MYTH -  SYSTEMALAB
Systemalab link hard working God of Craft Hephaistos to ancient Greek science and to the first flying robot in history! This pigeon-shaped-device was invented by mathematician, philosopher, strategist and mechanical engineer Archytas in 4th century BC. Systemalab claims a robot, even in the form of a pigeon, would be much needed by Hephaistos and his assistents who were always too busy to take a rest! Archytas has given name to the mathematical and geometric construction of a curve derived from intersecting a torus and a cylinder of the same diameter. Systemalab think Archytas interest in complex geometry and curvature is excitingly contemporary. His invention that connects throughout time advancements in robotics is the construction of the first artificial self propelled flying device. His bird-shaped steam engined flying device is said to have flown a futuristic 200m and was named by its inventor: The Pigeon. Systemalab jewellery is also inspired by the traditional bird shelters of island of Sifnos.
