There is a nice cover feature article in the latest issue of Robot magazine, “Fred Barton: The Man Behind Hollywood’s Robotic Roots”, which shares Mr. Barton’s story of how he came to restore one of the original Robby the Robots from Forbidden Planet.
This issue is available at newsstands now as well as BotMag.com. Below are some thumbnails of the cover feature by Dean Berry:
