A robot stands 6ft tall with the number 19 displayed on its chest. There is rust coming from the edges of the plating. There are dents and scratches covering the robot’s head, arms, and chest. It seems to be looking at something in the distance with dark, black lenses–one of them larger than the other. The background is white, bringing a dynamic contrast to the dark bronze metallic glow of the robot’s plating.

Psyche Bot Model-19

November 25, 2019

Major: Civil Engineering

Genre/Medium: Steampunk, Robot Statue, 3/4″ PVC pipe, EVA foam, & cardboard

About the work: An asteroid comes in many shapes, forms, and sizes. What would the personification of one look like? This project was my vision for a robotic form of the asteroid Psyche. The robot’s plating is designed to resemble the surface of an asteroid, which shows damage and erosion from time and collisions with other objects. Each indent or scratch has its own history. Even though the robot is damaged and rusting, it still stands strong at 6 feet tall. It is made from EVA foam and cardboard, and it is supported by PVC pipes.
