Automatons: The Original Robots

[@nayandusoruth2468]

They are f*cking awesome machines, and the art of making these should be brought back, but i wouldn't trust them enough to not put them in a barricaded closest at night. They are so eerily similar to the real things they imitate, as to have dropped into the uncanny valley...

[@Zula_The_Squid]

Them being in the uncanny valley is the most beautiful thing about them

[@bluetaigax1747]

Yeah the should be brought back, there are some examples of these like those music box it's made from wooderfulife music box. They sell it at a store here in the philippines at hobbes and landes. Pure automata with a programed music in it

[@inhalefarts]

There's an automaton in your closet right now breakdancing

[@apple_macos_finder9853]

Animatronics are actually these modernised version of these robots.

[@AffordBindEquipment]

The movie Hugo is totally worth the watch.

[@DrillEntertainmentNetwork]

its scary

[@rampagingarsonist8381]

@@DrillEntertainmentNetwork you're scary

[@stef4788]

i tried watching it when i was 10, i got really freaked out when hugo himself started turning into clockwork.

[@AffordBindEquipment]

@@stef4788 must have been some animated version, for in the live action one, he doesn't do that.

[@stef4788]

[@peterah7957]

Incredible.... I think we overlook theses historical geniuses

[@Gearz-365]

Despite the outbreak of digital technology, I think there will be a time in the future where clockwork technology will make a bigger comeback because of its fascination. Gears and cogs turning is a very cool and fascinating thing to watch and the art of making them is just as beautiful. Me being a clockwork and steampunk fan, I think it's fun tinkering with clocks and other mechanical instruments. Sure, it won't completely replace electronic devices, but I think they will come back eventually

[@ghostrider8307]

I hope old school tech comes back and saves us from Digital World. I’m a manufacturer of gears from India and I’m Highly intrigued by the concept of automatons. Glad we share same choices.

[@m3vm3]

we first need more hobbyist to re-adopt it

[@Coppermeshman]

Believe me they still do, they quite efficient at certain tasks.

[@AbdullahAsim-m4e]

This is my first time seeing this clockwork stuff and i'm finding it AMAZING. how can i learn it? do you know any resources like yt channels and stuff?

[@benjaminwebb5759]

So beautiful the clock work, the gears. I love anything mechanical watch like.

[@zindy29]

These are genius and the people who designed and built them are truly amazing.

robot nowadays, program, game and software is an art too..

[@anoblefish411]

you have no idea how complicated those things are

[@omerhalitipekci2256]

They were beyond their time

[@alisalauzon9291]

BRING THEM BACK !! Very awsome !

[@Badusername2000]

Surprised no one has mentioned it yet but if you love the concept of automatons, play the game series syberia, based in a world where these got a lot more popular than they ever did irl

[@letsgetunknown5637]

Loved this, loved the music too

FOR SUPEEERRRR EARTH...!!!!

Inacreditável, o robô vitoriano desenha melhor que eu

[@DrTinaRichardson-wu6vl]

Very interesting. Thanks for the history research.

[@sharleseyy6873]

When I was still in 3rd grade my dream is to built an automata because of a certain anime I watched and I'm in high school now and it is still one of my dreams cause I'm really interested in them they work without electricity the it looks like they were build by aliens. I want to build an automata that can play 10 different types of music.

[@SirYeetU]

AUTOMATON? FOR SUPER EARTHHHH!!!

[@Jeanclaudevanderfield]

I am a fulltime automaton builder that posts some of my lifesize works here on KZbin, but I always end up browsing other videos on automata. Every time, I end up being inspired by videos of such amazing pieces such as this one and get so excited to get back into the shop creating! Thanks for sharing such incredible pieces!!

[@kirovkirov8825]

Plato's robot that performed many tasks is missing though antedated this other automatons for almost twenty centuries.

[@MrReaperofDead]

What's the name of the music used in the video?

[@kid-ava]

these look terrifying, but also pretty fucking sick

[@anastasiaphan4202]

Yess. I've found the name of that movie which has a writing automaton. Hugo.

[@ManoMano-oy6bi]

The name of the music ?

[@kindaclassykindachola]

Creepy but cool.

[@TheMAnimal617]

I think some of the people commenting about wanting to see a renaissance in this don’t see that this science and art might have found many new applications already and have applied the principles to other things.

[@heru-deshet359]

IMO this takes more intelligence and talent to create than writing a program for an animatronic puppet.

[@misspetietianone3330]

I once saw such an intriguing daily activity behind a hospital. Some kind of mechanical person & a dog walked clickwise around a track & a mechanical blackbird swooped left to right, following a direct course. This took place every day. I went back to track it down but it wasn't there. What was it? Dog training?

[@ifowallace9622]

Impresionante. Anque asustan un poco.

Watchmakers Made: automatons, clocks and watches, music boxes, and Locke system on guns.

[@paulsmith-gi5vm]

Slightly tiffed that the automatons of Hero of Alexandria and the Japanese tea servers weren't mentioned.They are centuries older and likely inspired many of the recent creations shown.- kzbin.info/www/bejne/a32lnaipiqlmgck kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2XMgYqFetirmck

[@ЛЬВИНИ]

Very nice, like

[@unemployedgringo]

Offensive that they label this as art, this is cutting edge engineering even to this day, and is even more impressive than typical modern engineering projects.

[@carolynzaremba5469]

Art is not offensive. There is an art to engineering.

[@ehab9877]

Well said 🌹🌹

[@georgiebennett3336]

So basically, this is the earliest form of "Non-Traditional" advertising for clocks.

[@noora9604]

The first to make a robotic man is the island’s Muslim scholar Badīʿ az-Zaman Abu l-ʿIzz ibn Ismāʿīl ibn ar-Razāz al-Jazarī was a Muslim polymath: a scholar, inventor, mechanical engineer, artisan, artist and mathematician from Jazira.

They creep me out a bit because some of them are very real looking but they just do the same thing over and over. You might briefly mistake it for a real person, then you realize that something's off.
