Robots, Robots everywhere!

Robots! Here they are as my new drawings for scrapbooking, party decors or jewelry. You can create your own decorations just printing these images out. Pretty cool for boys birthday party since they looove robots.

Robots topic is very interesting since the history of robots is very old and pretty new at once.
The term 'robot' was first used by the Czech writer Karel Čapek in 1921 and origins from slavatic word 'robota' and means 'hard work'.
But history of robots didn't start in the 20th century. The concept of robots occurs in the mythologies of many cultures around the world. Engineers and inventors from ancient civilizations, like Ancient China, Greece or Egypt kept trying to construct self-operating machines, quite often resembling animals and humans. The clay golems of Jewish legend or mythical statue of Pygmalion that came to life are one of the first creatures resembling robots.

In Renaissance Leonardo da Vinci was the author of sketched plans for a humanoid robot. Da Vinci's notebooks show detailed drawings of a mechanical knight now known as Leonardo's Robot, able to sit up, wave its arms and move its head and jaw.

In modern times this topic is very popular, well known S-f writer Isaak Asimov wrote many novels about robots and their interactions with human society, and he created Three Laws of Robotics:
Later Asimov added the Zeroth Law: "A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm"; the rest of the laws are modified sequentially to acknowledge this.


  1. I've heard things about the three laws of robotics from various films I think, but it's very interesting to read them in full. I love your illustrations, they're so cute and colourful!
