Robots are coming to the Cité des Sciences on April 2, 2019. On 900 m², in the heart of the exhibitions on the second floor, this exhibition offers a focus on robots, to explain the difference between robots, androids, machines and automatons.
How do we really define a robot? How do they work? What are they used for? Theexhibition answers all the questions of children (and adults) and challenges the preconceived ideas, fears and worries that have been fed by literature and cinema for centuries.
As an introduction, the Cité des Sciences presents Unimate, the first recognized industrial robot, created by Georges Devol and Joe Engelberger in 1961. Many working robots are present to be used: by interacting with the robots, we understand the importance of their role in society. For example, we are greeted by NAO, the emblematic robot of the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie, Pyrène, a unique humanoid robot that can walk and carry objects, a robot used for research by the LAAS-CNRS in Toulouse, Curiosity on Mars, Ocean One.
