Robotics and theater cooperate to develop robots’ social skills

In Dramaturgy for Devices, robotics and theater work together to develop the behavior and communication skills of robots. Robots are increasingly part of our daily lives. They help provide medical care and support with education and at the workplace. They are increasingly able to perform simple tasks and convey messages, but they also lack many skills needed for interaction and communication. Dramaturgy for Devices will show how the performing arts can contribute to innovative design tools and methods, and demonstrate the value of the skills and knowledge of theater practice for technological innovation.
