“All the world's a stage”, Shakespeare famously claimed, “and all the men and women merely players”. Today, we witness new species of players entering the world-stage as social robots are becoming increasingly part of the performance of everyday life and work. Social robots are robots that perform in situations with humans and often in interaction with them. They present challenges to their developers that are not only technical but also about what might be called the dramaturgy and design of the robot as social agent: how do social robots address their human co-performers and afford interaction with them, what scripts do they follow, how to design and choreograph their appearance and movements? Several international robot developers and researchers point to the performing arts as inspiration, model, and test-case for the development of robots and human-robot interaction. The research group Transmission in Motion(Utrecht University) investigates what the performing arts might have to offer to the development of social robots and has invited four international guests to present their projects and ideas. These are: Ruairi Glynn (Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London), Elizabeth Jochum (Aalborg University), Petra Gemeinboeck (University of New South Wales) and Rob Saunders (Falmouth University/University of Sydney).Going to the activity?
