Grant Activity:
Rossum's Universal Robots: From Science Fiction to Reality
Purpose:
The 1920s science fiction play Rossum's Universal Robots by Karel Ä¿apek introduced the word 'robot' to the English language. It was set in a factory–lab that fabricates flesh and blood artificial people from a special gel–like substance.
This production brings Ä¿apek's play and its 'robots' to life in a real science laboratory. The BioFab3D laboratory, based at St Vincent's Hospital, literally builds body parts using living cells. This convergence of science fiction and real scientific research captures the imagination and makes this play relevant nearly a century after its premiere.
