The college joined forces with BMW Oxford for the display of vehicles at Templars' Square Shopping Centre, Cowley, Oxford, on Friday and Saturday.
The new Mini, which is made at BMW's Cowley plant, was on show as well as the C1 motorbike.
Creations made by Robot War enthusiasts, who meet at the college every Saturday morning, were also displayed.
Mr Willis said: "Car assembly lines were one of the first manufacturing industries to use robotics to build cars."
Two of the machines had featured on the TV show Robot Wars while four others were brand new.
