They’re man’s most intriguing creation and inevitably the cause of his ultimate downfall (if ‘80s Sci-Fi movies have taught us anything). And this weekend, they will invade London’s Science Museum.

Of course we’re talking about robots. Folks lucky enough to catch last-minute flights to London can trace the history of the robot, from “primitive” beginnings back in the 1950s to the jaw-dropping technology of the present during the Robotville exhibition at the Science Museum.

The one-of-a-kind exhibit will bring together 20 of Europe’s most advanced robots and their human creators for four days only.

The robo-action kicked off yesterday and will run through Sunday, December 4th.
