Robots: Robot actors at the theater
     



  We've previously reported on some robots taking part in plays, including
for example an acting
robotic desk lamp.
Now a theater play in Switzerland has cast three mobile robots in lead
roles. The Robots podcast has
taken the opportunity to talk to both, the artist directing the play and
the roboticist in charge of building the three acting robots. Christian
Denisart describes what inspired him to do a play featuring robot actors
and shares his experience with directing the play. Nicola Tomatis,
whose company Bluebotics used
its well-known expertise in navigation
solutions and mobile robotics to create three very different robot
actors, discusses the technical challenges. Tune
in!
