Hubot robot
Hubot robot, being held from behind. Released in 1981 by the Hubotics Corporation, it was sold as a home servant. Hubot included a monitor that would display messages as well as television signals. A radio (centre) and video game connectors (lower centre) allowed it to provide home entertainment. Hubot is on display at the Computer History Museum, USA. The museums collection includes over 3000 artefacts from 1945 to 1990. Established in 1996, the museum preserves and returns to working order, computers that have had a significant historical impact. The museum is due to be relocated, becoming part of the NASA Research Park, California, USA, in 2005

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Hubot robot, a groundbreaking invention released in 1981 by the Hubotics Corporation. Designed to serve as a home servant, this innovative creation revolutionized household chores and entertainment. The Hubot featured an integrated monitor that displayed messages and television signals, providing both practicality and amusement for its users. In this image, we see the Hubot being held from behind, highlighting its sleek design and advanced technology. Its central radio component is clearly visible, along with video game connectors located at the lower center of the robot. These features allowed the Hubot to not only assist with daily tasks but also provide home entertainment. Currently on display at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, USA; this remarkable artifact represents one of over 3,000 items within their extensive collection spanning from 1945 to 1990. Established in 1996 with a mission to preserve significant historical computers and restore them to working order when possible; this museum plays a vital role in educating visitors about computing history. Excitingly enough, plans are underway for relocating the museum as part of NASA Research Park in California's Silicon Valley region by 2005. This move will further enhance accessibility and ensure continued preservation of these invaluable technological artifacts for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
