Robots With Personality: Designing Robotic Movement

How can we design movement in robots to work inclusively and creatively with humans?

Human teams are most creative when diversity of human talent and personality strengths come together. How can we design robotic movement for creative practice? Posthumanism is also opening up a design space where intelligence can be rethought in an assemblage of humans and non-humans together with objects and technologies.

You will explore hands-on the co-design process and tools that roboticists and designers used to design robotic movement for creative practice and to explore movement creatively. Play hands-on with the prototypes, exchange business cards with Dr. Meicy, explore how a rope can act with sophisticated robotic movements and be inspired to think of robots as one with our environment, in a prototype that reinvents the definition of “aquatic” robot.

Design Research exhibition, showcasing the research methodology, research toolkit, robotic prototypes and finalised robot, as visiting Professor at University of Tokyo.
