Quantum Choreobotics: Democratizing Quantum Computing Through Interactive Dance/ Theater Performance, With On-Body Robots
Bill Kules and Huaishu Peng are part of the UMD team awarded $10K to explore quantum choreobotics—a new form of dance/theater art performance that delves into complex quantum technological concepts and their societal implications. This innovative performance involves interactive dance with a group of robots, aiming to democratize the experience by allowing the audience to influence the actions of robots as they traverse dancers’ bodies. Through this creative endeavor, the team seeks to engage audiences in understanding quantum technology through the medium of art and performance.
