Quantum Choreobotics: Democratizing Quantum Computing Through Interactive Dance/ Theater Performance, With On-Body Robots
Principal Investigator(s): Bill Kules
Funder: UMD Funded
Research Areas: Data Science, Analytics, and Visualization > Digital Humanities > Health Informatics > Human-Computer Interaction > Machine Learning, AI, Computational Linguistics, and Information Retrieval
UMD researchers Bill Kules and Huaishu Peng are exploring quantum choreobotics, an interactive dance-theater performance where audiences influence robot movements to engage with quantum technology concepts. The project uses art and performance to make complex scientific ideas accessible and thought-provoking for the public.
