RoboScreens, robotically controlled video display products, ABB Ltd., Robotic Arts

Last week we were on board Royal Caribbean's newest cruise ship, the Quantum of the Seas, to preview Robotic Arts RoboScreens in a one-of-a-kind installation. The 6 robots perform on stage with dancers, singers and acrobats to create a natural, dynamic and engaging experience.

This short video was recorded live and walks you through some of the most impressive features of the RoboScreen entertainment system, as told by the designer of the system, andyRobot of Robotic Arts--one of ABB's Value Providers.

We were on board for this inaugural media cruise, but once regular cruises start the performances will happen two times per day for all of the cruise ships' inhabitants to experience. In addition, the RoboScreens will be used in a revolving sequence of other immersive robotic entertainment that will happen in the Quantum of the Seas two70 room--perhaps the most technologically advanced performance stage anywhere in the world, whether on land or on sea.

Here is a compilation video that shows RoboticArts roboScreens performing in the Two70 room of Royal Caribbeans newest ship, Quantum of the Seas. We programmed the motion of these six large ABB IRB 6620 robots with Maya while the images on screen were created by Moment Factory in Montreal. There are 5 small stand alone animated shows that play throughout the day for entertainment, as well as a nightly hour long original theatrical show called Starwater with 16 dancers, musicians, singers, and aerialists.
