Robots – The Interactive Exhibition

The wit, excitement and imagination of 20th Century Fox’s animated film Robots combine for a fun, educational experience that the whole family will enjoy.

The Exhibition features more than 15 interactive areas offering scientific adventures that allow visitors to enter the world of robotics and explore the “reel and real” science of robotics.

Robot Explorers, visitors can use a robotic probe to explore underwater, deep space or the surface of mars.

Crosstown Express, families can climb aboard and take a spin inside a metal ball transporter around the wonders of Robot City. As they watch the three-dimensional screen ahead of them, their seats rattle, the wind blows and the sensation of twisting and turning around the wild track takes them into the world of reel and real robotic vehicles.

Industrial Robots allows visitors to program an actual Ford robotic arm, and Robot Round Up explores robots in daily life, allowing visitors to use remotes to control various types of robots.

Build-a-Wonder-Bot that performs useful functions, such as helping with daily chores, and learn about the future of robotics and how they will reshape our world.

Hollywood Robots Hall of Fame: visitors will view various images in a montage of robots from movies and television through the ages. C-3PO (Star Wars™), Robby the Robot (Forbidden Planet), and Gort (The Day the Earth Stood Still).

Robot round Up – from toys to machines that clean our homes, robots are making a difference in our daily lives. In this fun-filled area, visitors will be able to control and handle many types of robots, some of which are currently available including the Roomba and the robosapien. Using remotes, guests can put each of these products through their paces.

Future of robots, families can view companies and robotic machines that are shaping the future, including Leondardo from MIT and Stan Winston from ASIMO, along with the next generation of robots that will help to change our world.
