The Horniman Museum The Horniman Museum in London is hosting an exhibition that allows children to understand how the natural world works through robotic models of animals.
The robotic platypus, for example, has large flashing red lights on its bill which represent the animal’s electroreceptors, which pick up electrical pulses given off by anything alive. Visitors can also catch bugs, use bat sonar and interact with creatures normally only seen in textbooks. Velcro is used to demonstrate how a housefly can stay on the wall, and it sucks up its food like a vacuum cleaner.

In my opinión...
My first impression: what a scary new!
I think this is depressing. Are we really doing all so bad that we need to replace with robots, incredible living beings from whom we can learn some things?Of course those robots can help us survive, but I don't think it's the right way to start tomorrow's present. We're lucky this new hasn't become popular.

It's surprising that after lots of years studying the animals we still discovering new things that make us work hard to understand them.But I think it's a good idea to teach how animals live.
