Homer's Iliad tells the story of Hephaestus, the god of fire and technology, intent on building mechanical automata to help him in the work. His prodigious forge was placed inside the Etna and today, at the foot of the volcano, the Science City of Catania offers among its initiatives an area dedicated to robotics. Here you will find that a simple mechanical arm, created to assemble cars, can also solve the Tower of Hanoi game with the fewest number of moves. You will know how much study is necessary so that a humanoid robot can perform simple actions like running after a ball, greeting or bowing. You can also learn how to project and build small cars, with the support of intelligent Lego Mindstorms pieces; and, in order not to lose the thread, an electronic museum guide will be ready to accompany you and give you all sorts of information.
