Jaquet Droz The Writer Automaton From 1774 In Action: Inspired Hugo Movie
ฝัง

- See more @ www.ablogtoread.com. One of three surviving automata from the 18th century built by Jaquet Droz, this is "The Writer" and is the most famous machine. The Writer was the inspiration for the movie Hugo, and still works today. The complex clockwork mechanism brings the "android" to life as it is able to write phrases. Other Jaquet Droz androids from the 18th century could draw and play a piano.
The automaton works fine without him. He was just testing/calibrating it as it was about to be shot for some video. I thought it was interesting to see the worker operate it. There are only a handful of people in the world that know how to maintain these machines.
Thanks for the clarification!
So why didn't you simply and clearly write this in your introduction?
The operator is annoying
Thanks for recording this✌️ What did it write?? 🤗❤️🙏
If you go back to those days of innovation this was a dream to make a human machine that is autonomous.
for a 1774 work of engineering I'm impressed
It is pretty awesome that someone had time and effort to create automaton like that.
In fact it's pretty amazing.
What makes this better is that it was made between 1768 and 1774, just three years after Adolf Frederick died of eating 14 servings of semla.

Must've been diabetic.
Oriru Bastard He ate a lot of dinner and 14 servings of semla. He isn't diabetic, he got digestion problems (probably his gut ruptured) as a result of his eating contest of death and died because of it.

That sexplains.

Remember, diabetes is genetic.
dude this was made in 1774. each piece of that mechanism was made by hand. he didn't make it using a computer or some sort of machining system. no one today could do what this guy did with the resources he had available to him.
Not to dispute the amazing skill it took to create this masterpiece and the others he made, but actually the first machine tools were on their way into being around that time. True metal cutting lathes were invented mid 1700's so the cams he made and shaft they rode on were probably turned to size first but the cam surfaces were absolutely filed into shape by hand. Milling machines didn't come about until after 1800 so much was done by hand with files.
Love it, and there's something so charming about the way he dips his quill into the ink-well.
R U kidding me???!!!! This is brilliant engineering even for 2012! :))) it is fascinating, I'm absolutely speechless.
Dude. are you still?
@@cut-- it's quite of a thing that sticks to say it's fake.
Amazing that these were built so long ago. Seems we should be vacationing on Mars by now.
Talvez estivéssemos se o mundo todo fosse uma só nação, mas nossa tecnologia só é desenvolvida em momentos de grandes necessidades (disputas comerciais, guerras, pandemias, etc). Nossa tecnologia não se desenvolve pra sempre ficar melhor, mas só o suficiente para aquele momento de necessidade. Tanto que usamos motor a combustão até hoje, mais de um século depois dele ter sido inventado, porque é mais barato. Nada de carros voadores...
Because greed is winning over the want for a better humanity
@@jeanrossow5807 a europa naquela época era mais dividida e hoje em dia existe a união européia... você tá bem?
😮 Absolutely incredible
It's quite amazing that this machine, Pierre Jaquet-Droz' "L'écrivain", could had been built at that time.
Why does he keep prodding it? Leave the poor bot alone, he's trying his best. He's 250 years old for pity's sake!
cheeto He’s adjusting it so that it runs properly. If these are not used in this way often, they won’t work anymore. So he’s basically doing his job. Otherwise we wouldn’t see at work today.
When he snapped his fingers at the person recording.. rude😒
over sensitive prune, these new era kids are so soft everything hurts their feelings and are always forcing in their ideals to their so called life goal of giving empathy to everything in existence when most of the times is ridiculously unnecessary ffs...
Like the rest said the guy is doing his job, the Automata needs calibrating and service often to keep it working properly.

It says, "EPSTEIN DIDN'T KILL HIMSELF"
Amazing.
And of course, GREAT JOB !!!! Quien lo haya creado, debió de costarle mucho hacerlo! es super fabuloso :P! Saludos desde Venezuela!
Are you serious? This was built in 1774! Do you think you, or anyone you know, could figure out how to make one these today in 2012? I'm sure it would be a struggle even with our vast internet resources.
Yea, it is super cool.
So we just gonna forget about the book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret. You know the book that the movie is actually inspired from. While the writer did influence Brian Selznick, his book existed many years before a movie version of his creation was even thought of.
Also, while the writer is an automata is was not even the biggest inspiration for the design from the book or the movie, the credit for that goes to Henri Maillardet who built a automation that could both draw and write and has a cage like body as seen in both the book and movie.
Please when researching amazing things from history spend a little more time.
Ayo thats my favourite movie
Amazing
Creepy but awesome!
IT WAS A BOOK FIRST, a beautiful one too
"WOW...."😱
Thats early robotics and programming
you can get a doll like this its called Suzy Scribbles from WOW worlds of wonder and she will draw pictures for you while sitting
Holy fucking shit
The first programers.
That robot/doll looks creepy...
some are 1 thousand years behind
They are the robots that in the year 3000 kill everybody :O
So what does the message say?
"Epstein didn't kill himself"
Dejen la cámara quieta
world first CNC...
The Terminator 1700s
Excellent! But HELP! I still fail to understand how BOY knows what to write.
See the big disk at his lower back? and the shaft where his spine should be? The disc shifts the shaft up and down, and depending on where the shaft is located, that shaft tells that arm what to do as it spins. The disc controls which letter the shaft should shift to based on those big teeth looking things
SCP-914?
"destruiré a la humanidad"
imagine he write nigga.
i can see its not only work by machine its also has a living spirit inside it
How come?
@@ayubestica1564 it has an authenctic expression
@@dollayx8 you were joking right?
@@ayubestica1564 no, i can see and feel it
@@dollayx8 so how's the spirit looked like?
Inspiration for the movie Hugo?
More like inspiration for the movie CHUCKY!
me da miedo esa cabeza, es un esperpentor
did africa ever produce such such a marvel even centuries thereafter?
Yes shut off the background noise
Go ahead and build a better one then.

A great lesson of respect for our predecessors. What wanna-be engineers can do now? use arduino for blinking LED?
We, engineers, work hard to make that LED blink.
The fact is that the very small mechanical engineering is almost useless now. There is no need of something ONLY mechanical, the last only mechanical small products ever made were mechanical calculators and typewriters.
If you're interested in this mechanics nowadays you can only make watches...
just stumble this and what you know that doll can write in French?
Someone needs to learn how to hold a camera.
He’s so nasty to the camera guy lol
Ami los autómatas me dan miedo
This vid must have the most annoying audio ever,
that in itself is worth mentioning.
The automaton itself is an amazing feat imho.
Did I say the audio makes me want to die? O.o
Amazing automaton, but absolutely terrible camerawork. You couldn't have shaken the camera more when showing the mechanism, also didn't film the mechanism enough.
A machine created in 1774 is still working, with little prodding, and you call it a failure? LOL! Let's see you create something like that today, much less two centuries ago. And it is not an android, C. Ronaldo, failed or otherwise. Androids are not robots, which is closer to what an automaton is. Your two cents are worthless.
An android is a robot in the shape of a human. So I guess it is an android.
Stop forcing the fucking mechanism!!!! It's 250 years old!!!!
amazing but rather annoying to see the man touching this and that. the little guy is from 1774. let him do his job & don't expect him to have COSC!
hate to say this,but this is hardly fascinating.the guy was pushing the base of the paper holder constantly and it seems to need to be constantly adjusted to write hardly a few alphabets.i dont know what the fuss is about put besides from the cool looking gears, this is just a FAILED android .just my 2 cents
dude...this was made hundreds of years ago, aren't you somewhat amazed that machinery like this existed hundreds of years ago that can compare itself to the modern world's technology?
Sorry for bad grammar. English isn't my first language
watch the BBC video made about this. A clockmaker made it in 1774. The letters are interchangeable so you can write anything. Yes it is fascinating.
The mechanical machine probably has not been used for a very long time, and it is still working. It may be not impressive to you, but for most of us, it is quite impressive.
