Robots served beer, painted paintings and even a disgruntled beggar robot roamed up and down the sidewalk asking for 50 cents. Ugobe Pleos played with the children in the crowd, who had an opportunity to shake Monty’s hand and get a signed autograph from the robot. And a small gold robot did a floating Zen version of Tai Chi.

Party goers won raffle prizes including a visit to anybots to meet Monty and Dexter in person, and free robotic magazines and travel mugs were dispersed to the crowd.

The exhibit encompasses a diverse group of robotic artists including mixed media, painters and kinetic artists. The Art is 100% violence free, and will focus on form, function, and fun.
