ABSTRACT
Both a provocative artistic object and research artefact, Blo-nut is part of a project where we explore novel robotic behaviour away from the mimicry of complex human expressions more commonly associated with robotic form and movement. In this pictorial we start by outlining our underlining design principles for the design process and use images to describe the making, real-time GUI and the "choreographic sketching' of Blonut's movement characteristics. Finally, we argue for embracing novel and provoking 'otherness' in form and material when exploring interaction and communication with social robots.

Designing for Aesthetic Experience
C&C '21: Proceedings of the 13th Conference on Creativity and CognitionDigital ways of representing fine art are significantly changing the way art is put on display. New exhibition formats including digital projections of fine art allow us to rethink how we can use technology to create art experiences. However, ...
Designing robots with movement in mind
Special Issue on Design in HRI: Past, Present, and FutureThis paper makes the case for designing interactive robots with their expressive movement in mind. As people are highly sensitive to physical movement and spatiotemporal affordances, well-designed robot motion can communicate, engage, and offer dynamic ...
Dissecting the creative leap: the inside of creation
DESIRE '11: Procedings of the Second Conference on Creativity and Innovation in DesignThis paper will touch on the aspects that are present in the 'way of working' of Artists. A description is created using a black box approach and in-depth interviews with artists. A crucial role for consciousness was identified. The derived description ...
