Illinois will launch a first of its kind interactive robotics exhibit.
On May 26, the historical Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois will launch a first of its kind interactive robotics exhibit. The exhibit will feature animatronics dinosaurs manufactured by Kokoro Japan and integrated with the latest in interactive robotics technology from KumoTek. Visitors will experience firsthand what it’s like to be stalked by a prehistoric predator.
RoboSUE, a robotically animated recreation of the famous Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton, is the main attraction in the experience. The show is not scripted. The dinosaurs track guests in real-time, responding based on the actions of each individual visitor. This event will bring the prehistoric past to life in front of thousands of people and will be shown over a period of four months.
