amy/eimi koike
I research human-robot interaction and create expressive robots and experimental forms. My work explores robot expressivity and how it creates delightful experiences between humans and robots. Bridging robotics with artistic practices such as sculpture and animation, I rethink robot morphology and form factors while exploring how forms and shape languages can express meaning and facilitate visual conversations.
