Golem – Morphology and Material in Kinetic Structures

Category Arduino MaxMSP Members Robotics People Posted on:

Created by Juncheng Chen, Siyuan Jing and Lydia Zhou at the Bartlett School of Architecture (Interactive Architecture Lab), this project explores possibilities in mobile structures by investigating various strategies for locomotion.

Inspired by Theo Jansen’s mechanism designed for walking movements, the project began with investigation into a structure of a machine named Golem, a lightweight, low-cost and sustainable mobile structure, using air as the main energy input. The team developed an air muscle actuator to generate movements of the robot, experimented with different designs from tensegrity structure to biomorphic mechanism.

Fantastic Smartphones – ECAL MID

Fantastic Smartphones, alternative accessories, interactive installations and machine performances highlight the excesses relating to our use of these devices. By imagining innovative ways of interacting with our smartphones or by delegating our repetitive actions to machines, this exhibition takes a critical look at a society that has become addicted to an object that seems to have become indispensable : the “smart” phone.
