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. 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. 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. Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester (part of the Science Museum Group): 19 October 2017 to 15 April 2018

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.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. With over 130 components, the Science Museum Mechanics: Junior Moving Dinosaurs Kit guarantees a roar-some time! 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. 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. 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.

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.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.

The Relativity Watch is the first watch where the numbers rotate around the face of the watch, proving unequivocally that time is relative! 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. 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." 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. 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."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). 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. As the home of human ingenuity, the Science Museum's world-class collection forms an enduring record of scientific, technological and medical achievements from across the globe. Welcoming over three million visitors a year, the Museum aims to make sense of the science that shapes our lives, inspiring visitors with iconic objects, award-winning exhibitions and incredible stories of scientific achievement. Inhka is a reactive robot answers visitor's questions, offers advice on other robots to look at in the exhibition and also delivers fashion advice (with attitude). 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.
