Robot invasion sparks hi-tech battle

IT’S not every day you get to meet a robot — unless you’re a time traveller like Dr Who.

But now is your chance: eight life-sized robots — including a real “live” Dalek — are invading the National College of Ireland (NCI) in Dublin’s financial district this weekend.

Don’t be alarmed to see the world’s first full-sized rope-climbing robot scale the exterior walls of the 50ft NCI building on Mayor Square. Skelly has climbed higher than 70,000 feet in her lifetime.
