The Robo Lab will be hosted at the gallery of the Institut français Berlin and will transform to a place of creation, experimenting and sharing. With our regular evening program with talks, panels and status presentations we like to open up a discourse about our new life period with robots by including the public.

Thanks to H&S Roboter.

Curated by Thorsten S. Wiedemann, director of A MAZE.. the curatorial guideline for the installation is to build a system of playful interaction between robots and humans. A setting that blends during playing the bounderies of artificial intelligence and human behaviour.

The keywords games, robotic sensing, artificial intelligence, human machine interaction and poetry.
