Creepy old Cleopatra robot will wriggle into your darkest dreams

Creepy old Cleopatra robot will wriggle into your darkest dreams I'm not sure who built this shudder-worthy automaton of Cleopatra getting nipped by asps, but according to House of Automata, this phantasmagoric clip is from a 1976 documentary on ye olde robots. It looks like a charming conversation piece, particularly if you wish to expedite boring dinner parties.
