Keith Hammond of Make: talked with Catie Cuan. Cuan, a dancer and engineer, works with “choreobotics” The art of robot movement (not to be confused with robotic movement).
We are on the precipice of the most tremendous change in the way we experience our environment. Previously everything around us that moves — animals, trees in the wind — was part of nature. Robots are not part of nature. It’s an enormous change — we are extremely attuned to motion around us, because we’re animals, we used to get eaten. It’s like when personal computers moved from just military and academia into many other domains, they created the whole field of human-computer interaction — the psychology, interface design, all that. The same thing is happening now with robots — choreography, architecture, AI, medicine, “corobotics” in the workplace — robotics is moving into all these areas. This is the big transition we’re experiencing at the moment. In the future thousands of people will have this as their job — to understand how to choreograph robots to be around human beings.
