HighFiveBot

Kinetic interactive installation for Mediaapparat and the Pioneers Festival 2014. To communicate the innovativeness of Mediaapparat as a leading company in media design, festival/stage design and installations using emerging technologies, a gesture concept for a humanoid robot was developed. The location at the entrance of the Pioneers Festival made it inevitable to develop a greeting gesture, which led to a robot that was showing a welcoming gesture as an idle animation until the recipient interacted through the hand detecting sensor and triggered the high five animation.
