+**Jacques de Vaucanson** (1709) Built robots to serve dinner to politicians. His most famous work is the [[wp>Digesting Duck]]:

+<blockquote>Voltaire wrote that “without [...] the duck of Vaucanson, you have nothing to remind you of the glory of France.” (”Sans…le canard de Vaucanson vous n’auriez rien qui fit ressouvenir de la gloire de la France.”) This is often misquoted as “Without the shitting duck, we would have nothing to remind us of the glory of France.”</blockquote>
