This conference will bring together industry professionals and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), to launch Shadowplay, a collaborative research project created by Andrew J King, Senior Lecturer in Critical Theory, School of Design at the Arts Institute at Bournemouth (AIB) and Piers Bizony, media producer in the field of Public Understanding of Science. The aim is to build an animatronically simulated humanoid robot, representing a model that might exist in, say, 20 years’ time. This robot is essentially a physical illusion, operated by human performers using remote control. It will enable project participants to role-play the experience of interacting with an apparently intelligent, socially competent machine.
