IMAX® Robots

In ROBOTS, host and narrator RoboThespian, a humanoid robot voiced by actor, comedian and filmmaker Simon Pegg (Star Trek, Shaun of the Dead), takes students on a lively tour of the world to meet a dozen of the most remarkable robots in Europe, Japan and the U.S.

From Robonaut, the first space robot handyman, and robot butlers and home helper humanoids, to eerily human-looking androids and remarkable rescue robots, the film showcases the latest cutting-edge efforts — and challenges — driving roboticists, engineers and scientists around the globe to new breakthroughs.
