General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception Lab

Kumar, along with GRASP Lab members Daniel Melligner and Alex Kushleyev, are helping scientists and engineers create smarter, faster, and more flexible robots by mimicking the swarming behaviors of birds, fish and insects. Figuring out how to move in unison without crashing into obstacles, or one another, is a critical skill for robot teams to develop, especially since they may one day be used to survey landscapes, build structures, or even play music.
In this demonstration, the “stage” is in a room fitted with infrared lights and cameras. The nano quads all have reflectors on their struts, which allows the camera system to plot their exact position and relay that information wirelessly to each unit.

Noisy Jelly

French design school students Marianne Cauvard and Raphaël Pluvinage have created an astonishing fully working prototype. It is a science lab for musical jelly, called ‘Noisy Jelly’. With the lab you can create your own music, using water and a few grams of agar agar powder to create different jelly shapes. By placing the shapes on the game board, different sounds can be played. 


Lis Rhodes

Lis Rhodes, Dresden Dynamo (1971). This film is the result of experiments with the application of Letraset and Letratone onto clear film. It is essentially about how graphic images create their own sound by extending into that area of film which is 'read' by optical sound equipment.
