Peut-être pas un truc qui me touche particulièrement..... mais peut-être que l'un d'entre vous êtes des fans de ceci.

Les automata ou appeler en japonais, Karakuri ningyou (trick doll) sont les pionnier de l'amour des japonais pour les robot et l'une des multiple chose que le créateur Hisashige Tanaka a créé a travers ca vie.

Cette inventeur appeler le ''Thomas Eddison du japon'' a fais bien des choses dans ca vie, mais ses petite poupée articuler reste un truc exceptionnel et extraordinaire qu'il a concu.

(Dans les autres choses qu'il aurais fais dans sa vie serais comme avoir été le co-fondateur d'une petite compagnie la de rien qui s'appelle de nos jours Toshiba.... bah juste ca)

certain trouve ca merveilleux..... d'autre trouve ca totalement flippant et digne d'un film a suspense d'horreur??

A vous d'en juger dans cette article.

They're actually called "karakuri ningyou" (からくり人形) or, literally, "trick doll." And get ready to be amazed.
Throughout history, people all over the world have made robots. The 19th century, in particular, was a great period for automata. In Japan, one master karakuri ningyou craftsman was Hisashige Tanaka, who's also been called "The Thomas Edison of Japan." Here, you can see a writing doll he created.

If you've ever studied Japanese or Chinese calligraphy, you'll know that this type of brush work isn't easy for humans to do, let alone 200 year-old dolls.
His most famous karakuri creation, however, was the archer doll he made. You might have seen it before. Recently, karakuri ningyou, which are quite famous in Japan, popped up on 2ch, the country's largest bulletin board.

The doll moves thanks to a network of pullies, strings, and a turning cam. This doll is controlled by ten pieces of string—six of which control the head. The string gives the dolls smooth, almost elegant body movements.
Here's a closer look:

Japan's love of robots is said to have started with these mechanical dolls.
This isn't the most impressive thing Tanaka ever did. He also designed and built Japan's first steam locomotive. He helped design and produce modern weapons, ground-breaking chronometers, and a revolutionary clock. He also co-founded the company that's today known as Toshiba.
All that being said, these karakuri dolls are pretty effing incredible.
