I was exploring the city outskirts by bike one afternoon when these two passed me going the other way, the plant’s leaves making quite a racket in the breeze. A while later I passed the plant nursery they must have been shopping at; the place was a hive of activity with robots moving between the rows of plants, stooping to inspect this one or that and others pushing carts laden with plants of various sizes.

Field notes entry—It was a dumb question: “Why not just run a heating element to keep internal components warm?” Insulating garments are a much more practical solution. Why waste additional energy when one can just wear a coat and preserve what waste heat is generated? Indeed!

“Check your seals!” Beyond its use in the obvious context, I’ve heard this phrase used in a more general sense of “take care” or as a reminder to be sure of oneself; which can have other meanings depending on the personal relationship and setting.

Under the stars. I discovered that the robots perceive the stars in a rather interesting way. Rather than organize them into arbitrary patterns with spatial relationships, they assign a numerical value to each one based on its relative brightness and color temperature. Then they map these to a variety of output configurations: sound scapes, topographic maps, and even haptic maps.

This robot’s favorite space was their greenhouse. I long ago learned to stop thinking of robot society (and its citizens) as monolithic. I’m wrong to make assumptions about their likes and dislikes. For a robot to enjoy the company of plants and cats is equally as valid as anything else in this universe! This robot’s preference for the slow practice of observation seems to be well suited to tending plants.

After the first ink mess captured the attention of a couple near me I quickly had the rest of the réchargé crowd around me. Despite drawing in public for years, I’ve never drawn this level of attention. I suppose it’s the somewhat unconventional methods of smearing the ink around? After I removed the first drawing from my board a robot stepped back and struck a pose. “May I ask you to draw me in that same style?” How could I say no? This whole experience was unprecedented!

Resonating frequencies. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 60Hz. .

Sitting at a spindly table outside the réchargé was courting disaster; indeed I had no sooner finished a quick pencil sketch when I bumped the table and splashed a few drops of orange ink onto my drawing. After freezing in horror for a moment I moved quickly and dropped more ink onto the paper and began smearing it with my fingers. Robots nearby were fascinated with the utter lack of precision and watched as I worked with the rapidly drying inks; first orange stained fingers and then a brush loaded with blue.

Just the thing when one is out and about, inconveniently far away from neighborhood réchargés: a “ready van.” I see these little vans (sometimes bicycles and trailers) stationed at the periphery of large common spaces or in the midst of large event gatherings, rooftop photovoltaics deployed and providing a convenient boost to any they might need one. . #robotoftheday #mylifewithrobots #robot #robotart #robotartist #robotics #robotlife #recharge #battery #power #electricity #urban #foodcart #cafe #tinyvan #foodcart #foodtruck #solarpower #photovoltaic #chargingstation #sketch #art #illustration #sketchbook #alcoholmarkers #copicwithus #copicmarkers #copicmarker https://www.instagram.com/p/Co9HpkcLuuT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In the robots’ society, cats seems to possess a great deal of autonomy. At least no robot I’ve ever spoken with on the subject has ever made the claim to “own” a cat. Typically the relationship is described as “the cat lives with me…” or “the cat also lives here…” I suppose the cats adopt robots rather than the other way around.

Memory of trees. The robots have compared trees to a network and they’re not wrong. What must it be like to attempt to address a node only to find it missing?

Bad sector. My interpretation of a story a robot once shared with me about experiencing data corruption. I imagined them transiting a landscape of data and then feeling like parts of themself were disappearing as they lost resolution. It sounds unsettling.

I didn’t have a crowd watching me this time. This drawing was inspired by a robot I talked with a few days ago. They sat on the floor of their store, leaning up against the checkout counter. “I’ll be with you at some indeterminate point in the near future. I have a cat with me.” Indeed, the robot cradled in their lap a cat on a pillow. I could hear the cat purring from across the room. Robots are cat people, too.

Spent a dreary, rainy afternoon in a réchargé. I turned to my tablemate and raised my drinking vessel, “cheers.” I had to explain that it was a general expression of good will, uninterrupted uptime, full batteries, and the like. A liberal splash of “water displacer” is just the thing on a day like this. . #robotoftheday #mylifewithrobots #robot #robots #robotart #robotartist #art #illustration #sketch #drawing #sketchbook #copicmarkers #penandink #pdxartist #copicolors #copicwithus #portrait #markerart #markerdrawing #markerartist #drinkanddraw #originalcharacter #cheers #rainyday #pub #recharge https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnd15z6Laag/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
