"Robot Army Starter Kit" on Kickstarter

Light Play is an interactive hive of miniature delta robots made from 3D printed parts which act as a mechanical prosthetic for enhancing self expression. The movements of the individual robots are choreographed by a single participant's physical gesture, resulting in simultaneous feedback in the form of movement and light patterns that mimic the motions of the body.

Robot Army : In a Nutshell

Published on Aug 20, 2014

In short : Mark and I are building an interactive light installation consisting of several hundred small delta robots which we've designed ourselves and manufacture at home. This is our robot army, and we're going to take it all over the place… =] So if you've ever dreamed of controlling your own collective of obedient machines with your thoughts, impulses or discrete body movements- CHECK IT OUT! We're making it so.

Light Play : Spring 2015

Published on Jan 22, 2015

This is our interactive installation of miniature delta robots which respond to physical motion, granting the user with the sensation of control over an immersive mechanical entity.
The robots featured in this video are the original 30 of our proof of concept. This spring we are expanding that number to 86 and taking the fully realized collective on tour along the west coast.

We have 42 delta robots running with Kinect, Processing, and a Netbeans GUI. The aim was to make the robots react to hand motions the same way blades of grass would move underneath your palm.
