Wired has a nice recap of the ArtBots Robot Talent Show that ran this week. This is the second year that the ArtBots took place and it was part of the EYEBEAM Gallery's summer robotics festival in New York City on July 12-13, 2003. Robot's from the rat brained MEART robotic artist (that we've talked about before), to Lemur musical bots, to BabyBott which loves to be cuddled and many more. ArtBots is not really a competition as much as it is a robot talent show (show and tell). Did anyone get to go?
