Description
More about this artwork and all my other stuff on SpaceLolliPopArts.com !3D (Anaglyph) VERSION:
UPDATED VERSION:
INTERACTIVE FLASH of this robot:
This is a digital interpretation of my diploma thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin.
Here I developed a fluorescence detector to read out special chips with thousands of tiny reaction vessels.
Well, the real ChipReader looks a little bit different than the one above but it works in the same way.
Hope you like it!
There is also an overview of the workflow:
A video of this robot you can find here: www.vimeo.com/8901082

This is so cool!
Definately one of the more unique robotic pieces I've seen.
Great work, congrats on the DD!

Wait..
Is this some sort of crazy ass manipulation?
Cause that's amazing!

no crazy ass manipulation,
its a crazy ass render!

Kickass! I want a robot FRIEND. Can you make that?
π: 0 β©: 1
Of course!
send me 500.000β¬ and you get this one from your institute.
I can use this money for the female version i am working on...

Firstly, I don't know exactly what a β¬ is currency-wise. (Sorry, I'm poorly-travelled)
Secondly, I got 40 bucks to my name, going towards other things, sorry.

β¬ = Euro the new world-currency!

New world? I thought North America was the new world...

Great job! Though the hand is rather small...

Beautiful work! There is just one thing that bothers me. The person looks like a complete android, but then there are the dreads coming from underneath the plastic...
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, on the back of the head... The brown stuff? looks like dreads or braids. Maybe it's something else?

No
he neither listens to reggae music nor smokes any dope.
These "dreads" are only data links...
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, you never know what he sends through them ; )
The color on the links is different from anything else in the picture, so I kept wondering what's so special about them. If you say they are just links, that's cool.
Awesome render (^^)

Jeze, I am the general teckie of my group for the most part, and I can hardly understand what you are saying! XD
From what I read simplified, florecent lights trigger soemthing inside your brain. XD

hahaha
I didnt want to bore you with uninteresting details.... thats why i have written this very short summary of the technical background.
I think this site is more about art than discussing technical concepts.
but when you are interested, i would give you a more detailed introduction of this robot.
You dont really think that i have put any brain in a robot to fire off some laser light, do you??
π: 0 β©: 1
Not really. XD
Anyhow, this artwork realy is amazing. Sorry I did not includ that in my last post.
Everthing about it is realy well done! I don't know how to cretique it!

wurde das bild unter anderem auch vom video von bjΓΆrk - all is full of love inspiriert? die figur sieht quasi genau so aus
aber sehr sehr gut das bild!

natΓΌrlich war dieses geniale video ne inspiration. aber wenn man mal nach bildern googlet sieht man da schon einige unterschiede.
darauf bestehe ich....
π: 0 β©: 1
die frage war ja auch auf inspiration gerichtet ... was man letzenendes macht, kann natΓΌrlich wieder ganz anders sein
π: 0 β©: 0
This is just the inspiration I needed!
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I am really into robotic and machinery but I haven't been able to draw what I loved in such a very long time, x~x...

Ok, when my robot is the needed inspiration, good luck for your next robot-android project.
send me a note, when its done!

He's wonderful! He reminds me of the movie iRobot.

Reading your comments made my head hurt, but your pic interesting... 
π: 0 β©: 1
no, it's not that! lol i just tried to read it and i didn't know what the hell you were talking about... cuz i'm slow.
π: 0 β©: 1
I've already told the dude a few comments below this, that i didnt want to bore the visitors with details. you think there should be more information?
π: 0 β©: 1
ah, no, it's just that some of your visitors, (like me), have a hard time understanding some of the things you said. i don't know how to say this, but maybe if you said it to where a child can understand it, it'll be like, "oohhh, okay, i get it now."
i'm sorry if you are mad at me for saying that i didn't understand your comments on it, but i really didn't... i got some of it, and then i just went blank.
i really do like the picture though.

Very nice! I don't know how you have time for this kind of stuff while working in the sciences. I'm just an undergrad in biochemistry and I never have time to work on these things anymore. Frankly, I'm impressed.
π: 0 β©: 1
indeed,
this art was created in a period of pipetting one assay after the other. Very monotonous. building this baby was the only chance to be creative...
and by the way at the end of the academic studies you have more freetime than in the first semesters!

From the thumb, I thought the laser was going into it's eyes and blasting out the back. D:

Then it wouldnt smile, i think....

But it's a robot. It can't feel pain.
π: 0 β©: 1
you can program pain.
your brain works in the same way....

Maybe it's programmed to be a masochist?
