The three larger-than-life-size animated robots include a chameleon and a platypus. Also featured is a house fly with a 3-foot wingspread.

The exhibit is based on the book “The Robot Zoo” that was conceived, edited and designed by Marshall Editions of London, England.

“We’re excited to bring this exhibit to our community. Not only does it feature robots – something we’re very familiar with here at ExWorks – it is also a very hands-on experience,” Matt Jetty, ExplorationWorks exhibits and facilities director, said in a news release.
