AROK is a 6-foot-8, 275-pound humanoid robot built by inventor Ben Skora. He can walk the dog, pour drinks, do the laundry, and even pick up the mail… sometimes.
I love the mask he used for the face. Very creepy. 
Did somebody say robot?
Lots of pictures and backstory you won’t find anywhere else.
It’s even creepier than the Uncanny Valley.
Maybe he was actively trying to prevent people from buying his robot, so he wouldn’t have to make so many of them.
I guess it’s appropriate that a website about retrofuturism has a UX design circa 1998 or so.
Very obviously, this is just a somewhat human-shaped teleoperated machine.
It has no autonomous capabilities: computers weren’t anywhere close to useful for that in the 70s.
Sort of reminds me of the curious Japanese fascination with humanoid-shaped ‘robots’ (Asimo etc). Completely missing the point that the interesting things about robots will be the brain, not the body…
Ernest Borgnine, thinking, “please put me out of my misery!”
Sure doesn’t look happy, anyway…
Hah. You would never say that if you saw the actual website I put up in 1997!
