On Stage: Robots as Performers
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper suggests to turn to the performative arts for insights that may help the fluent coordination and jointaction timing of human-robot interaction (HRI). We argue that theater acting and musical performance robotics could serve as useful testbeds for the development and evaluation of action coordination in robotics. We also offer two insights from theater acting literature for HRI: the maintenance of continuous subsurface processes that manifest in motor action, and an emphasis on fast, inaccurate responsiveness using partial information and priming in action selection.

Anthropocentrism and the Staging of Robots
By investigating the representations of the human throughout a history of the robots, we analyze robotic performances from a theatrical audience ‘pragmatic’ point of view. Hence, this interpretation of robots as performers, or staged robots, involves an act of suspension of disbelief as a first and constitutive condition of theatrical reality. As an early analysis of robotic performances and ro...

in terms. Developments in mechanical control and complex motion planning have enabled robots to become almost commonplace in situations requiring precise but menial, tedious, and repetitive tasks. Recent robotics research has targeted the mechanical and computational challenges inherent in performing a much broader range of tasks autonomously. These problems are less well-defined, requiring gre...

متن کاملRe-Affecting the Stage: Affective Resonance as the Function of the Audience
This article uses an affect theory framework to show how the audience has the power to intensify the circulation of affect in the theatrical encounter, and to impact on the unique felt quality of the performance. Assessment is made of the vital function of affect to performance through the images, sensations and expressions that performers use to describe audience engagement. Intermittently, fr...
