A Seasonal Robotics Spectacle
Two robotic arms are programmed to decorate a Christmas tree located between them. Each arm decorates its designated side, from bottom to top. Two LED strips in front of the robotic setup change colour according to the decoration status (blue when ready to start decorating, green during the decoration and red in case of an emergency). A bit further ahead, a safe distance away from the robotic arms, two sensors are disguised as Christmas gifts, waiting to spread the Christmas spirit when activated!
How It Works
🎁 Supporting a Good Cause
After purchasing an ornament for €5, contributing to the earthquake relief efforts in Arkalochori, the participant approaches the setup and hands the ornament to the robotic arm operator, who places it in a predefined position.
🎄 Activating the Decoration Process
Once the LED strip turns green, signaling the system is ready, the participant waves their hand over the sensor/gift, triggering the decoration process.
✨ Precision Ornament Placement
The robotic arm picks up the ornament from the designated spot, randomly selects a spot on a branch, and carefully places the ornament before moving away.
🎶 A Christmas party spirit
Since we love a good spectacle, at the end of the decoration process, the robotic arm sways to the rhythm of a song only it can hear, while the LED strips change colors, illuminating the setup in a festive glow.
