Well, I don't think that's a fair comparison. The two are very different in the terms of build and utility. Sophia is already more impressive because of her ability to speak with relative intelligence, free from outside influence. Plus, you have to consider that the effort was put into that said speaking ability, not her ability to move fluidly. If you want something to compete with this, look at some of Boston Dynamic's bots. When you factor in those things' ability to be upgraded ( Which, this could be updated, but the amount of effort needed probably wouldn't justify the end result ) this amazing, but sadly still limited, piece of machinery is blown out of the water. Future is bright, my friend.
I can imagine when these amazing works of art wete being created and displayed to the public that it must have been an extraordinary experience to see them perform. I know TODAY seeing this marvel for the first time, an Automaton , I can't stop watching them. What brilliant minds must have created them. Thank you.
Where can I find very high resolutiomn images and/or videos of the back of the automaton? The key of the mechanism is the part under its shoulders, but all videos I can find are too low in resolution to see needed details, I need to figure out if it uses spherical joints or multi-joints, because I am trying to build a replica. I already built a mechanical arm with 3 DOF which can be driven by a single motor in the body, but I totally invented the mechanis, instead I would like to replicate this one. Any help? Github repos? Blogs?
Those brass disks remind me of the way that the older disney animatronics work. I believe a lot of them run on a series of shaped & stacked vinyls (correct me if im wrong) Very interesting
The first time I ever saw anything like this was in thw film hugo. It has an Automata that looks just like this one and it wouldn't surprise me if it is the same machine Truly amazing that something like thos was built in 1800
Outstanding. Two hundred years ago....
Amazing, this machine moves so much more elegantly than that Sophia the Robot monstrosity they have making the rounds lately.
I watched a video last night where there were rooms filled with robots...

It looks happy.. I am sure its maker must be proud of it..
Oof. Wish I hadn’t binged these before bed. That look at the end.
It's the please adopt and bring me to your home look.
You my friend needs a pair 🤣
I saw this at the Franklin Institute over 60 years ago and it is the source of my love and admiration for automata of all kinds now.
So lovely. What an accomplishment.
How do they carve those cams to make the machine's movements so precise?
Absolutely amazing. Splendid. Awesome!
A robot today would not be able to write or draw like that. Genius engineering.
Beautiful creature

Why nobody make those anymore ? I would love to have one ❤️
I mean people do, but the specific techniques tended to die with their creator so it's something of a lost art
It costed a small fortune back in the day, you can certain have one made today but it would cost the same small fortune.
There are people making these...just don't expect they be cheap...
Wonderful, thank you for sharing this! 🙄
That's amazing... draws better than me

Very interesting
stunning and incredible

That was awesome and creepy at the same time.
So sad it's only in 360p
Иван Иванов that’s a fair point & honestly a bit odd all things considered
yes this is amazing but the automaton looking through the screen is just creepy
The 1st record player? 🤔
Here from Atlas Obscura.
🤖 Thank You!
Is this RA9?
📙💯
Brilliant toy
I don’t know about toy
meh, I have a printer
Hugo, anyone?
It doesn’t need a face
Maybe you don’t either. I have my scalpel, here...
