Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Robotics, mechatronics and animatronics (the construction of robots to look like people or animals) are finding widespread use in the cultural and entertainment industries. This proposal seeks to bring together academic researchers, industry representatives and visual and performance arts practitioners as part of a Creative Robotics research network. The network will support the transfer of knowledge, expertise and personnel between these different sectors, act as a showcase for the work of network members, and encourage educational outreach activities. The network will host a web portal for use by network members, as well as a public facing showcase website. The network will support regular meetings for core network members and special interest groups and promote an annual research meeting for all network members. Academic members will be encouraged to work with arts practitioners in the development of accessible research technology demonstrations, transfer research results to industrial contexts and identify relevant educational programs. Industrial partners will be encouraged to identify education and training requirements, areas appropriate for applied research, and offer work placements to other network members. Arts practitioners will be invited to explore the expressive potential of new technologies in both small works and in the wider context of the creative and entertainment industries.
