[Roof turning robot]

Roof turning robot, made in France in the 19th century, has a height of 91 cm, a base width of 54 cm and a thickness of 39 cm
The robot doll is dressed as a clown, standing on the platform, with both hands supported on a chair. The rectangular platform under the clown is equipped with mechanical devices for accompaniment of music and control of the clown’s performance. After the chord is strung, the music starts. In the music, the clown repeatedly raises his right hand several times, then holds the chair with both hands, and swings back with both legs together. The body gradually moves up and into the air until it is parallel to the ground, and the body stops moving. At this time, the clown repeated the action of spreading and holding his right hand. Finally, the clown held the chair with both hands, moved down and gradually returned to its original position, while the music stopped
The robot doll is a kind of toy imported from the West. It uses the same mechanical principles as clocks and watches to manipulate and control the activities of the doll so that it can imitate the actions of real people under the accompaniment of music. A certain number of robot dolls were collected in the Qing Palace, some of which were made by Western missionaries working in the palace for the emperor, some were purchased by Guangdong Customs through trade, and some were paid tribute by foreign countries. According to historical records, in the 29th year of Qianlong’s reign (1764), a western country paid tribute to 18 robot dolls, which could play the whole “The Story of the West Chamber”. Zhang Sheng, Yingying, Hongniang, Huiming and other dolls could “open the box and dress themselves, bow in and out, just like living”. After the performance, the character “comes from the undressing sleeping box”, and can also stand up automatically when coming out
