  • A pioneer in aviation, Paul MacCready designed the first human-powered airplane, the first piloted, solar-powered airplane, the first life-size flying replica of a giant pterodactyl, and a pioneering solar-electric car. MacCready's firm, AeroVironment, is at work on the Black Widow (transparent model prototype in MacCready's hand), a remotely controlled plane capable of flying 40 mph for up to 20 minutes. Zipping along at treetop level, the 15-cm-long, 58-gram Black Widow could spot details missed by even the sharpest satellite cameras. AeroVironment  , Simi Valley, California. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 158 top.

  • By flexing his data-gloved hand, robotics specialist Fredrik L. Rehnmark controls the NASA robonaut as it reaches for a battery-operated power drill on a test platform. Black goggles on Rehnmark's head give him the view from the twin digital cameras mounted in the robot's shiny carapace. Next to Rehnmark, engineer Hal A. Aldridge tracks the robot's test results. In a cavernous adjacent room in the Johnson Space Center  in Texas is a life-sized mock-up of the robonaut's future home: the NASA space shuttle. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 132-133.

  • View of an animated model of a bipedal carnivorous dinosaur Allosaurus sp. This life-sized model was based on fossil remains and comparative anatomy - enabling the stance and overall shape of the dinosaur to be inferred. The model is jointed to allow some degree of movement. Photographed at the Canberra Science Museum, Australia.  [1989].

  • In Tokyo, Japan, REONA, a life-sized silicon sex doll sells for $7,500 (U.S.). The doll was shown at the apartment of the creator, a designer of artificial prosthetics, in a small room that served as his office. It was slouched in a leather chair dressed in a silk pajama and pantyhose. He changed the clothes to show the full figure, including private parts, which are removable and washable (not inserted for the photo). The doll is moved around by wheelchair. Its cold clammy skin was not a problem, assured the designer. "The doll has great thermoconductive properties. You can put an electric blanket on it for a while and it will retain body heat for a long time."
