- The National Museum of Mathematics, located in Manhattan, has developed an interactive robot exhibition that will be open to the public starting on December 14th.
- Museum visitors stand on a thick glass floor; underneath the floor are robots. The visitors wear a reflector pod on their shoulders, which sends a location signal to overhead cameras that is then sent to each of the robots under the glass floor.
- The robots respond differently to the visitors depending on what mode they're programmed to be in.
- There is "Run Away" mode, where the robots try to run away from the visitors. "Pursue" mode is when the robots try to get as close as possible to the visitors. When on "Robophobia" mode, each robot will try to get as far away as possible from their fellow robots.
- Creators of the exhibition hope that it will be fun for all ages, and will inspire visitors by showing them what math can do.
