Sound Communication Robot


description

[lang_en]I made a prototype robot for Tatsuya Matsui’s exhibition, “Flower Robotics”, in the Contemporary Art Gallery at the Art Tower Mito. This work is a experimetal installation to find the best way to communicate with robots.
I made a robot which has microphone, led light and speaker. Each robot’s character is determined by analyzing the inputted voice. As a result of the analysis, those robots have sex (pitch), characters (change in volume), and conditions (change in rhythm). Those robots also affect each other depending on their position.[lang_en]
