In July, I’ll be headed to the Robot Film Festival, where I have had two films accepted. The first is my video that we recently showed at ICRA’s Robots and Art Workshop. The second is an original movie I made specifically for the Film Festival, entitled Researchin’, which I will post here after it premieres at the festival.

Researchin’ is a short film showing the lives of those who inhabit a robotics research lab. In the current age, universities are among the the few places where people interact with robots on a daily basis. As they work together, the relationship can take on new unexpected dimensions.
