Listen to the ‘Acting Like A Robot’ Podcast

“If, as Shakespeare famously claimed, ‘All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players’, robots are the new kids on the block.” Prof. dr. Maaike Bleeker (Utrecht University)

The podcast ‘Acting Like A Robot’ is about the research of the same name within which the VU, UU, HKU and Ulrike Quade Company have collaborated for four years. The research looks at how the fields of social robotics and theatre can reinforce each other. What can robots learn from theatre? What does a theatre with robots look like? How can robots and humans interact? Luc de Groen dives into the subject and discusses their expertise and perspective with one of the collaboration partners each over the course of four episodes.

The podcast is in Dutch.
