Mobile Robot: Stalker & Prey
Group Members: Craig Morey & Jonathan Dyer For our first prototype we built a really cool light following robot. It uses photo resistors to sense how far it is from the light and moves to keep that distance. But once

“3pi Chaser” Prototype
We aim to stage a small drama between two robotic actors; one acting as pursuer, and one as the pursued. We will program their personalities and predispositions towards each other, and from these a physical interaction will emerge as they interact.

One In-One Out: SongCraft
Our group built a midi synthesizer that, upon playing a few notes, will start to play a harmony alongside the user. This harmony can then be played over as well, to create the impression of a more complete piece of

One-in-one-out: Lillium Candidum
Long after all flora has become extinct, Lillium Candidum is a mechanical recreation of the Madonna lily. The basic components are there: six white petals, a long stalk, and leaves. Furthermore, the flower responds to the light in its environment, blooming

One-in-one-out: “Resonant Canvas”
Group members: Dan Sakamoto, Susan Zuo How it works: This project sets up a situation where two participants explore a pre-recorded dialogue through the act of drawing. In this project, each participant is given a special graphite crayon. When they draw
