Titan has been on the show circuit for 10 years, performing at more than 3, events in locations from Dubai to London to Beijing. It is fascinating how the internet allows for certain ideas or products to spring from relatively obscurity to web sensation overnight, often with the story completely wrong.
For whatever reason, Titan is now having this moment. Some blogger or otherwise saw the videos and linked to them and thus was planted the seed that has caused tens of thousands across the net to gape in wonder at what they believe is a true, autonomous robot. For what its worth, the videos sure are entertaining, and although Titan may not be the real deal himself, certainly there is a growing legion of robots from ASIMO to the HRP-4C that truly are the real deal.
Sooner or later those movie scenes of robots wreaking havoc may not just be movie scenes after all. All Rights Reserved.

Archived from the original on Demand for his services is at an all-time high and he sparks a social media and YouTube frenzy wherever he goes. He loved the great science fiction films of the 70s and 80s such as Star Wars and Terminator. But, the film that really kick-started his love of robots was RoboCop. Anyone who has seen this film will remember the fearsome ED Fielding never fulfilled his dream to work for George Lucas.
Instead, he became an engineer and ran a successful classic car restoration business, until he started to suffer allergies to paint fumes. There were a couple of predecessors to Titan, the most successful of which was Cyberstein the robot.
When a national newspaper printed a story about Fielding and Cyberstein, he received a phone call from PR guru, PY Gerbeau , who asked him to come and work at the Millennium Dome in Titan the Robot eventually emerged onto the world stage in To the untrained eye, the Titan you see today may look very similar to the Titan from But, according to Fielding, they really are a world apart.
Cyberstein Robots has invested heavily in its future, ploughing a major share of the profits back into the company. We recently headhunted an electronic engineer who has helped re-engineer Titan from the ground up. I can only describe him as a genius. In the summer of , Cyberstein Robots moved into a brand new state-of-the-art business development with a new workshop and office facilities that will see the company well into the future.
He has given Titan a character and a wisecracking wit that has taken our show to a whole new level. The combination of the new electronics system and working closely with the voiceover artist has made it much easier to customise Titan for clients. He can give seminar speeches, product demonstrations or promotional videos etc. Bespoke dialogue for Titan and the use of branding panels on the robot has led to a large increase in events within the corporate sector, from company seminars to trade shows as far afield at Vietnam.
An eight foot tall robot is clearly a gift for social media.
