In this interactive exhibition led by Dr. Scott Midson, visitors will explore the concept of friendship and whether robots can be friends. The exhibition covers themes like emotion, trust, play, conversation, and touch. Participants will receive an ‘investigators pack’ to learn about these themes and conduct their own research on robot friendship. The event encourages discussions on the benefits and drawbacks of robot friends and the future of friendship, and is open to children of all ages, especially those aged 8-15.
