You can see the whole blog post and all the photos collected by Robert E. Jackson here - https://flashbak.com/15-fabulous-vintage-snapshots-of-robots-415451/, but this photo is my favorite!
Between the photos are some great quotes from sci-fi writers. Two of the best are these classics...
“Whether we are based on carbon or on silicon makes no fundamental difference; we should each be treated with appropriate respect.” — Arthur C. Clarke, 2010: Odyssey Two Space Odyssey
“The Three Laws of Robotics:
1: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm;
2: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law;
3: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law;
The Zeroth Law: A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.”Note: The Zeroth Law was added later, making Four Laws
— Isaac Asimov, I Robot
If we are going vintage, here is my vintage blog logo. This is based on an old cover for R.U.R., or Rossum's Universal Robots. See my previous post - https://roboticsunderthestole.blogspot.com/2016/05/rur.html
