I worked with Andy and Nolan back in the day. I was just a pup then but they inspired me to keep going with my own dreams. I will never give up pioneering developments for true home robotics. Thanks Andy and Nolan.
Totally RAD! It is WAY cool to see where they were building those bots. The transparent version must have been an early prototype. Thanks for resurrecting this footage. It is REALLY hard to find video of this robot.
The Androbot company had come a long way and became a success. I wish the Androbot company was still in buisiness,that would be awesome! Until then,I'll keep looking for Topo and other androbots. They are just outstanding robots.
I have been looking for one of these for well over a decade. At first it was for the great interest of mine of how advanced and amazing 80's robots were.. Now I want to find one to make as a ring bearer for my wedding in the near future!
I sold a similar robot back in the late 80's, I don't remember the name, but it used Basic instructions and connected to a PC. I think it sold for $1500. The main feature were the robotic arms , you could program it to go to the kitchen and get a soda for you.
Hmm, I seen these advertised in Robotics Age Magazine in the 80's. But wow, are they hollow shells. $1,600 in 1982 is worth $4,941.13 today. 👀 Subscribed to see more coOL videos.
