Product Information

Named after the part of the human brain which perceives motion, Area V5 is a wall of artificial skulls with robotic eyes which follow the motion of visitors as they walk towards the Robots exhibition entrance. This interactive artwork was designed and built by Louis-Philippe Demers (Nanyang Technical University, Singapore). 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:

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. Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester (part of the Science Museum Group): 19 October 2017 to 15 April 2018 Visitors to Robots will see the greatest collection of humanoids ever assembled. This stunning exhibition explores the fascinating question of why, rather than how, we build robots. To look through the eyes of those who built, commissioned or gazed upon these mesmerising mechanical creations over the past 500 years, reveals so much about humanity's hopes, fears, dreams and delusions." REEM Service Robot is designed to work in real human environments and interact freely with people. This robot greets visitors, who can interact with it via a touch screen.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. With over 130 components, the Science Museum Mechanics: Junior Moving Dinosaurs Kit guarantees a roar-some time! Animatronic baby: This mechanical human baby was commissioned for the exhibition and is now part of the Museum's new human robotics collection. It was made by a special effects company, which make animatronic machines for films. The baby makes only pre-programmed movements (sneezing, breathing and moving its arms and legs) yet we feel strong emotions towards it. 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.

The new mechanics laboratory for small children, with plenty of components that are easy to assemble, paves the way for the super-kit with robots that move and walk thanks to a motor-driven module.Robots have been at the heart of popular culture since the word 'robot' was first used in 1920. In the exhibition, visitors will come face-to-face with Eric, a modern recreation of the UK's first robot, as well as Cygan, a 1950s robot with a glamorous past, and a T800 Terminator used in the film Terminator Salvation. The challenges of recreating human abilities, such as walking, in mechanical form is also explored, with visitors able to study the intricate mechanisms of the Bipedal Walker—rescued by curator Ben Russell from a forgotten basement cupboard—and Honda's P2, two of the first robots in the world to walk like humans. There's the robot that skis, one that collects, another one that drags, the one that walks and one that is a completely crazy one. Each robot moves in an entirely unique way. A large construction laboratory for stimulating creativity and imagination. All the essentials for letting the child freely test his ideas and concretely verify the solutions.

A Science Museum exclusive, the Alien Kids Christmas Jumper is an out of this world, seasonal sensation! 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." Robots, a major new exhibition at the Science Museum, explores humanity’s 500-year quest to reimagine ourselves as machines. The Silver Swan is an amazing evocation of life. We are honoured that the Bowes Museum has loaned us this treasured object for Robots and delighted that visitors will see the Swan on display in all its glory."

Nao is the most widely used humanoid robot in the world. The robot will stand (or sit if 'tired') to deliver a story every 20 minutes, and will dance, blow kisses and exercise at other times. Now your little ones can feel extra-terrestrial when they’re enjoying the festivities this holiday season. Telenoid is a telecommunication avatar—a physical stand-in for the person on the other end of a telephone conversation—and will move in the exhibition. The Relativity Watch is the first watch where the numbers rotate around the face of the watch, proving unequivocally that time is relative! Robots is split into five sections, exploring how robots and society have been shaped by religious belief and our understanding of the universe (Marvel), the industrial revolution (Obey) and popular culture (Dream). Stories from those building robots today, including five filmed interviews with roboticists offering a glimpse inside their workplaces are on show (Build) alongside the latest humanoid robots (Imagine). More information about the exhibition layout can be found in the Robots booklet.

Simulate the movement of a human hand using this incredible Hydraulic Cyborg Hand Kit. Made from 203 easy-to-assemble pieces, this robotic hand comes in kit form – so there’s lots of fun to be had building it, and even more fun playing with it! 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. This intriguing exhibition features a unique collection of over 100 robots, from a 16th-century mechanical monk to robots from science fiction and modern-day research labs. Set in five different times, Robots explores how religious belief, the industrial revolution, popular culture and dreams about the future have all shaped society through the incredible robots on display. Baxter was the first dual-arm robot designed to work with people. When used in manufacturing, Baxter directs its gaze to indicate what it is about to do, using facial expressions to show its state of operation. This robot will move while on display, learning how to handle unknown objects. 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.

…Bonus gift!

Pepper is a humanoid companion created to communicate with humans through voice and touch and movement. This robot will invite visitors to touch its hands and fist bump while sharing a story using the screen on its chest. 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. Kodomoroid was one of the most realistic androids in the world when it was first made in 2014. This robot will move in the exhibition, sharing news stories about robots every 20 minutes. This particular cyborg hand is powered by hydraulics alone, allowing children to learn all about mechanics and engineering from a young age. A handy gift indeed! Bring the wonder of the Solar System into any room! This one’s great for kids interested in the stars, constellations and the Universe.
