Robots Rise Up At Atlanta Science Festival

The robots are rising up in Atlanta!

The Atlanta Science Festival returns for its fifth year, and it launches with an event featuring a number of robots doing everything from music to stand-up comedy.

“Rise Up, Robots!” will feature a number of speakers and their computerized companions, including Oregon State University robotics professor Heather Knight with Data, a robot comedian, as well as the founder of the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology, Gil Weinberg. He will be bringing Shimon, a marimba-playing robot that has the ability to listen to other musicians and improvise along.
