Cyclops is a quiet humanoid machine which simply gives a staring glance at passers-by.It owes its name to Cyclops, the single-eyed giant in Greek mythology.
Its backbone is similar in structure to that of humans, and some 30 pneumatically controlled muscles enable it to actualize <<elegant and smooth movements.>>
Cyclops is designed to react to moving objects. When Cyclops has spotted you,make a conspicuous move and see how it reacts.

The interior of the Battlestar Galactica is a warren of shadowy, angular hallways and spare functional chambers split over two sound stages situated on the semi-industrial fringe of Vancouver, British Columbia. The Galactica is a spaceship, but it does not feel particularly space-age. The communication panels on the walls were scavenged from a Canadian destroyer; the desk lamps are from Ikea.
