Warning: this Take-Away Science episode involves more than a hint of technology.  We chat to Becca Wilson and Oliver Butters about their virtual space science project with school students.  We also meet Professor Justin Cobb who's leading the way with robotic surgery and catch up with Ashley Green and Claire Rocks from the Walking with Robots project.  The interviews are recorded by OU staff and the programme is hosted by Dr Mike Bullivant from the OU/BBC television series Rough Science.
