"Robotics," an interactive exhibition from the
Carnegie Science Center, will be on view from Saturday through
September at the South Florida Science Museum, 4801 Dreher
Trail N., West Palm Beach.
The exhibition
will have robotic stations for visitors to operate.
Some famous faces
from the world of robotics — replicas of the B9 from Lost in
Space and Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet — are

in Boca Raton. The guest robots will be voiced by WPTV Channel
5's Steve Weagle and Dean Tendrich.
Visitors on
opening weekend will have the chance to meet Bob May, the
actor who played the original B9 in the Lost in Space series.
Some challenges
facing visitors will include racing a robot to sort keys,
playing tic-tac-toe against a robot, performing simple tasks
using robotic arms and figuring out how robots help the
hearing impaired.
"Robotics" will be the largest exhibition the museum
has featured in nearly a decade, Exhibits Director Peter Feher
said.
Admission is $9

Museum hours are
