Life Size Iron Man at Rochester Exhibit
The Rochester Museum & Science Center’s presents a new exhibit known as the “Alien Worlds and Androids” running until December 22nd.
Iron Man will be joined by such first tier peers such as that loveable golden robot from Star Wars in the interest of education.
“Joining Iron Man are replicas of other Hollywood film heroes and villains: C-3PO, the intellectual android from Star Wars; Robby the Robot, the amiable robot from Forbidden Planet; Gort, the helmet-headed giant from The Day the Earth Stood Still; T-800, the ruthless skeleton-like cyborg from Terminator; and The Alien, the hideous insect-like creature from Alien.
“These are images that all of us have grown up with,” says Calvin Uzelmeier, RMSC’s director of education. “It bridges the generations and marries this perfect world of content, interactivity and entertainment.”
Created with the assistance of NASA and Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the exhibit explains the latest technology, including robots and artificial intelligence, used by scientists searching for aliens in outer space, in the deepest recesses of the Earth and even in our own bodies.
The Hollywood science fiction characters are part of a display outlining how scientists developed artificial intelligence and clarifying such pesky questions as how robots differ from androids. Robby the Robot showcases early robotics with his chunky upper body and legs like stacks of bowling balls, while Iron Man looks like a futuristic muscle man in red and gold armor (updated from his original 1963 Marvel comic book look). The museum plans to set up compatible displays, such as ones featuring local robotics technology.”
