Live Robot Experiment

What happens when autonomously moving objects become part of our everyday environments? And how can we design their movements in ways that thoughtfully interact with human bodies?

To explore these questions, PhD-candidate Enne Lampe (TU Delft) and Master-student Hannah Kleijne (TU Delft) conducted a live experiment during Highlight Delft. Visitors were invited to move with and around a self-driving robot, experiencing its motion firsthand. Through guided movement exercises, participants reflected on their own sense of movement, their relationship to others in the space, and the presence of a moving entity with its own logic and capabilities wholly different to their own.
