** R.I.A. (Robot Institute of Art)

This project is searching of the relationship between the robot and the human. Recently, There are many kinds of robot not only industrial robot. For example, pet robot, animal robot, amusement robot, humanoid robot and security robot. These robots have many purpose. And we don't know what is the robot exactory?
The definition of the robot is very ambiguous and various. In addition, normally the robot is made by engineering. In the future, we need not only engineering but artist and designer. We have to research about Robot from many aspect of points.
Long time ago, since artists showed many works, oil painting, sculpture , They also showed new life style and life value for the human. And, Art and Technology were same field and same meanings. Engineer was also Artist. So we can research robot from engineering and art.

This is the progress work which is independent ball type robot. The robot can move any direction to change the center of balance. And, there are some sensors can communicate with people and avoid the objects.
This robot program is very simple action. but its shows various actions, like creature. Because this style is ball type and touched only one point on the table. This robot is easy to rolling by the environment of the table. When there is small spot or slope, robots action is changed easily by the these environment. So Its received effect of the environment more than the programing. I think human and creature actions are given influence by the environment of them more than trigger of themselves. Therefore, our environment makes variety of living.
