Kevin Drum has an interesting piece at Mother Jones about the rapidly advancing state of robotics technology, but I’m even more fascinated by these accompanying illustrations by Roberto Parada.
Cool typographic illustrations inspired by pop culture robots from artist Peter Ware. More at his Etsy store.

See a prototype of Detroit’s ten-foot-tall Robocop statue before it’s cast in bronze
In 2011, Twitter user MT suggested to Detroit Mayor Dave Bing that a statue of Robocop would make a “great ambassador” for Detroit. From that seed of an idea, the “Detroit Needs Robocop” project raised over $60,000 through Kickstarter to actually build a life-sized or larger replica of one of the city’s most famous icons. After two years of planning, scanning, and fabrication, the project’s creators have posted pictures of a ten-foot-tall Robocop prototype, ready to be cast in bronze and set up in the city.
Artist Natalie McKean takes biomimicry to a new level with her robotic aquatic creatures. You can see more of her robot-inspired art on Etsy and her website.
Happy Mothers’ Day to all the mother boards out there!
