Theidea ofthis research iscreation ofamegaprogrammable interactive robotic surface, dynamically responsive three dimensional surface that configures inreal-time according toinput fromavariety ofinput sources (movements sensors, sound signals, video signals, maths data generated within thecontroller etc). Assuch, itcan bethought ofasathree-dimensional surface orscreen, butonethat canbeattuned toits surrounding environment, creating thepotential foraphysically responsive surface which hasalso attracted theattention ofinnovative archi- tects forits useinvarious architectural structures. Itmayalso beusedtodisplay text orimages, responding rapidly enough tobeable tomapthemovements andsounds ofpeople. Therefore, itcanfunction alternately asatactile mirror, aninformation surface oramulti cavity mould. This talk will focus onthesystem design andnovel control architecture that enables large numbers ofpneumatic cylinders tobecontrolled inahighly coordinated manner to create complex 3Dshapes. This system isreferred toasamegaprogrammable interactive robotic surface (AMPIRS) similar tohundreds orthousands ofStuart platforms working together tocreate asingle large complex surface. Biography: Saeid Nahavandi isAlfred Dealkin Professor atDeakin University, Australia. Hereceived BSc(Hons), MScandaPhDinControl andAutomation fromDurhamUniversity (UK).
