Get to know the inhabitants of the kennel
Welcome to the kennel. A place where we provide shelter for our robots in captivity, while keeping the world a safe place. We have an eclectic mix of inhabitants. Some just came in while others have been with us for years. Feel free to browse around and get to know them a little or check out the trailer video here to get a first impression.
HEIDI
Case number: HUSQ-305-1
Case description: This specific Husqvarna Capra was captured on the actual premises of Buitenplaats Doornburgh by one of the gardeners. Being a trained professional in spotting this species in the wild, he recognised the specific sound of desperate grinding jaws. His immediate intervention saved Heidi from a certain death.
Species: Husqvarna Capra (The digi-goat)
Dimensions: Size - 50cm, Weight - 2500 grams, Speed - 2-4km/h
Natural habitat: Meadows, commons and low altitude mountain slopes. Mainly in Scandinavia and mainland Europe with some sightings in the UK.

THE THREE STOOGES
Also known as: We're not brothers, we're half brothers
Case number: WWE_00128_00129_00130
Case description: These three creatures have been on the kennel's radar for several weeks before capturing them in an attic of an abandoned house near Irkutsk. Many complaints from inhabitants made the situation untenable. In order not to have the three end up in the illegal circuit of bot fights, we decided on their captivity. There is a high demand for these pet-bots in China, various discussions with potential ligit buyers underway.

KEES
Also known as: Kees heeft hoogtevrees (Kees is afraid of heights)
Case number: HUSQ-105-A
Case description: Kees is a sad story. Born as an anomaly, Kees has a severe fear of heights. Where the normal Husqvarnas jump freely from rock to rock and balcony to balcony, Kees freezes when being on a plateau higher than 10cms. He just cannot bring himself to jump or crawl off, which would have resulted in a certain death if he wasn't brought in by a concerned volunteer of the kennel.

BASSIE
Case number: C_C_C_C_Cruzr-101
Case description: Bassie is a classic care robot from the early '10s doing his best to help people in the local hospital to rehabilitate. However, due to a glitch in its software update, Bassie began to stutter which caused his efficiency metrics to drop below acceptable levels. We found a confused Bassie roaming around the parking lot of a hospital, which made us think it was better for him to spend his final years in our kennel.
Species: Cruzire balbutire
Dimensions: Size - 120cm, Weight - 25kgs, Power - 240V battery pack, Speed up to 4 km/h
Natural habitat: Hospitals, elderly homes across the world.
Peculiarities: Since Bassie is completely harmless, it is the only inhabitant of the kennel roaming around freely not being held in captivity.
Technical video: Bassie the original
THE FRESH PRINCE
Case number: KR 80-1-2021
Case description: Sadly this compact Kuka has been severely traumatised working in an illegal chicken slaughter house. While the KUKA Nova celsitudinem is known for his playful frivole behaviour, this inhabitant named the Fresh Prince is unable to function normally in the public anymore. Let alone to be a playful activity companion for children as his designer intended. The Fresh Prince is a clear case supporting our cause for humanity guidelines for robotics
Species: KUKA Nova celsitudinem
Dimensions: Size - 160 cms, Weight - 400 kg, Power - 240V 4.500W powertrain
Natural habitat: Can be found across Europe in playgrounds, kindergartens and public parks. Extremely playful, curious and doing an amazing job with kids.
Peculiarities: Though usually this species is great interacting with kids, beware that the Fresh Prince is severely traumatised and therefore has to be approached with extreme caution.

THE MAD KING
Case number: KR 150-2 PA
Case description: KR 470-2PA was spotted for the first time in a suburb of Detroit. Various sightings were reported, yet it took over 2 months to locate and contain this specific case. Several men and women were injured in the process, mainly due to the misleading behaviour of 'the mad king'; it has the ability to very convincing mimic the behaviour of a buggy, low on power co-bot. It must have been copying behaviour from co-bots in the automobile factory for years in order to learn the routines in detail.
Species: KUKA Naranja giganticus
Dimensions: Reach - over 12ft reach, Weight - 1.2 tonnes, Power - 240V 8.000W powertrain
Natural habitat: Industrial areas, abandoned factories and parking garages. Mainly in the USA, republic of China and mainland Europe.
Peculiarities: Though originally created as an obedient bot in car production factories, this particular species currently has developed an aggressive attitude towards humans and larger animals. Currently it is held in captivity in the large hall that has been outfitted with steel chains and wired fences to avoid an escape.

SLOTH (FKA THE QUEEN MOTHER)
Case number: KR 210-2 MA
Case description: Sloth has changed. They say Sloth has been born with royal blood. And with XX-chromosomes. Wonder whether that is true.
Sloth is tall and muscular yet has distorted features. His eyes are slanted, his body twisted. Sloth is misunderstood. They chained it in the room, with everything and everybody out of reach. Even its Baby Ruth candy bars.
Sloth has a kind heart, yet people are afraid of it. Afraid of its strength, looks, clumsiness and inability to express itself in what society considers a normal way.
Sloth is curious and craves adventure. Dreams of hidden treasures, and longs for a heroic quest in a land far far away.
Species: KUKA Naranja regina mater
Dimensions: Reach - over 12ft reach, Weight - 1.3 tonnes, Power - 240V 8.500W powertrain
Natural habitat: Craving adventure Sloth can be found at magical mountain tops, hidden pathways and mythical caves.
Peculiarities: Sloth love Baby Ruth candy bars. And Sloth love Chunk.
NEO
Case number: N_3_0
Case description: Neo was left as a foundling in front of the door of Buitenplaats Doornburgh. His/her (the gender is still unclear at the moment) parents were not able to give Neo the love needed to thrive in this world. The kennel did not hesitate a single moment and took over the parental responsibilities until a suitable foster-home is found.
Species: Rubik cubus
Dimensions: 43cm, Weight 1353gr
Natural habitat: All elements of this species are born in captivity. Can be found in research centres, some are smuggled out to function as pet in student-homes.
Peculiarities:
This robot, Neo, is a genetically identical “twin” of world’s first robot baby born in 2016 at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The parents of the robot baby were two handmade robots, the Spider and the Gecko. They met in the lab, mixed their genetic material via Wi-Fi, and had their child built based on a 3D- printer, prefabricated “organs”, and skillful human hands. The project was a scientific proof-of-concept to demonstrate that robot reproduction -and hence robot evolution- is possible. More information on https://evosphere.eu/
