A performance that explores the boundary between technology and human emotions and challenges us to think about memory and loss.
Orito

Dramaturgy for Devices

Human-robot interaction: Floriade
We presented the performance installation for Floriade, consisting of the 4.5-metre-high bar puppet Alex, animated by two black hydraulic KUKA robotic arms.
Mens-robot interactie: intimiteit van betekenisgeving
We borduurden voort op de vorige sprint over stem en geluid van KUKA-robots en richtte zich op literaire vorm en de uitvoering van literaire teksten. Sjaan Flikweert presenteerde gedichten en voordrachtsequenties in interactie met de KUKA-robot.
Human-robot interaction: how does a robot speak?
This sprint focused on the voice and sound of robots, we explored the meaning of voice and sound as a medium in the context of performing arts and other creative practices.
Human-robot interaction: safety and improvisation
We focused on the manual manipulation of KUKA robots within the performing arts. This poses specific safety challenges, as the robots have a lot of power and become less predictable when operated manually.
