Three robot-rooms: the AWE project

Published: 21 April 2006 Publication History

Abstract

We describe innovative new work in the development of an "animated architecture." Specifically, we describe our early research aimed at the creation of intelligent, programmable, physical spaces supporting working life. Our research takes advantage of recent developments in HCI and continuum robotics to enable humans to exploit emerging technologies and adaptively alter both the ambience and functionality of their environments.
