EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable creation by artist Meredith Thring, known as the "Table-clearing robot". Created in the 1970s at Queen Mary College in London under the guidance of Professor M. W. Thring, this innovative piece of machinery revolutionizes the concept of clearing up after a meal. In vivid color and intricate detail, we see the table-clearing robot with its robotic arm delicately picking up saucers and teacups from a cluttered table. The robot's precision and efficiency are evident as it effortlessly navigates through furniture to complete its task. This photograph not only captures an iconic moment in technological advancement but also represents the intersection between art, science, and education. Queen Mary College University served as an ideal breeding ground for such groundbreaking ideas during this era. The image transports us back to London in the 1970s when innovation was at its peak. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant pursuit of finding new ways to simplify everyday tasks. With no mention of commercial use intended for this artwork, we can appreciate it solely for its artistic value and historical significance. This print is undoubtedly a treasure that allows us to glimpse into an era where robots were still considered futuristic marvels rather than commonplace assistants.
