Adelbrecht first version
Adelbrecht was a speaking, interactive robot in the form of a ball, designed by Martin Spanjaard (born 1952 in Haarlem, Netherlands).
A first, simple version of Adelbrecht was presented in 1985.
Starting 1988 a second, more powerful version was developed. In 1992 it got an honourable mentioning at the Prix Ars Electronica. Its last performance, during newyears eve of 2000, never happened because of a serious hardware failure. Since then Martin Spanjaard proclaimed Adelbrecht a 'dead robot'.
