Kinect enabled human-robot workspace collaboration.

LumiBots are small, autonomous robots that can leave glowing traces. The robots are equipped with a UV LED at their tail which leaves a glowing trail on phosphorescent sheet. The traces do not only create generative images which tell the story of the robots’ movements, but have a deeper meaning for the lumiBots: With their light sensors, they can follow the other robots’ as well as their own trails, and amplify them, thus creating an ant-trail-like mechanism luring more and more robots on the same path.

MoleBot — a mole robot trapped in a Table. The games are nuts.
“MoleBot is a mole robot built under a transformable game-board inspired table that allows people to enjoy playful interactions with everyday objects and props, and experience what it feels like to have a mole live under your table. It will be exhibited at SIGGRAPH 2011 Emerging Technologies from August 7 to 11 in Vancouver, Canada.”
