This year Sydney Skybetter lead a class where students explored the ideas of humanizing robots in a world where companies and governments are rapidly increasing the way humans interact with robots and artificial intellegence.
My colleague Jill Kimball wrote a wonderful article about the Choreorobotics 0101 course for Brown’s news site.
The course split their time in the studio learning about intentional communication through movement and then taking those lessons and other materials into the robotics lab to program Boston Dynamics Spot robots to do choreographed dances to music.
