100 years ago Czech playwright Karel Čapek published Rossumovi Univerzální Roboti giving us the word #robot. While #mythology of breathing life into machines is as old as Gods, Capek challenged us to reflect on the intimate relationship between #technology, #capitalism, #agency

@wonderofscience Perhaps #soft and #squishy is the way to go for our machines of the #future ? We made a start but we have a little way to go to match the microscope world.

@itsfic @UniofNottingham Thanks for sharing this guys,. Our little Robot Art and Design studio is very cautious to work with universities. they dont understand the reality of running a small business. They assume everyone is on a lucrative salary. This needs to change.

[Rusty Squid @RustySquidLtd]

This is where #Robotics starts to get really interesting. Customizable gestures will bring out hidden biases and nuanced assumptions from different cultures around the world. We cannot wait to see what the #artists of the #future will do with this #technology.

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.
@rustysquid is following in the footsteps of pioneers working to integrate #philosophy #engineering and the #arts

@MaxHumphries Thanks for sharing Max, it's always a treat for us Squids to see your unique mechanisms. All the best with the project.

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. @DrDihal, @stephenjcave

Just arrived in #Bristol from #İstanbul. It’s been an amazing first week supporting @davidmcgoran building @RustySquidLtd‘s next phase of the business. I’m looking forward to meeting the communities of @BristolRobotLab, @PMStudioUK, @PuppetPlace, @_SpikeIsland and @EngineShed_BB.

"perhaps intelligence is not computational" challenge accepted @rodneyabrooks 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.
