Social Media Responsive Robot Week 5 and 6


For week 5 we tried creating some more different prototypes for the environment, but they were not successful, so for week 6 we plan to develop the pop up and cut out environments from week 4 further.

We were successful in connecting the robot’s behaviour to the sentiment of tweets, to display positive, neutral and negative behaviour. For week 6 we plan to link the robot’s behaviour to levels of positivity and levels of negativity. Below is a demonstration of the robot responding to tweets.

Week 6 Aims:

-Design positive, neutral and negative scenes for the environment

-Program levels of robot’s behaviour linked to the levels of sentiment

-Program a GIF generator and make sure the digital system all works

 

We were able to create the basic system of receiving tweets, analysing the sentiment of the tweets, linking it to the robot’s behaviour, recording a GIF automatically, and then tweeting the GIF back to the tweeter. All of the twitter code is done in javascript, the robot’s behaviour is in Arduino, and the GIF generator is done in processing, and triggered through terminal by the javascript code. On the day of the project faire, the system worked quite smoothly, except that we ran into an issue of certain twitter accounts being classified as null in our code, and the gif generator not running. This will be an issue to solve going forward.

For the environment, we created a background with cardboard and paper, with two states – positive and negative. We were not able to finish all the mechanics of it in time for the project faire, but below are some videos that show what we want to achieve.

Feedback from project faire:

  • Environment:
    • Research into colour theory. Add lights (Sarah Rubidge)
    • Psychology of colour & saturation and intensity of colour rather than the hue. Interaction of Colour(Marina Castan)
    • Think about if certain materials express different emotions.(George)
  • Robot physical behaviour:
    • Make more use of the eye movement. Eyes are the most expressive, and provide psychological insight. (Sarah Rubidge)
    • Try experimenting with linking the robot’s points of movement with own movement and see if more natural behaviour linked to different moods can start emerging.  Or create different versions of Hex that display variations of certain moods and then have people vote to see which kinds of behaviours people respond to the most. (Chris Leung)
  • Sentiment Analysis:
    • Look into using neural networks. Word vectors (George)
  • Other feedback:
    • Create better social media presence for the hex (Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino)
    • Look into Punch Drunk’s children in tech event. (Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino)
    • What if Hex is the third party in a conversation. Comments on the conversations between two other twitter accounts instead of one to one conversation. (Luca Dellatorre)

Wood Urbanism

Wood Urbanism: From the Molecular to the Territorial Daniel Ibañez, Jane Hutton, Kiel Moe (Editors) Actar Publishers , November 2019 Hardcover | 8 x 10-1/4 inches | 488 pages | English | ISBN: 978-1945150814 | $54.95 PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION : Wood holds unique and timely lessons for urbanization, yet it remains inadequately characterized in architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism. From under-considered thermal properties to emerging manufacturing possibilities, from changing forestry regimes to larger carbon cycle dynamics, Wood Urbanism explores the unique material and scalar properties of wood, presenting it as a critical material for design today. It brings into conversation scholars and practitioners who focus on wood from a range of perspectives: from the working forest to the mid-rise building to the basic cell. Drawing from the inherent intelligence and depth of multiple disciplines, this book offers a transcalar perspective on the role of wood in cont

Building a gentrification early warning system with big data

Resim
But what if there were a way to see gentrification long before the coffee shops, condos and Whole Foods appear? What if city planners and neighborhoods had an early warning system that could sniff out the changes just as they begin? [...] neighborhood advocates would have the opportunity to implement policies ranging from reserving affordable housing units to educating residents of their renting rights to helping small businesses negotiate long-term lease extensions. In his NPR piece, astrophysics professor Adam Frank explains how various big data sets, like housing prices, eviction records, census data, or social media usage, can be utilized for "predictive analytics" to detect early onsets of gentrification for specific neighborhoods at an increasingly high resolution — and what significant perils come with it.
