My humanoid robot that used to play in the office is now entering retirement at the Computer History Museum. She would shuffle cups and Hot Wheels, and the programming was performed by simply moving the arms to perform the desired tasks.

I called her Robot Dawn. She was the very first sale for Rodney Brooks’ Rethink Robotics.

And now, after my donation to CHM, they sent me a sneak peek from an upcoming publication of theirs.

  1. Dawn had quite the modelling career: Hard LoveBut showed signs of burnout from overwork early on: Happy Cinco de Mayo

  2. I always thought that was one cool office mate… though not really sure what he could do for me… my wife is enamored with the Roomba…. and she is definitely not a techie…. and I so wanted the Heathkit Hero. We all need a personal version of ST:TNG Data… 😉
