I have an unusual job. I teach robots how to dance.
In 2017, I transitioned from dancing on stages with humans to dancing with robots. Big robots, small robots, single-arms and roving robots. Robots that fly, vacuuming robots. A lot of robots that look like humans. And a whole bunch that don't. I'm pretty sure I've choreographed and danced with more different types of robots than anyone on Earth. => People get together and choreograph big dance numbers!
Why do I do this? Because robots move and choreographers understand how movement affects us. If a robot slides politely out of a doorway to let you pass, might make you feel seen and acknowledged. If a robot marches quickly towards you and avoids you at the last second, it might cause revulsion and fear. => She felt a deep sense of revulsion at the violence
Robots are beginning to show up in our everyday environments, from sidewalks to offices, backyards to hospitals. And they will be threatening and confusing to us if we do not carefully examine how they move.
I'm also a roboticist and an engineer. I study this connection between robot motion and emotion. I combine my expertise in robotics and dance in the emerging field of choreo-robotics, the intersection of dance and robotics.
Right now, we're giving AI a robot body with physical intelligence. AI technologies like GPT and Gemini are becoming the robot's brains, which means that robots are getting smarter. Much smarter.
Think of what AI has already done to text and video generation. We are just scratching the surface on seeing what AI can do in the physical world. => Don't judge a book by its cover., Don't just scratch the surface.
We are going to be interacting with these new intelligent robots more and more, interacting with them through movement.
1. choreograph : 안무를 짜다
2. revulsion : 혐오감
3. scratch the surface: 수박겉핧기식으로 처리하다. 피상적으로 다루다.
