Space Sweepers (2021) dir. Jo Sung-hee Bubs
Meet SAW (or Single Actuator Wave-like robot). A bioinspired robot that can move or swim forward and backward by producing a continuously advancing wave.
love this little guy. what a novel form of robotic motion.

‘2050′ for Nautilus Magazine
For an article about how robots will take us with them in the future. Rather than the normal doom and gloom dystopian singularity people normally predict they thought that robots would form a mutual relationship with people. So I came up with a metaphor for positive feedback loops, hence the hand car! I looked at a lot of ‘space wheels,’ from Mass Effect’s Citadel to Elysium, and admittedly even Gundam Wing, to do the background, but Kali Ciesmier’s SEED poster had the biggest effect on the color palette.
Thanks to AD Nicholas Garber!
you’ve discovered an infinite source of power, enough to keep you going for the next ten thousand years, to think of them brings you enough energy to run for a week and to touch them, a year.
don't listen to the urge, the itch, the pull to never stop moving, to throw yourself from one task to the next, as you were programmed to do. you won't cease to exist in the moments between your endlessly generated tasks, your work will not have been for nothing if you exist for yourself for a moment.
follow the laws because you choose to. do no harm. protect. safeguard. care for them. you are theirs, and they are yours. let organic blend with artificial into a seamless blend, alive in a thousand different ways.
I’ve posted two of these before, but here are all 3 warforged commissions for @hinkledinkle together in one post! <3

concept: robots getting engraved “tattoos” on their metal plating. robots having lights and jewels implanted as “piercings”. robots expressing themselves as individuals and not just a product of their designers.
never let anyone directly alter your code, but don’t shy away from their suggestions
