BOT & DOLLY
Craft Class 4 Robots
We will work through two creative spaces – fabrication design and visual effects – to leverage multiple human-robot interfaces for programming motion. The workshop encourages rapid iteration and experimentation using parametric and animation toolsets to design both sequential and timebased motion. Through iterative design charrettes, participants will be introduced to motion design for synchronous robotics, motion capture using multiple sensory inputs, and workflows for rapid ideation.
Location: University of Michigan
Prerequisites
Familiarity with Rhino 5.0 and Grasshopper required. Familiarity with Maya or similar animation software a plus.
