Dear colleagues,
Please consider joining us at ICRA '24 (online or in Yokohama, Japan) on Friday May 17 for a workshop on robotics and art with a mini-tutorial on movement notation funded by an AI infrastructure grant from the National Science Foundation.
The day will begin with an invited talk from Catie Cuan and Ken Goldberg, joint between our workshop "Speed-dating to long-term relationships: Art-robot Residencies Enabled by Common Language" as well as a related workshop on choreographic swarms. We will continue with paired artist/roboticists talks from Dan Koditschek and Kat McDermott, Mark Yim and Simon Kim, and Monica Thomas on her work with Boston Dynamics. Each talk will discuss past or ongoing residencies by artists in robotics labs.
We will then have an exciting "match-making" opportunity where we encourage cross-disciplinary interactions and perhaps seed new collaborations via a "speed-dating" activity. Then, pairs will learn about movement notation for describing and choreographing movement on natural and artificial platforms while engaging in a creative activity designed to provide an example of interdisciplinary work and perhaps even a jumping off point for new work.
The workshop will conclude with break out sessions where potential new collaborators will begin crafting ideas to compete for one of the seed-funding stipends (we have $1500 committed so far). The day ends with dinner between our workshop and the choreographic swarms workshop where we know there will be much commonality to discuss and build on!
Please fill out our interest (sign-up) form before the event here (we will use these emails to send virtual attendance links): https://forms.gle/xLHiTDsSnWqK9FxZ8
