Robot Dancer
Kerry Bircett from the English National Ballet and the robo-snake perform for awed audiences at the Streetwise Robots event in London.
A ballerina from the English National Ballet poses gracefully next to a...robot snake? That's right. A two-meter tall snake-bot was on display at the Streetwise Robots event on May 6 at the London Science Museum's Dana Center. The work of Merlin Robotics, Nottingham Trent University, and the Edinburgh College of Art, the slithery mechanical snake mimics the dexterous movements of a ballerina, sliding up her arm as she performs a por de bras.
Pretty soon, we may see dancing robots onstage alongside prima ballerinas! An exciting development, if you ask me.
