Albert Einstein model head
Albert Einstein model head. This model is based on the head of Albert Einstein and will be used as a template for a robot Albert Einstein. The Einstein robot, created by US robot designer David Hanson, is covered with a spongy polymer called Frubber that is light and flexible enough to be controlled by small servo motors within the robot head. The arrows and lines on the model head indicate the pulling forces of the motors on the frubber skin. The Einstein robot also contains motion detecting and speech recognition sensors that send signals to an external computer running artificial intelligence software. The computer reacts by controlling 33 servo motors within the robot head which produce life-like facial expressions. Photographed in 2007

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary model head of Albert Einstein, meticulously crafted to serve as a prototype for a robot version of the renowned physicist. Designed by US robot creator David Hanson, this cutting-edge Einstein robot is covered in Frubber, a lightweight and flexible polymer that can be easily manipulated by small servo motors within its head. The intricate arrows and lines adorning the model head indicate the precise pulling forces exerted by these motors on the frubber skin, enabling realistic facial expressions. However, this remarkable creation goes beyond mere physicality. Equipped with motion detecting and speech recognition sensors, the Einstein robot communicates with an external computer running advanced artificial intelligence software. Photographed in 2007 at a technology workshop in Richardson, Texas, this image captures the essence of innovation and engineering prowess prevalent in 21st-century North America. It exemplifies how robotics has transcended traditional boundaries to create lifelike replicas capable of interacting intelligently with humans. While not explicitly mentioned for commercial purposes or associated with any specific company, this photograph from Science Photo Library offers us a glimpse into the fascinating world of robotics and highlights how technological advancements continue to push boundaries in our quest for human-like machines.
