Ich bin zwar kein Ballett-Fan, aber diesen ein Meter kleinen Roboter mit seinem gerupften Federkleid bei seiner Schwanensee-Interpretation zuzusehen hat mich sehr gerührt. Der Bot wurde an der Uni Mälardalen (Schweden) konstruiert und die Choreografie stammt von einem professionellen Choreografen:
"We want to explore the limits of what a robot can do, what human expressions it can mimic, and how it affects people's perception of the robot when it makes an appearance in art and dance, says Lars Asplund, Professor of Computer Science at Mälardalen University in Västerås, Sweden ... The idea for the dancing robot was hatched jointly by Lars Asplund and his colleague Kerstin Gauffin, who works with theatre at Mälardalen University. With our swan we are showing that we can use robots in new ways – simply because they are beautiful and give the audience new experiences, says Kerstin Gauffin ... She got in touch with the professional dancer and choreographer Åsa Unander-Scharin, who now has designed the robot's special dance to the tunes of the famous composer Tchaikovsky. By systematically having the robot swan perform each movement by itself – right wing up, neck down, etc ... I think it's exciting to see how emotionally touched people can get by machines ..."
