RoboThespian

„Engineered Arts have been very supportive“

"As far as I have worked with various robotic platforms, RoboThespian is a unique one in terms of its design and features. The well-designed and elegant structure of RoboThespian allows mimicking human movements in a seamless way. The simplicity of its backend system in programming complex tasks has enabled us to teach students to program complex movements scenarios and behaviours. The team of Engineered Arts have been very supportive in guiding us through the installation and programming steps. Due to these facts, I would highly recommend Engineered Arts technologies for any robotics lab"

„It´s easier than Ikea to set up!“

"When we approached Engineered Arts about RoboThespian we had a bold project in mind, we wanted to ask local school children to create content for the robot to engage the local community around green energy projects in Scotland. Engineered Arts took the children's ideas and created bespoke content that visitors can play from our touchscreen console that was supplied. Our installation engineer said "It´s easier than Ikea to set up, It was real fun! My compliments, I was pretty impressed!"

A great mix of science, humor, education and entertainment!

RoboThespian is a great mix of science, humour, education and entertainment, and he crosses all boundaries so for us he was an absolutely perfect exhibit to bring here. We know he can deliver educational content, he can explain the science behind robotics. We want to get people thinking about the future, thinking about science and where we're going but he's also a really great entertainer. RoboThespian comes loaded with content but there's a great opportunity for us to develop our own content both for education and entertainment. We've seen the faces of families and children over the last two or three days just as we've been testing and setting him up and the reaction has been fantastic!

Engineered Arts team is always there at a moment’s notice

"Our first Humanoid show in India at India's famous religious theme park at Shirdi, with 3 human robots was only possible because of great involvement from the Engineered Arts team. They take ownership of the project and work with the client team to the minutest details. The show we created with them is very successful. We repeated our association with them to create a humanoid of former President of India, Dr Abdul Kalam in one of the museums. The most important part to keep the shows running flawlessly is the after sales support. The Engineered Arts team is always there at a moment's notice. We look forward to continuing our association with them in India and Southeast Asia."

Grandparents and toddlers singing, laughing and creating memories together

Our RoboThespian has been greeting visitors at the entrance to Carnegie Science Center’s “RoboWorld™” for over a decade, introducing the gallery, explaining robot basics, conducting sing-alongs, and cracking bad jokes to hundreds of thousands of guests. Technically, the ease of maintenance and the responsivity of the Engineered Arts team ensure his ‘down time’ has been minimal; any software glitches (few and far between) or updates can be handled remotely, and the ordering and delivery of occasional replacement parts is swift and efficient. And the interface kiosk for guest use is intuitive and engaging; my offices are right off the RoboWorld gallery, so I have the benefit of seeing a wide demographic of visitors enthralled by his antics. Especially satisfying is seeing multi-generation engagement – grandparents and toddlers signing, laughing and creating memories together. “Andy Roid” (a nod to both our founder Andrew Carnegie and ‘androids’) is a favorite of both staff and guests.
