What does an acrobat do without a flyer? The people I like to train with are often on the other side of the world, injured, or otherwise unavailable to be thrown in the air by me. So I replaced them with a robot.

AcRobotics was co-produced by V2_ Lab for Unstable Media as part of the Summer Sessions 2022. I designed, programmed and performed this work myself, and learnt a lot about engineering in the process.

I am assisted in my performances by Mila Baumann

AcRobotics was featured at Hackaday and the Hackaday Podcast.

Currently I am developing a newer version of this act. Get in touch if you’re interested in hosting or supporting it!
