Embodied Intention: Robot Spinal Initiation to Indicate Directionality

Published: 10 October 2019 Publication History

Abstract

This paper explores how a spine-inspired robot can be designed to provide embodied cues to performers, in order to indicate its intention to change direction through its shifting of weight. Our prior work has explored the importance of utilizing body-level cues such as breath and center of gravity to provide more intuitive information about how a robot, media, or physical agent can act in collaboration with human performers. We detail the design and implemented process of the spinal robot and situate this exploration in a body of work on embodied interaction.
