Robot Revolution

O

n 21 May 2015, the Museum
of Science and Industry
(MSI) in Chicago launched
Robot Revolution (Figure 1),
a groundbreaking exhibition that introduces the public to a world where
robots will be our companions and
colleagues, fundamentally changing
how we live, work, and play. The exhibition shows a future where robots are
not a curiosity, but a vital and visible
part of our daily lives.
This exhibition, developed and produced by MSI, is not the first museum
exhibit on robots but it is unprecedented in its scope. The exhibit contains
more than 40 robots, most of which are
operational and interactive for guests
(Figure 2).
Robot Revolution provides a broad
look at the field of robotics. It features
industrial and research robots as well
as a handful of commercially available
robots, telling the story of robotics in a
way that both educates and entertains
guests (Figure 3). Through hands-on
activities, Robot Revolution helps to
answer questions such as: How do
robots work? How will they change
our lives? How can I get involved in
the field of robotics?
Given the increasing relevance of
robotics to our daily lives, the MSI
took on the challenge of creating Robot Revolution over a five-year period.
The exhibit will expand the public's
understanding of robotics and inspire
the next generation of high-tech workers and innovators. A robotics-savvy
