and #animatronics We can't stress enough how important it is to understand the fundamentals of #puppetry and #movement. We still have a few places left on our Neutral Puppet workshop. don't forget we have student discounts available.

Wow! The #Animatronics workshop is now sold out and the Neutral #Puppet workshop is filling up fast But don’t worry we'll be running the workshops again in a few weeks! To get your name on the waiting list: mail us on [email protected] join us on rustysquid.org.uk
