Kirsty Boyle - 2008 Synapse Residency _
Tags robotics, residency, science Type Blog
Kirsty Boyle, a 2008 Synapse Residence recipient, is drawing upon her extensive knowledge of Karakuri Ningyo (Japanese mechanical doll making) to develop girltron, a girl robot with a mechanical performance-based artificial intelligence (AI) system. Girltron highlights the importance of fusing science with broader cultural and social concerns and recognises the role tradition plays in contemporary technology. Kirsty’s chief collaborator for the project is AI specialist, Dr Lijin Aryananda, who is based at the AI Lab, University of Zurich.
