It’s a busy robot summer at Chicago’s huge Museum of Science and Industry, with the return of Robot Revolution, an interactive exhibit that lets visitors work, play and connect with 40 robots from around the world.
The exhibit, which runs through mid-September, comes with support from Google and Boeing, both of which are deeply involved in robotics.
Among this year’s new robots are
- RoboThespian, a life-sized humanoid robot that greets guests at the entrance of the exhibit.
- The Cube Solver, dazzling guests with its lightning-fast ability to solve a Rubik’s cube.
- Daisy, a hexapod robot, with six spider-like legs that navigates rough terrain.
- Omron LD Mobile robot, a self-navigating industrial robot used in warehouses and factories.
