Cute Robot Sculptures Are Both Scrappy And Made Of Scrap
After the apocalypse, we'll need to build our new robot helpers out of whatever we can find... and we'll need them to be as cute as possible, to cheer us up. So thank goodness for Mike "Slobot" Heisler's recycled robots. More » -

Children of the 1950s might have delighted in the battery-powered robots lining their toy shelves, but the real gems are the boxes they came in, depicting alien scenes of our multicolored, sparking, smoking, and missile-launching robot future. More » -

The Nightmares of Robots Grew Inside Us
He was just an ordinary housebot, designed to lift rocks and clean the laundry. But his creators repurposed him for war, never imagining that he might be afraid, and resist the urge to kill. More » -

The First Slaves Of The Robot Overlords Will Be Other Robots
Pity the poor robots of R. Nicholas Kuszyk's art. Immobilized by tons of wires coming out of their bodies, they struggle with huge, unidentifiable balls of jagged metal. Update: gallery now works! More » -

A Giant Robot Surveys Our Postapocalyptic World
I love the post-apocalyptic ruined look of this giant robot, made out of electronic junk parts. The WEEE-Man is made out of ten kinds of waste electrical and electronic components — the exact amount most of us throw out in our lifetimes — and he stands 7 meters tall, on a steel tripodic framework. But mostly, he looks like a giant robot conqueror, who came to our planet to conquer it and ended up ruling over a deserted junkheap which he uses for spare parts. Photo by Exfordy on Flickr.

Power-Hungry Robot Takes What It Craves
A robot that can plug itself in would be totally unstoppable — as long as the power was turned on. It's like a cat who knows how to work a can-opener. German artist Andre Kutscherauer's 3-D CGI images show manic bots that look like Pixar's mutant offspring. My favorite image is the one below, showing a lightbulb bot that's plugged itself in — and now faces some unfortunate moth trouble. More » -

The Bad Robot Overlord's Favorite Robot Art
J.J. Abrams loves Eric Joyner's robot art, and so do we. The Bad Robot maestro is a fan of Joyner's paintings of tin robots in outer space, which inexplicably feature giant donuts. And Joyner's art will be featured as a backdrop in a new romantic comedy flick starring Abrams pal Greg Grunberg (the cop from Heroes) and directed by Lawrence Trilling (many Alias eps.) Joyner also has a bit part in the movie. Click through for a gallery of space-robots and donuts. More »
