A rigorous primer in movement studies for designers, engineers, and scientists that draws on the fields of dance and robotics.A rigorous primer in movement studies for designers, engineers, and scientists that draws on the fields of dance and robotics.How should a gestural interface react to a "flick" versus a "dab"? Versus a "punch"? Should robots reach out to a human counterpart with a direct, telescoping action or through a circuitous arc in space? Just as different movements express the different internal states of human movers, so too can the engineered systems behind robots. In Making Meaning with Machines, Amy LaViers and Catherine Maguire offer a refreshingly embodied approach to machine design that supports the growing need to make meaning with machines by using the field of movement studies, including choreography, somatics, and notation, to engage in the process of designing expressive robots.Drawing upon the Laban/Bartenieff tradition, LaViers and Maguire sharpen the movement analysis methodology, expanding the material through their work with machines and putting forward new conventions, such as capitalization, naming, and notation schemes, that make the embodied work more legible for academic contexts. The book includes an overview of movement studies, exercises that define the presented taxonomy and principles of movement, case studies in movement analysis of both humans and robots, and state-of-the-art research at the intersection of robotics and dance.Making Meaning with Machines is a much-needed primer for observing, describing, and creating a wide array of movement patterns, which ultimately can help facilitate broader and better design choices for roboticists, technologists, and designers. "Using a well-known and successful dance and performance method, the authors describe how avatars and robots can be designed to be more comfortable with these technologies"-- Provided by publisher.

Interior is clean with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- A thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between artistic expression and the principles of control theory. Authored by experts in both art and engineering, this interdisciplinary volume delves into the ways in which artists and engineers alike grapple with notions of control, feedback, and autonomy in their respective domains. The book begins by examining the foundational concepts of control theory, providing readers with a clear understanding of its principles and applications in engineering and beyond. It then transitions into an exploration of how these concepts intersect with artistic practice, drawing on examples from a wide range of artistic disciplines, including visual art, music, literature, and performance. Through a series of insightful essays and case studies, the authors investigate the ways in which artists harness notions of control and feedback to create meaning, evoke emotion, and challenge audience perceptions. From interactive installations to algorithmic compositions, the book showcases innovative artworks that blur the boundaries between the subjective and the objective, inviting viewers to reconsider their relationship to technology, society, and the world around them. Moreover, "Controls and Art" examines the broader cultural, philosophical, and ethical implications of using control as a creative tool. It prompts readers to reflect on the nature of control in contemporary society, from surveillance and automation to individual agency and free will, and encourages a deeper engagement with the ways in which technology shapes our perceptions and experiences. With its blend of theoretical insights, practical examples, and provocative questions, "Controls and Art" offers a stimulating exploration of the intersections between art, technology, and human creativity. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the evolving relationship between the subjective and the objective, and the role of control in shaping our understanding of the world.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Dancing humanoids, robotic art installations, and music generated by mathematically precise methods are no longer science fiction; in fact they are the subject of this book. This first-of-its-kind anthology assembles technical research that makes such creations possible. In order to mechanize something as enigmatic and personal as dance, researchers must delve deeply into two distinct academic disciplines: control theory and art. Broadly, this research uses techniques from the world of art to inspire methods in control, enables artistic endeavours using advanced control theory and aids in the analysis of art using metrics devised by a systems theoretic approach.To ensure that artistic influences are well represented, the individual chapters are focused so that they relate their contribution to the arts meaningfully and explicitly. Specially composed introductions set up the contributions either in terms of inspiration by artistic principles or their contribution to the arts through new analysis tools. To facilitate this, the majority of the chapters are authored jointly by experts in control theory and by artists, including dancers, choreographers, puppeteers and painters. Connections between controls and art then permeate the text so that these important relationships play a central role in the book.Controls and Art surveys current projects in this area-including a disco dancing robot, a reactive museum exhibit and otherworldly music-and illuminates open problems and topics for research in this emerging interdisciplinary field. It will draw attention both from experts in robotics and control interested in developing the artistic side of their creations and from academics studying dance, theater, music and the visual arts with an interest in avant-garde means of production.…
