This jaunty chap was spotted on Wade Place, Surry Hills.

He looks like some kind of top heavy, new breed of future robot. Harvesting energy from his gait, solar panel for a hat, he’s all head and arms. And he’s not alone.

Two red robots and a black one. Some kind of metaphor?

We noticed this lonely looking robot at the end of the right-angled cul-de-sac, Little Surrey Street, several days ago.

We snapped a photo, naturally, but didn’t quite get around to doing anything more. That is, until Kym Chapple tweeted another robot sighting in the neighbourhood.

He – has to be a he, right? – is on the corner of Craigend Street and Oswald Lane.

There’s something I like about robots in love. It’s part of the reason I love Mari Velonaki‘s beautiful robotic creations, could be the relic of a childhood reading Asimov novels. Whatever, I like it. More romantic robots.
