Insights into the exhibition “Mensch, Roboter!” at the COSMO Science Forum

Two researchers from the Barkhausen Institut, Dr. Friedrich Pauls and Dr. Carsten Weinhold, have produced a short film about the exhibition “Mensch, Roboter! Robotics from Dresden Science,” currently on display at COSMO Science Forum at the Kulturpalast Dresden.

The film provides an insight into the interactive exhibition, which opened on October 2, 2025. Asked why they paused their research for two days to work on this film project, the two summarize it this way: “We enjoy contributing to science communication. It helps us bridge the gap between the laboratory and the public. A film is an ideal medium to spark curiosity and encourage more people to visit the exhibition at the COSMO Science Forum.”

The short film shows what visitors can expect: numerous exhibits demonstrating how robots are developed, used, and researched today – all designed to invite hands-on exploration.

The aim of the film is to highlight the diversity of Dresden’s research represented in the exhibition.
