Robots aren't plotting an imminent human take-over; robots are our partners and friends. That's the broad theme of a Google.org-backed robotics exhibit coming soon to Chicago.*
Robot Revolution (http://www.msichicago.org/press/exhibits-and-events/robot-revolution/)features cutting-edge bots that can climb up and down ladders, solve a Rubik's cube at lightning speed, compete in a soccer match, mimic your facial expressions, make "eye" contact, and, in the case of the furry seal robot PARO, respond to human touch.*

The exhibit first premiered at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry in 2015, then traveled to Denver and Philadelphia. **w it's back with even more robots and support from Google's philanthropic arm and Boeing, the aircraft and rocket manufacturing giant.* Read more...
