At the COSMO Science Forum, preparations are underway for the new exhibition “Mensch, Roboter! – Robotics from Dresden science”. Starting October 2, 2025, visitors can explore how robots are being developed – and how they might become part of our daily lives.

The exhibition features robot prototypes, models, and interactive stations created by researchers from several Dresden institutions. Topics range from robots in healthcare and agriculture to questions of safety, trust, and privacy.

Photos from the setup already give a first glimpse: an interactive world is taking shape, inviting visitors to try things out, think along, and discuss.

Time frame: October 2, 2025 – February 27, 2026
Opening hours: Tuesday to Thursday, 1–6 pm
Location: COSMO Science Forum, Kulturpalast Dresden
