They're almost here: robots are coming for Robotronica



The wait is almost over - some of the world's coolest robots are getting ready to invade QUT this Sunday for Robotronica.

What is Robotronica at QUT?

A gathering of robots from around the globe that fly, walk, glide and talk - August 18

Ars Electronica - 30 flying robots that dance in formation in the night sky from Austria
Geminoid - a robot 'clone' of maker Prof Ishiguro, so life-like it's hard to tell them apart
Diamandini - a beautiful lady-in-white robot from Sydney who will haunt the halls of Old Government House
Naos - four cute dancing humanoid robots
Paro - a baby seal robot

The largest swarm of flying robots ever seen in the Southern Hemisphere will dance in the night sky above QUT's new Science and Engineering Centre in Brisbane next month.
