艺术家用即兴与挑衅重塑机器人研究方向
How Artists Improvise and Provoke Robotics
- 通过即兴创作让机器人体验更丰富，推动技术设计创新
- 用艺术装置引发公众对机器人社会影响的反思
- 挑战科技主导的研究范式，促进跨学科方法革新
我们探讨了艺术家与机器人学家在一系列艺术作品中的跨学科合作。布伦丹·沃克的Broncomatic是一款由呼吸控制的机械牛骑乘装置；布莱斯特理论的Cat Royale部署了一台机械臂与三只猫共同生活十二天；Different Bodies是一个原型即兴舞蹈表演，残障舞者操控两台镜像机器人手臂。通过对这些作品的反思，我们探索了艺术家如何通过即兴与挑衅两种关键策略塑造机器人研究。艺术家擅长即兴延伸机器人体验，揭示技术导向设计的新机遇，同时迫使研究者调整研究过程。艺术家可引发观众对机器人社会影响的思考，也挑战了机器人研究中既有的技术中心主义理念、方法及认识论基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We explore transdisciplinary collaborations between artists and roboticists across a portfolio of artworks. Brendan Walker's Broncomatic was a breath controlled mechanical rodeo bull ride. Blast Theory's Cat Royale deployed a robot arm to play with a family of three cats for twelve days. Different Bodies is a prototype improvised dance performance in which dancers with disabilities physically manipulate two mirrored robot arms. We reflect on these to explore how artists shape robotics research through the two key strategies of improvisation and provocation. Artists are skilled at improvising extended robot experiences that surface opportunities for technology-focused design, but which also require researchers to improvise their research processes. Artists may provoke audiences into reflecting on the societal implications of robots, but at the same time challenge the established techno-centric concepts, methods and underlying epistemology of robotics research.
