Dancing with ChairBots

摘要

Over the summer of 2018, CHARISMA Robotics Laboratory at Oregon State University invited a Theater Artist to collaborate on two interdisciplinary robot theater productions using ChairBots and human performers. Both productions shared in a three-week development period, the same development team and performing robots, and culminated in live performances. This paper acts as a companion to the video documentation of these productions, addressing the novelty and contributions, both technical and creative, of dancing with robot furniture.
