Product Information

The Robots exhibition is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). The HLF's Collecting Cultures programme has enabled the Museum to acquire objects and create a new robotics collection of over 50 objects, many of which feature in the exhibition. The HLF also supported the creation of a new handling collection of robotic artefacts, and with the help of Robots exhibition volunteers, visitors will be able to see and touch these items. Recent developments from robotics research are also on show, with visitors able to explore how and, more importantly, why roboticists are building robots that resemble us and interact in human-like ways. The exhibition encourages you to imagine what a shared future with robots would be like, with visitors able to see the latest humanoid robots in action. Zeno R25 is one of the most expressive humanoid robots commercially available. Visitors can see what Zeno 'sees' on a screen and the robot will direct you to move if not standing in the correct place to interact with it. This robot replicates visitor's facial expressions. In late 2017 Robots will embark on a five-year UK and international tour, visiting the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester to open the 2017 Manchester Science Festival, the Life Science Centre in Newcastle (2018) and the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh (2019).

Robots is open daily until 3 September 2017, with late opening until 22.00 each Friday (last entry 21.00) and at Lates on the last Wednesday of each month. YuMi is a dual-arm collaborative robot. While on display it will move electrical components and also dance. The robot will also make and throw paper airplanes.The first robot visitors to the exhibition will encounter is an incredibly life-like mechanical human baby, recently acquired for the Museum's new robotics collection. Usually made for use on film sets, this baby has no intelligence, making only pre-programmed movements (sneezing, breathing and moving its arms and legs) yet many visitors will feel strong emotions towards it.

Visitors can watch as 16 mechanical forms spring to life and even interact with some of the robots on display. Inhka, once a receptionist at King's College London, will be answering questions and offering fashion advice, Zeno R25 replicates visitor's facial expressions and ROSA will move its camera 'eye' and head to watch visitors as they move. Every twenty minutes Kodomoroid, the most life-like android of its time, reads robot-related news bulletins; RoboThespian does vocal exercises and gives a theatrical performance; and Nao, the most widely used humanoid robot in the world, stands (or sits if tired) to tell a story exploring how robots make decisions. Bring the wonder of the Solar System into any room! This one’s great for kids interested in the stars, constellations and the Universe.Thanks to National Lottery players, the Heritage Lottery Fund invests money to help people across the UK explore, enjoy and protect the heritage they care about—from the archaeology under our feet to the historic parks and buildings we love, from precious memories and collections to rare wildlife. Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester (part of the Science Museum Group): 19 October 2017 to 15 April 2018

Robots, a major new exhibition at the Science Museum, explores humanity’s 500-year quest to reimagine ourselves as machines. RoboThespian was the first full-sized humanoid robot to be commercially produced. This robotic actor will move in the exhibition, looking around and doing voice exercises while waiting to give its main theatrical performance (every 20 minutes).Robina (Robot as Intelligent Assistant) is on display in the Museum's main entrance, where it will be seen by thousands of visitors to the Museum each day. Robina was developed to promote Toyota's vision of the personal robots we might one day own. From 2007 to 2009, this Robina model was used as a museum tour guide. It was then used for research before retiring in 2012.

For those that are still looking for some last-minute inspiration, we’ve got you covered with our Christmas Gift Guide. Whether at home or on the go, just ask the ball a question, shake it well, turn it over, and watch the answer reveal itself before your very eyes.In late 2017, Robots will embark on a five-year UK and international tour. The exhibition will visit the following venues, with further venues to be announced at a later date: This fascinating kit features five motorised dinosaur models for little ones to build: a tyrannosaurus, a brontosaurus, a stegosaurus, a triceratops and even a pterodactyl. Opening on 8 February, Robots, a major new exhibition at the Science Museum, explores humanity's 500-year quest to reimagine ourselves—not through paintings or sculpture, but as machines. Coming face to face with a mechanical human has always been a disconcerting experience. Over the centuries, each generation has experienced this afresh as new waves of technology heralded its own curiosity-inducing robots. That sense of unease, of something you cannot quite put your finger on, goes to the heart of our long relationship with robots."
