Companion Robots A collection of over 90 automata to tell the story and evolution of entertainment robots. With a collection of more than 90 robots, “I Robot – Companion Robots” offers new insights into the story, intentions, characters and curiosities of entertainment robotics. Before robots became a tool, they were born to entertain humans. Robots on show at Palazzo Alberti Poja Some examples of the most curious robots you will find exposed: Karakuri Tea Serving Robot. An emblem of the Japanese Edo period with a silk kimono; it was created to carry a cup of tea to the chosen person and then return to the kitchen Aibo ERS 111.

This project by Massimo Triulzi was born from the collaboration between the journalist, technology expert and robotic enthusiast, and Franco Finotti, Director of the Fondazione Museo Civico di Rovereto. Not only an exhibition, but also a schedule full of events: from educational workshops for schools to robotics demos for the public, from books showing to thematic meetings. Interactive guided tours Every second and fourth Sunday of the month at 4pm there will be the possibility to take part in a guided tour of the exhibition, followed by a robotic workshop or demo which will allow you to see the exhibition robots on the move. 13 August | Guided tour + workshop about Arduino 27 August | Guided tour + demo in the arena Every Saturday afternoon there is the possibility to take part in guided tours of the exhibition as well as guided activities of approaching robotics for kids at the LEGO® Education Innovation Studio of the MCR Foundation (booking required).
