Future
Investigating Standing Stones and Swarm Robotics: A New Approach to Ancient and Emerging Technologies. An interactive installation combining swarm robotics, ancient standing stones and performance with Melbourne Flight Lab and Swarm Robotics Team.
Squid-inspired lighting: the functional bio-bulb creating the world’s first “functional bio-bulb” – a light that works using bacterial bioluminescence with biomedical engineer Matt Faria and mathematical biologist Stuart Johnson.
