Bridging crafts and technology through the transfer of embodied knowledge
The Embodied Trajectories Project showcases how robot programming transcends conventional automation, unlocking new layers of knowledge.
It highlights the generative potential of implicit knowledge in makers’ hands, particularly in marbling, by capturing and translating hand movements as they interact with materials. Utilizing the robot’s kinematics, it decodes rhythmic brush strokes, making tacit knowledge more explicit. The demo session will showcase the relevant tools and workflows.
