Can robots feel empathy? Artists Katrin Hochschuh and Adam Donovan address this question in their exhibition, Empathy swarm, the culmination of an extensive 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 observer. Its formations, animations and behaviour become the vocabulary of swarm expression. Visitors to the exhibition will experience the swarm of a fluid robot formation and discover how machines derive compassionate responses to humans.
QUT Art Museum will be open 9AM – 4PM on Sunday 18 August during Robotronica.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.
Work coproduced at Kontejner within the framework of EMAP / EMARE and co-funded by Creative Europe.
