Robots, Art, People and Performance Lab
(RAPP Lab)
An Exploratory Study on Human Robot Interaction
The RAPP Lab is a collaboration between the Robotics Lab | Human Centred Technology Centre at the University of Canberra, Aalborg University, Denmark and Robological. In a series of workshops, we explore the aesthetics, ethics, psychology and technologies of humans interacting with robots. Each session includes free-form interactions with robots, an improvised dance performance and a Q&A session with the artists, and an expert panel on robotics, theatre, business and innovation. In collaboration with CoLABS – a festival of Art & Science in Sydney. Workshops are experimental explorations and each session will be unique in experience. The events may be video/photographed for documentation and publicity purposes. Plase, register to attend one of the sessions by following the links bellow. Places are strictly limited to maintain the intimacy of the experience.
RAPP Lab has been conceived and developed by Damith Herath (University of Canberra) and Elizabeth Jochum (Aalborg University, Denmark). Read an article about the project on Canberra Times here.
