Friend of the Range Timothy Archibald photographs robots being built by David Hanson for this month’s Discover magazine. Discover photo director Rebecca Horne notes on her blog:
David Hanson’s robots are by now somewhat familiar faces, including his Einstein robot currently being used as a research tool at Javier Movellan’s Machine Perception Lab at UCSD, and the punk rock conversationalist Joey Chaos. A less familiar face is that of Bina Rothblatt, the blonde at the end of the table in the above photograph. Bina is a robot commissioned by Sirius Satellite Radio inventor Martine Rothblatt to look like her beloved wife. Take that, uncanny valley!

That’s pretty fucking neat and I didn’t know that about the Sirius creator…
