The Horniman Museum in London is hosting an exhibition that allows children to understand how the natural world works through robotic models of animals.
The robotic platypus, for example, has large flashing red lights on its bill which represent the animal’s electroreceptors, which pick up electrical pulses given off by anything alive. Visitors can also catch bugs, use bat sonar and interact with creatures normally only seen in textbooks. Velcro is used to demonstrate how a housefly can stay on the wall, and it sucks up its food like a vacuum cleaner.
Summary:
A museum in London has hosted an exhibition to show the visitors how works the nature and how animals do some things, and they've used robotic animals to give examples. There were demostrations of how houseflyes can stand on walls, of how platypuses notice of other living beigns...
I think they are using a good tool to show the kids how animals do the things they do. I'm sure that a kid will pay all his attention to a robot like this, and he won't forget it. This is a good experience to the people who ccreate those robots too, they see that they are doing something useful in the present, not just for the future.
