Meet Able Mabel the robot prototype designed in 1966 to demonstrate the feasibility of robots performing human-like tasks around the house.
It was imagined during a burgeoning period of technological exploration heavily influenced by the space age and while tech in 1966 wasn’t advanced enough, it was predicted that by the mid 70s household robots like this would be common.
Although intended as an entertaining demonstration of its potential applications, this short clip highlights the early ambitions to integrate machines and computers into various aspects of life.
