NEW An army of robots has invaded London's Science Museum on a mission to teach humans their 500-year-old history. 'Robots' explores the role played by humanised machines in religion, the industrial revolution, science and popular culture. Included in the exhibition are The Silver Swan robot, built in 1773 (top left), a robot baby that can move its arms and legs (top middle), a 16th century automaton monk (right), and Baxter, a robot used in factories in the US (bottom left).
