Robot Love

'Robot Love'. What is the first thing that comes to mind when a friend asks you if you want to join him to here. Exactly... you are not really sure...But still, curiosity always wins AND it is always a good thing catching up being in your hometown.


Robot Love, an exposition in the old Campina Factory in Eindhoven. That is what this is about!

A spin-off from last years edition of the Dutch Design Week, finally managed to get their own stage for about three months, showing all kinds of aspects of how robots interact with AI. Welcome to the future you would say right?


Immediately this Boston Scientific video came to mind about a robot choosing his own route in a parkour session, so I was siked! Eindhoven as the European Silicon Valley would demonstrate their skills for real now!





Reality kicked in just there


It was a design expo, and for some reason I don't 'get' design very well





I need a hell of a background to understand what these kinds of things actually have to do with robots and AI



The foam producing thing I can understand because the foam has its own way and always will create a unique slurf, but the big eyed-traveller? I was puzzled.


Meet AnnLee. A Manga character whos rights have been bought by a next party. Because of this her character is used in different 'worlds' than the one she was designed in and therefore she becomes to life. (Wasn't there a Black Mirror episode on this? That a womans AI gets trapped in her home control system having a human opinion? I get this same vibe on here). Read the real story about the concept down there.

Augmented Reality

Now there was also one room there with something that I found kind of interesting in theme augmented intelligence. Enhancements in our existing reality.



So you got a cell phone from the expo before you entered this room. All kinds of QR codes where hanging there and when your phone would reach a certain QR code, certain animations would be added on your phone. Also a real life dancer (super trippy as if she was on drugs) was walking around on the room. So the combination of a real life person walking in this room, and also the 'imaginary' ones that were addes on the phone made this kind of a weird experience.


They also gave me a flyer with a QR code and the app if you want these kinds of weirdos in your house as well on your phone. If you are interested, lemme know. I am passing on those monsters to get into my house hahahahahha.





And now what you all want to know (I know you do!). Was there also actualy robot love?


Well honestly the #NSFW section of your newspaper was less boring. Not even worth mentioning or taking a picture of, sorry for the desillusion guys :)


So, the Robot Love exposition. YAY or NAY? -> Sorry kids, not this one....

I've always said that bots are the future of mankind.

Hahahaa you'd have fun anywhere you go @karinxxl! We've been seeing a lot of stuff about our friends who've already been made into sexy silicone dolls.. not long until they're "upgraded" with robotic parts and AI.. haha how creative a species we are eh? 🤖
