Senster (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Senster was a work of robotic art created by Edward Ihnatowicz. It was commissioned by Philips to be exhibited in the Evoluon, in Eindhoven, the Netherlands and was on display from 1970 to 1974, when it was dismantled. It was the first work of robotic sculpture to be controlled by a digital computer. It was about 8 feet (2.5m) high "at the shoulder" and about 15 feet (4 m) long, constructed of welded steel tubing and actuated by hydraulic rams. There were four microphones and two Doppler radar sensors mounted on its "head," which were used to sense the sound and movement of the people around it.
