5990 Sharedrobotics Browser [Flash]

sharedRobotics_01

Created by Shiftcontrol, Sharedrobotics Browser is an interactive flash application that allows you to explore the history of robotics in art and popular culture. The blog functions as a database where everyone can add new robots and comment on the ones already there. The graphic interface works to visualize the data and create a better understanding of the developments and trends.

As the amount of data increases answers to questions like ‘where does robotics take place’, ‘what typologies of robots are there’, ‘when did what development take place’ emerges. sharedrobotics.com aims to be both a collaborative effort in collecting data and an analytical tool in visualizing it.

The project was commissioned by RoboDays 09. Besides the online version, the application can be experienced and interacted with in the form of a 4×1 meter multitouch display situated in the Shared Robotics exhibition at Brandts Kunsthall (an art museum in Odense, Denmark).

If you would like to get more insight into the project, do have a look at Tor Guttormsen’s internship report from working at Shiftcontrol on the Sharedrobotics project.

Shiftcontrol was founded by Jørgen Skogmo and Patrik Svensson in copenhagen, 2006 and later joined by Simon Løvind in 2008. The team focuses on interaction design, algorithm controlled animation, sensor driven interactive installations, web applications, broadcast applications and digital design.
