Robotics Research: A common task in automated manufacturing processes is to orient parts prior to assembly. We consider sensorless orientation of a polygonal part by a sequence of fences. We show that any polygonal part can be oriented by a sequence

Coexistence is an interactive art installation that blurs the boundaries between physical reality and virtual reality. This work includes innovative approaches to interaction, interface design and “mixed reality” utilizing see-through head

OHP III is a light installation that investigates the poetic potential of an obsolete technological medium, the overhead projector. The additional film rolls of the projector, usually manually operated, are moved and controlled through motors and

Quasar is an immersive light and sound space made from prototype membranes and realized as an interactive light/sound object and comprised of a dense array of interlinked elements describing an intricate three-dimensional structure. The gallery is

Swinging out over a synthesized creek, viewers stir up the artificial life forms therein. Engaging kinesthetic immersion takes place within themed surroundings, where two rope swings track the participants' position using linear position

Backpacks are a series of physical components with a button knob that can be attached to Topobo Actives to modify the way a recorded motion plays back. For instance, by turning the knob on the Bigger/Smaller Backpack, you can make you recorded

I/O Brush is a new drawing tool to explore colors, textures, and movements found in everyday materials by "picking up" and drawing with them. I/O Brush looks like a regular physical paintbrush but has a small video camera with lights and touch

Two dancers, a visual artist and a sound artist, perform live. Performing bodies as an interface between the spectators and the media environment. By manipulating the sensors, spectators can modify certain parameters of the media environment.

In order to give the child the impression that a character is listening to their stories, we have invented a clever mechanism that captures the motions and speech of a child using sensors and audio processing. Continuing in the vein of research on
