The "lost knowledge" in ancient Greek texts reintroducedby the Islamic Moorish invaders in Spain enabled the Europeans to build things that had not existed there since the fall of the Roman Empire. This ignited an interest in learning that had been largely extinguished under the Catholic church, bringing on the Renaissance and ending the Middle Ages. There were no actual "advances", only the reintroduction of previously existing knowledge either once lost or actively suppressed (e.g. the burning of the Library of Alexandria by the decree of the Coptic Christian Pope Theophilus of Alexandria in 391 AD).

Talos was a gigantic bronze creature, the guardian of the island Crete. He was claimed to have been created in Sardinia by Hephaestus and given the Cretan king Minos. This may have happened in about 400 BCE.Throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance craftsmen made automatons that could write, imitate birds or appear to walk. These were more toys than robots. The first industrial robot was created in 1954 by George Devol. He called it the Universal Automation.
How old is welding?
While welding as it is known today did not come about until the 19th century, primitive welding processes have been in existence for thousands of years. Metal tools and weapons have been discovered dating back to 1000 B.C.E. It was during the Bronze Age that humans first learned to fuse two metals together using heat. The Iron Age brought about increased use of fusing procedures. In the Middle Ages, blacksmithing was developed, which joined two metals through the use of fire and hammering.

What changes occurred in technology at the end of the Middle Ages?
There were several technological advances in the Early Middle Ages that paved the way for the High Middle Ages. One was the invention of the horse collar. Another was the heavy plow. Another was the three field system of crop rotation. Yet another was the horse shoe. Among them these increased agricultural production in Europe quite a lot, making it possible to support the towns and cities of the High Middle Ages. Another set of technologies were the invention of the stirrup and the arched saddle. These combined with the introduction of a new type of lance and the tactics to use it radically altered the technology of warfare and made the mounted knight paramount on battlefields of the High Middle Ages. There is an important point to be made here, however. The advances that caused Europe to pass from the Early Middle Ages to the High Middle Ages were more social and political than technological. The technological developments above were not things developed or invented immediately before the High Middle Ages, but introduced over a long period, and their effects accumulated slowly.

How the Middle Ages was a departure from the Renaissance?
Here is a quick answer. The middle ages was different from the renaissance because the renaissance was basicly a time when the arts music and science reawakened and had some advances to it. People were more interested about art, music, literature, and science in the renaissance. During the middle ages it was not as important to the people, so when the renaissance came the arts were kind of reintroduced to the people. The renaissance lasted from about 1300 to 1600.
