Horus 2 - Aluminium Robot Project

Recently, we asked our customers if they would be kind enough to send in some details and pictures of what weird and wonderful things they have created with our metals.

We were all bowled over by this amazing Robotic Sculpture!

This awesome robot was created by Mike Simpkins of Simpkins design.

‘Horus 2 is a robotic sculpture. A work of art that fuses the artistic with the engineered’.


Horus 2 Robot - Simpkins Design

 

Unlike typical robots, Horus 2 refuses to be constrained by its mechanics. In fact, the design process was primarily focused on creating a sleek and elegant appearance for this innovative machine.

Each aspect and every single fully independent action and feature of Horus 2 has been meticulously designed and executed to align with a specific aesthetic.

Utilising precise actions and programming tied to a Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI), Horus 2 strives to exude an air of consciousness, reveal a personality, and foster an emotional bond with its audience.

This remarkable creation prompts us to contemplate our connection with automated intelligence and our thoughts on a constantly evolving, technology-driven future. A true work of art!
