The Riverside Robotics Society presents the Riverside Robot Expo 2011. This is an exposition of robots and robotics that will include live-size replicas of robots including Wall-E and R2D2 as well as presentations on robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and robotic sensors including the Microsoft Kinect.
