Heart Robot at St Paul's Carnival

Robotics is forecast to have as profound an effect on human life in the 21st century as computers, cars, and aircraft did in the 20th. Already, children's toys are acquiring believable personalities, and many scientists are investigating how robots can be made more life-like so that we can deal with them as naturally as we would a human being.
Using a lifelike puppet equipped with robotic functions, which can 'breathe', can be startled and frightened by loud noise, or calmly go to sleep, we will help people to explore what it might be like to bond with a robot. By marrying robotics with the long traditions of puppetry, animation, mime and other arts we hope to give a glimpse today of the emotional machines of the future!

  • Date: 5th July 2008
