The Czech Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai celebrates the centenary of the word “robot”

The Czech Republic's pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai celebrated the 100th anniversary of the world's knowledge of the word "robot" at the hands of brothers Josef and Karel تشاapek.

Today, after a century has passed, and after robots have invaded the world and become an important component in running the life of the planet, the pavilion, which occupies a privileged position at the entrance to the Sustainability District, celebrated this anniversary by lighting the statue of "Victoria Robotrum".

The huge statue is located at the entrance to the distinctive pavilion and was made by artist Jaroslav Runa, and the statue was carved from a single giant granite rock that was excavated specifically for this purpose in 2017.

The statue stands in its distinctive position as a huge sculpture that expresses the progress of technology and its control over all sectors of work.

Jaroslav Rona, the statue's maker, said that work on this sculpture took about four years, as the statue rises to about six meters and weighs more than 16 tons.

In addition to lighting the colossal statue, the Czech pavilion also organized a show of "Pantomime" art entitled "Robot Radius", where the art show was presented at the Dubai Exhibition Center within the Expo 2020 Dubai site, and was attended by His Excellency Berry Slavic, Ambassador of the Czech Republic to the country.

The artistic performance embodied a story of a struggle between the last human on earth with robotics technology that swept the world to send a message to warn humanity of the phenomenon of climate change.
