Julius Popp 2002
His work is about the interface between art and science. Some of his pieces are Micro.spheres, Bitfall, Bitflow, Macro.perpendiculars and Micro.race. His work is focus on autonomous intelligent systems.
"The robots are limited to one degree of freedom, the (double meaning) rotation about themselves. The robots' motion, rolling on two wheels mounted to a wall, is archived by moving an inward facing actuator. This changes the robot's balancing point, forcing the body to turn to a new balanced position. The robot's turning and rolling is a visualization of the controller's learning progress -- a picture of the emerging body-consciousness."
This project was developed with the Fraunhofer Institute AIS - INDY (Institut Intellgente Analyse-und Informationssysteme/ Intelligent Dynamics)
