Could This Clockwork Robot Beat You At Chess?

That was incredible engineering. Thanks indeed with this wonderful documentary

I loved this fascinating documentary! I'm absolutely blown away to learn just how influential the concept of automata was. Incredible artwork and dedication in these beautiful devices

I never thought that documentary about watches - Automator’s would be as interesting! Thank you!

Great film. Although I wanted it to explore earlier in to the history of clockwork technologies.
I had questions about where would it have originated from? And, how did the original engineers/designers pair the math, the metal working and the resources needed to make such things?
Like.... what materials would they have had to make the first prototypes out of, Wood?
My mind is completely blown when I think of where and how this kind of tech links to ancient history.
Make another film about that, you need to do a prequel 🤣

I hope they can also document the secrets in skinwalker ranch.

Thanks 🙏 automata have been my favorite things since I was a child. Back in the 60s I got some really cool toys that were really automata that work on clockwork.

Thank you. I hope the AI feels very proud coming such a long way

What about ancient clocks and mechanisms?

[@imoviestudios96]

would the turkish chessplayer still be able to keep up with a digitally programmed one? I don't know enough about chess, but damn I'd watch that match

Clockworks trying to copy Gods handy work

[@Paul-hl8yg]

And theres even evidence the clock works actually exist!!
