With today's rapid technological advances in AI, virtual assistants and robotics, is there anything more fascinating than the increasingly-real world of Science Fiction? We don't think so.
Here at AREA, Sci-Fi characters like R2-D2, C-3PO, Optimus Prime and Bender have stolen our hearts and made us particularly fond of the genre. To celebrate this ever-lasting love, we decided to round up some of our favourite 3D robots created by our talented AREA artists. Check them out below!
