Empathy swarm (Katrin Hochschuh & Adam Donovan)

An experiment in human-robot social interaction\, a \;swarm of 50 robots interact with visitors to demonstrate robotic empathy.

Can robots feel empathy? Artists Katrin Hochschuh and Adam Donovan address this question in their exhibition\, \;Empathy Swarm\, the culmination of a multi-year research project experimenting with human-robot social interaction. Using emotion recognition algorithms and camera tracking\, a swarm of 50 \;robots adapts its behaviour and interacts with the observor. Its formations\, animations and behaviour become the vocabulary of swarm expression.

Visitors to this exhibition will experience the swarm of a \;fluid robot formation and discover how machines derive compassionate responses to humans.

You can also hear from artists \;Katrin Hochschuh and Adam Donovan at \;Artist Talk: Robotic empathy.
