Museum hope to rebuild UK's first robot
London's Science Museum has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the rebuilding of one of the first robots. Eric, as it was called, was originally built in 1928, and was the UK's first humanoid robot, impressing audiences with his movement and speech. He travelled the globe as a showcase for futuristic technology - but disappeared in the 1930s. Now, the museum is trying to raise 35,000 to rebuild him and has received more than 6,000 in four days. Eric was created by British duo Captain William H Richards and Alan Reffell.
