Abstract:
Track Back is a human-robot art installation that investigates both live human robot interactions as well as human movement embedded in historical video repositories as sources for the robot’s movement. The artwork leverages the unity game engine as a mediating platform for the robot to access human movement and repurpose it for its own body. This allows the robot’s movement to be procured from multiple sources. The unity environment can also be used to connect robots of different morphologies to the movement sources enabling flexibility in the engagement between human and robot.
