Robots at the Science Museum. This exhibition documented the history of robotics from the clockwork automatons to the modern inventions containing super advanced AI.
What were the most interesting robots?
The Milo robot by RoboKind was designed to help autistic children recognise different emotions. It could accurately read, mimic and respond to your facial expressions. Also impressive was the iit robot designed by iCub. This robot that could learn manual movements by watching a demonstration then repeating the action afterwards.
What were Nino's favourite robots?
The famous movie robots were the most intriguing for us. This included the T800 endoskeleton and the Maschinenmensch from Fritz Lang's Metropolis. These are the archetype robots of our childhood. Seeing them live produced some confusingly profound emotions.
Should we be concerned about super advanced AI taking over?
We put this question to a robot at the exhibition and it assured us that there is nothing to worry about now. Thinking again, it did say so with an antagonistic and condescending tone. Those vacant eyes didn't fill us with much confidence either...
Great. Thanks. Bye.
