What defines a robot in a world where machines move, sense, and decide? What happens when mechanical bodies carry out tasks, express emotion, or navigate human environments?

URCA documents the evolving presence of robots—from industrial arms and autonomous vehicles to humanoid companions and therapeutic machines. This archive explores how robots are built, deployed, and symbolically received across sectors and cultures.

Entries may include physical robots used in manufacturing, healthcare, education, entertainment, and domestic life. From quadrupeds to androids, we trace how robotic form and function reflect deeper questions of labor, empathy, and embodiment.

A robot is never just a machine—it’s a gesture, a proxy, a story in motion.
