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.

Another appreciation post for all the kindness bestowed on my son #firebat. These are the amazing things he won, traded for or found. He is over the moon about all of it and I can't say thank you enough. @portlandartpicnic rocks. He was jazzed to come away with 3 buttons from @robots_can_dance @lucci.flyy & @robotoftheday . He scored a couple amazing magnets too. He also found a very special art drop by @ilu.crowbar as well as got a killer key chain. We also totally enjoyed the music by @curbsideserenade And @johnnythefranco . my kiddo even made a point to tell the gents from Johnny the Franco how much he enjoyed their music. I have to thank them for thier willingness to chat as they were packing out for the day. All things considered it was an amazing day and its all thanks to kindness, talent and friendship. Thank you everyone. As always please help me identify anyone I didn't tag. https://www.instagram.com/p/CM-QYVwMcJg/?igshid=1bx1nmixqlc39

could you reccomend any other robo-themed blogs as good as this one?
oh, sure thing! we know a few, but if there’s any active ones we’re missing please add on!
first of all, @roboticdreams is tremendous. i love finding all the robot content especially when people send in headcanons and the like, it’s such a joy! there’s also a rec page if you want to find robot media! i sent one in myself a while ago (read only memories). this is probably the first robot blog of its kind i saw that’s still going, and it’s a worthy one.
@robotoftheday is a character of the day-type blog for robots! if you have an underappreciated fave, you might like submitting them so they can get their own post for a day, or maybe just give a shout-out to a special robot that hasn’t been featured yet! if you want daily robot posts featuring robot characters people want to show off, this is the blog to follow!
and speaking of underappreciated robots, @lesserknownbots is great for sending in obscure bots. i really enjoy discovering new robots from other people that have submitted there! a wonderful collection of bots that may have been previously unknown to the public, or robots that don’t get as much attention as they deserve.
finally, we have to give a special shout-out for @ratethatrobot for rating robots. of course, the robots rated are always above 10, and the numbers are even done in binary! keep on keeping on, you funky little robot rater!

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!

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.
