George (robot)
George is a British humanoid robot created by Tony Sale in 1949. The robot was built using scrap metals from a crashed RAF Wellington bomber. George was reactivated in 2010 by Sale and is on display at The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park.〔("Bletchley Park computer museum homes veteran robot George", ) ''BBC News'', 17 November 2010〕
==History==
In 1949 Tony Sale used the scrap metal from a grounded Wellington bomber to build a simple 6-feet humanoid robot he named George. The construction cost for the robot was about £15.〔("Robot George: early humanoid revived after 45 years", ) ''Daily Telegraph'', 22 November 2010〕 Actually, this robot could be considered George Mark IV, as Sale already built a very basic robot in his parent's garage when he was 12 and named it George,〔http://www.geek.com/articles/geek-cetera/meet-george-a-working-world-war-ii-era-british-robot-20101123/〕 plus two later versions.〔
The last George robot, the only one extant, was built when Sale joined the Royal Air Force in 1949 as a radar instructor at the RAF Debden base in Essex. It could walk, turn the head, move its arms and sit down. It was powered by a pair of motorcycle batteries put inside his chest. The robot can also move his jaw to speak and be controlled by radio remote. The external cover of the body was made in aluminium and duralumin. George was put on display at the open days at the RAF Debden base and also appeared on television.〔
