Henri Maillardet's Automaton at The Franklin Institute Scien

it's just mind boggling how those movements can be stored.i know it has been done,but to try to imagine the process is killing my brain :P
i love these creations

Absolutely magnificent. I can't imagine why people are complaining about this being considered more famous than Megaman. It's a clockwork automaton that can write and draw with amazing detail and flourish and it's almost 200 years old!!

ahaha looking at the comments, it's like comparing pron and the real thing.

You guys... The percentages have no meaning. The inductees aren't determined by their position on the web poll, they are picked by a jury, who base their decisions on a multitude of factors.

The web poll has very little bearing on who actually wins.

Please stop leaving idiotic comments, this is an educational video posted by an established museum. Go leave your BS comments on Kotaku where they belong, not here.

Mega Man isn't fucking real. This is a 200 year old robot that actually writes. That's amazing, this should win.

isnt he that "topsy-turvy" boss in the Dynamite Headdy game??? He surely looks like something in the game or rather something Treasure conjured up. I think actually the way automatons work is quite like the puppets on Dynamite Headdy. I used to play that game all the time and not one the virtual console....on sega genesis.
