Resident Center Stage Robotics: Stephanie Pan
Discover the musical potential of the KUKA robot: an intense exploration of technology, voice and performative impact.
Resident Center Stage Robotics: Carly Everaert
Explore the dynamic interaction between the KUKA robot and puppets: an exploration of space, materials and gender fluid costumes.
Resident Center Stage Robotics: Marijn Brussaard and Niek Vanoosterweyk
Explore the power struggle between humans and robots through movement, where the KUKA robot and performers challenge each other in autonomy and control, inspired by Mark Twain’s ‘A Dog’s Tale’.
Dramaturgy for Devices
Dramaturgy for Devices shows how the performing arts can contribute to innovative design tools and methods and the value of the skills and knowledge of theatre practice for technological innovation.
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.
Human-robot interaction: care in performance art
We explored the theme of care in human-robot interaction. In the process, circus artist and performer Daniel Simu entered into a unique dialogue with a KUKA robot.
