MRISAR's Robotic, Science & Interactive Art Exhibits

Exhibit pictured in the 7,000 sq. ft. former gym of the MRISAR building, in New Leipzig, ND. This is an example of the many types of Robotic and Interactive Technological exhibits that MRISAR makes.

 

Planetary Probe Robot: Your Mission is to Explore an alien planet's terrain and find the 8 vital items needed for the justification of future missions, before your power levels are exhausted. You are in command of forward, reverse, right turn and left turn. As you move the probe across the surface, occasionally press the scan button. If an item is detected nearby, a yellow light will glow next to the name of the substance you are near.

 

The probe is a remotely controlled robot which has a solar panel that supplements the power for the mobile unit. The rest of the mobile units power in provided by a set of rechargeable batteries. This allows for indoor use. The Control panel is designed to present a list of vital elements that you are looking for on a mission in the alien terrain. You must figure out the most likely sites and take readings within a specified length of time before the probe theoretically fails to operate due to the harsh environment. The device works by sending signals by IR. to the probe and receiving signals from sensors in the terrain.

 

A version of MRISAR's Probe Rover is part of Popnology.

 

The MRISAR Team of New Leipzig, ND collaborated with Stage Nine by creating the robotics, interactive components and landscape for 6 Interactive Exhibits (Mars Probe Rover, Super Pentiductor, Cybermatrix-robotic tic tac toe, Challenge the Robot, a 5 finger Robot Arm Exhibit and a 3 Finger Robot Arm Exhibit) that are part of Popnology, which opened at the Los Angeles Fair in 2015. From there Popnology went to the Arizona Science Center in 2016. See links below.

 

Popnology; from Science Fiction to Science Fact, is a new interactive exhibition that seeks to awe, enlighten and educate its visitors with outstanding displays of technological advances inspired by pop culture. It’s about how technological advances and pop culture have influenced each other. Other exhibitions are: the original DeLorean from “Back to the Future”; The Batmobile from “Batman Forever”; The iconic “Time Machine”; the “Terminator”; replicas of three different Mars rovers from JPL; and the HAL 9000 computer from “2001: A Space Odyssey.”

 

MRISAR is the most versatile Robotics R & D Team in the world. Team members are John and Victoria Siegel and their daughters Autumn and Aurora Siegel who joined the team as preschoolers. All four members are inventors and artists. Everything that MRISAR creates is designed and fabricated in their shops and labs by their team of family members.

 

In 2010 MRISAR, (a business that has Designed, Fabricated & Marketed the Earth’s Largest Selection of “Internationally Renowned & Awarded, World-Class Robotics Exhibits & Devices”; and “Hands On” Scientific, Technological & Interactive Art Exhibits), purchased a disused school on the plains of North Dakota and relocated to it. Profit from their International Exhibit Sales helps fund their Humanitarian R&D and the transformation of the 36,000 sq. ft. complex, surrounded by 10 acres in North Dakota, into a World-Class “Interactive, Robotics, Technology, Invention, Art & Nature Center”.
