WITH the end of the world just days away, according to the Mayans at least, the rise of the robots will be confirmed this weekend at Western Australia's Curtin University.
The fourth annual Robofair, the biggest yet, will showcase the national and international advances in robotics and mechatronics with various exhibitors displaying a range of robots that could save your life or help you waste your time.
The WA police bomb squad will rub shoulders with the likes of the Curtin Robotics Club and Mars Society WA, which will obviously still be buzzing from the continuing success of the Mars Curiosity rover landing earlier this year.
Tim Keely, the engineering outreach coordinator at Curtin, said the exhibition was about how robots could help humanity, rather than replace it.
"It is to educate people about robotics and the related technology, and kids who might know Wall-E and Transformers who might have a real interest in those type of things," Mr Keely said.
"At the heart of it all robots are about us.
"What do we want, what is too dangerous for us, and what do we not want to do?"
WA's Water Corporation will show off the robots that helped out in the aftermath of the Pike River mine disaster in New Zealand in November 2010, while students of the university were working late into the night to fine-tune some creations with less serious applications.
Toby Scantlebury, Jimmy Hartanto and Xuejin Tang from the Curtin Robotics Club were working on a robotic spider and a robotic car that could be controlled via a Bluetooth-enabled phone and a 3D printer capable of "printing" with molten plastic moulded to specific shapes and specifications.
