If you take a trip to Detroit in the near future, you might just stumble across the Robocop... The famous crime-fighting cyborg made an enormous impact when he hit the big screen back in 1987. Since the film leans in heavily to the themes of computer science and artificial intelligence, we couldn't resist asking Dr. Eddie Sadgrove to participate in this month's program. Dr. Sadgrove is part of the School of Science and Technology here at UNE and lectures in computer science, focusing on introductory programming. As he is currently exploring neural based machine learning, he took quite an interest to the sci-fi elements of Robocop, and all of us involved with Sci Flicks are extremely lucky to benefit from his expertise!
Don't forget that Dr. Sadgrove will be present at the screening of Robocop at Belgrave Cinema here in Armidale on Thursday May 26 and will be presenting a pre-film mini lecture about the movie and a post-film Q + A with audience members, so if you've ever wondered how plausible Robocop was; now is your chance to find out!
You can discover more information (and purchase your tickets) from the Belgrave Cinema website found here!
