RoboThespian paves the way for theater innovation

RoboThespian is a project with fifteen years of love

The future of theater and performance could experience significant innovation, with Engineered Arts' RoboThespian potentially leading the charge.

This project, nurtured with fifteen years of development, mimics a caricature of a human, complete with oversized ears and shoulders.

Its mouth moves akin to a ventriloquist's dummy, apparently by design. The eyes are small screens, with a camera mounted on the forehead and additional ones on the chest.

While it may be some time before it graces the stage, it promises to be an exciting feature for live panels or lavish house parties.

Simply maneuver the intuitive software

RoboThespian can be operated remotely from anywhere. Like its counterparts, it boasts a variety of expressive movements, speech, and songs.

Similarly, this autonomous performer does not require prior knowledge of coding or robotics for operation.

Use the user-friendly software and its preloaded content to craft an unforgettable evening. You can also program a sequence of routines for it to execute.

If you find these compelling automatons as fascinating as we do, share your thoughts in the comments.
