Lapsis, the making of, with Kod*lab

Mar 8, 2021

Kod*lab PhD students Abriana Stewart-Height, Diego Caporale and Wei-Hsi Chen, with former Kod*lab student Garrett Wenger were on set in the summer of 2019 to operate RHex for the filming of Lapsis, a first feature film by director and screenwriter Noah Hutton. These RHex robots had been previously built by Kod*lab at the University of Pennsylvania for the Museum of Science and Industry’s (MSI) exhibition Robot Revolution. We were grateful that MSI could then lend them to us to use in the film. Lab Coordinator Diedra Krieger shot behind the scenes video of work in progress on set. This video offers a look at the process and team work to create Lapsis.
