"Protest Flowers" by Tory Fair
Testing how the mechanics impact the movement of the flowers.
Professor Tory Fair worked with Tim Hebert (Head of the Automation Lab), as well as student worker Daniel Dischino ('25) to develop robotic flowers for her "Protest Flowers" exhibition at Odd-Kin. The Automation Lab worked with Tory to determine what types of mechanical movements (swaying, flipping, etc.) would communicate flowers' emotions (mourning, aggravation, jest, etc.).
