Enter into the Robots exhibition at London’s Science Museum and you are immediately welcomed by an ultra realistic robo-baby. A display that shows just how far we have come in robotic engineering and what we have accomplished in the dream to accurately re-create ourselves.
The haunting baby is the only sophisticated model present in the first room and is displayed as an example of how far we have come. The exhibition space is separated into five different sections that represent key time periods in the evolution of automation and robots throughout history.
The first room shows the earliest forms of automation from the 16th century up until the end of the 18th. Influenced by the power of religious faith at the time, it was churches and monasteries that commissioned many of the early automated clocks. The clocks were used to calculate dates for festivals, feasts as well the moons phases.
