It wakes up when people approach its box and squirts water at whoever disturbed its sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The viewer first experiences a closed box, which opens as they approach. They then would see the cuttlefish, eyes glowing and the light from the spotlight reflecting off of the fabric, making the entire piece shine. This creates a spooky, mystical effect. The cuttlefish then waves its arms around, the servos making a cranky sound that speeds up as the user stays in front of it. Finally, they get squirted with a splash of water before the cuttlefish closes the box, going back to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2021\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_8434-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2021\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_8434-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2021\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_8434-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2021\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_8434-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2021\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_8434-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2021\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_8434-973x649.jpg 973w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2021\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_8434-508x339.jpg 508w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2021\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_8434.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Course Themes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We wanted to make our project surprisingly animate. The robot starts off in the form of a box, then turns into an animate anthropomorphized individual. We use the autonomous behavior of the robot to create a narrative ritual that the viewer unknowingly participates in by stepping up to the box. We use simple machines and laser-cut components to create animation, such as through the tentacles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2021\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_9153.HEIC-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2021\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_9153.HEIC-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2021\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_9153.HEIC-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2021\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_9153.HEIC-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2021\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_9153.HEIC-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2021\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_9153.HEIC-973x1297.jpg 973w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2021\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_9153.HEIC-508x677.jpg 508w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2021\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_9153.HEIC-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Viewers either seemed hesitant to come close to the piece, or went very close and tried to interact with it. The people who saw others getting squired were more wary to approach. The cuttlefish seemed intimating to most people, especially those who saw the tip of the squirt bottle. Even simple LED lights were interpreted as cameras by viewers, adding to the anthropomorphism&nbsp;of the cuttlefish.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Video<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cuttlefish Documentation Video\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e4oLtOaBbuQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
