Future Robot Theatre History of Robot Theatre From antiquity until 1996 Heron’s Book Automata Robot Theatre of Hero • A collection of constructions called miracles of Alexandria (thaumata) for temples. • Heron describes automatic rotating objectives, noise such as thunder, automatic opening doors. • Philon from Byzanz describes the existence of automata in his book Mechaniki syntaxis, that includes pneumatic apparatus and automatic astronomical devices as early as 300 BC. Albertus Magnus and his robot head Albertus is recorded as having made a mechanical automaton in the form of a brass head that would answer questions put to it. Knight of Leonardo Da Vinci 1. Leonardo's robot refers to a humanoid automaton designed by Leonardo da Vinci around the year 1495. 2. The design notes for the robot appear in sketchbooks that were rediscovered in the 1950s. 3. It is not known whether or not an attempt was made to build the device during da Vinci's lifetime. 4. Since the discovery of the sketchbook, the robot has been built faithfully based on Leonardo's design; this proved it was fully functional. Duck of Vaucanson • The Canard Digérateur, or Digesting Duck, was an automaton in the form of a duck, created by Jacques de Vaucanson in 1739. • The mechanical duck appeared to have the ability to eat kernels of grain, and to metabolize and defecate them Constructed and unveiled in 1770 by Wolfgang von Turk of Kempelen Kempelen (1734–1804) to impress the Empress Maria Theresa • The Turk was in fact a mechanical illusion that allowed a human chess master hiding inside to operate the machine.
