Amelia and the Machine is the first in a series of investigations of creative human-robot teams. It explores gestures of the robot arm as a starting point for a duet. Interacting through mimicry, timings and spatial patterns, this piece examines choreography beyond our own human bodies and how we begin to dance with machines.
