Last time in tech we watched a video that explained the history of automatons. A long time ago machines that moved like people was only a dream, it seemed unachievable. After the first successful automaton was built by Jacques de Vaucanson in 1737, lots of new and more interesting automatons were built. Some automatons could write, some could draw, some could play music, and some were even coated in real human skin. There were very interesting theories about the differences between man and machine. I thought it was amazing how we could construct something that worked so well, and I was curious about the science behind it and how the machines really work.
