"Meet the Frumbles" is a group of felt robotic characters that talk amongst themselves and interact with the audience. Empathy, cuteness and gags are explored as communicational facilitators and ludic interaction between a felt robot creature's orchestra and its human conductor. Creative coding using computer vision, electronic prototyping and physical actuators was used to implement the autonomous physical existence, sensing and behavior of creatures.
“Meet the Frumbles” was picked as Best Creative Showcase by our colleagues in the Advances in Computer Entertainment 2014 International Conference
