From IDMind:

“The Robotarium is a structure of metal and glass, in which a set of totally autonomous robots will start “to live”, divided in different species and with different characteristics and capabilities.” It looks likes the population consists of a great variety of light-seeking photovores.

The Robotariaum’s Inventor / Artist Leonel Moura describes it as “the first zoo for artificial life.” He looks at robots very much in the way as we are used to looking at natural life. ” We, humans, enjoy watching and studying other life forms behavior and, sadly, also to capture them. However, in this case, although the robots are confined to a cage it can be said that, not like animals, they enjoy it.”
