George the “robot,” ca. 1930. George was created by British Army Captain William Richards and Alan Reffell (and engineer). It was their second attempt, after Eric the robot, built in 1928. The robots were operated by people that manipulated their arms and faces, and their voices came through a radio receiver. Both robots were taken on tours around Europe and the United States.{WHF} {HTE} {Medium} -- source link
