Day 1, week 1, start of the internship. I’ll be working on actDresses… clothes or accessories for robots, in order to change behaviour.
Let’s start with a little internet search, see what exists, what I like or dislike about it, and what I can use for inspiration.
The result:
Today, I started my internship at the Mobile Life Centre in Stockholm.
As part of my M2.1 block, this 12 week internship allows me to focus on intelligence, robots and end-user programming, while experiencing a different way of thinking, working and living at the same time.
The project I will be working on is actDresses: changing the appearance of robots in order to change their behaviour. Feed-back and feed-forward at the same time, incorporated in tags, wearables, or perhaps even robot clothes.
This blog will show my ideas, concepts, prototypes and results, complemented with my wandering thoughts and some process overview. A tool for reflection, feedback, overview and archiving.
To be expanded!
