Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation...

I know there's no use even attempting to bring Ashlynn to an art museum, but she was willing to go to a science museum. Rather than the regular science museum, we visited this cutting edge museum.
 The first exhibit was about androids, which we found quite creepy.
This is a Telenoid, which is even creepier. It's basically an android with the bare minimum fundamental requirements for human appearance. Strangely, it can hug because humans require physical contact.
We waited about 20 minutes for a robot demonstration, which was defnitely worth it. Asimo is a humanoid robot designed and developed by Honda.
Even though we couldn't understand what he was saying, it was great to see a robot jumping and running like a little kid.
We participated in an experiment that required us to walk in place while solving math equations. Each problem was only on the screen briefly, so there was a lot of guessing going on.
