ROBOTS

This is a closed, past exhibit; it is not available for viewing.

Explore The “Reel” And Real Science Of Robotics

Long before the word “robot” existed and before computers were commonly used, humans dreamed of mechanical people. Characters such as Frankenstein’s monster, the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz, C-3PO and Mr. Data have shaped our imagination. In the ROBOTS exhibition, visitors to the Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land entered the world of these fascinating machines.

Based on the 20th Century Fox animated feature, ROBOTS depicts a world populated entirely by mechanical beings, including genius inventor Rodney Copperbottom and his friends, the Rusties, who seek to make the world a better place through innovation and determination.
