Scissor Sisters' front-woman and DJ Ana Matronic is a lifelong robot fanatic. For her episode of Artsnight, she explores how robots are taking over mainstream arts and culture - co-presenting the episode with a real robot. She finds out how robots are flexing their creative muscles - having her portrait done in a life-drawing class of sketching robots created by French artist Patrick Tresset, and talking to the electro-acoustic musician Squarepusher about his recent collaboration with a robot band.

She meets New York-based cyborg artist Neil Harbisson to discover why he has become part-machine all in the name of art. And scientist and broadcaster Adam Rutherford will be sorting fact from fiction, visiting a house populated by real robots to ask just how close we are to creating the clever synths portrayed in recent science fiction films.

And on the eve of the release of the latest film from the Star Wars franchise, Ana discovers how the Star Wars robots have been brought to life for the big screen.
