Tickle Salon |
|
When a human being is gently tickling somebody, sooner or later tiredness and slackening will appear.
Therefore we developed Tickle Salon. This robot installation provides a space arranged for
stroking sessions. The suspended robot uses a "feeler" to probe the body beneath it. The robot uses
artificial intelligence to gradually form an increasingly detailed picture of the body laying on the
bed. It can use this to carry out sensitive movements over the surface of the skin, endeavouring to
offer variety, unpredictability and flexibility. Year of production: 2002. Tickle Salon has been awarded with a first prize in 2002 at LIFE 5.0, an international competition on Art & Artificial Life.
