Creative Robotics and Tech

(3 Credits)

What will the future of human and robot interaction look like? How can new technology and robots inspire human creativity and help us grow artistically? How can we use the intersection of art and tech to pursue research? Einstein said, “Play is the highest form of research.” By exploring technology through art and movement, how can we further research? How can this play out in the rapid development of both sectors in Abu Dhabi and the UAE? This course provides students the tools and knowledge to integrate robotics and new technology into their creative practice as artists and researchers (no prior experience required). Students will design and create a final project exploring the intersection between art and robotics and tech in various forms. Depending on the scale of the project, students will work together as one big group or smaller groups.
