New design tools for a new Robotic Industry

Lunchtime Talks are a series of informal presentations at Watershed's Pervasive Media Studio. They normally take place at 13:00 on a Friday, are free and are open to everybody who is interested in what they do. Come along, bring a sandwich, and get to know more about the Studio community, current and up-coming projects, or residents' work.

Over the last 6 years, David McGoran has been leading Rusty Squid: A studio for experimental robotic art and design, predominantly working within the contemporary arts. Their small team of Robotic engineers, experience designers and contemporary artists have been hijacking robotic technology and applying it to the creative industries.

In this Lunchtime Talk join us as we hear from David about both his surprise successes & spectacular failures over the course of more than 25 projects whilst testing and refining a unique ecosystem of tools and platforms to pioneer a new creative robotic industry.

Please note this Lunchtime Talk will take place in Cinema 3.
