Through the Wearable Robot Body Extension and a series of playful, theatre-inspired exercises, it establishes an embodied co-creation approach that lowers technical barriers and enables more intuitive, relatable, and experiential forms of human–robot interaction. Final work View Gallery View Gallery View Gallery From Embodied Experience to Robot Personality Three personality-based robotic prototypes were created from the first-person experiences and third-person observations gathered during the workshop. These responses showed how each embodied form’s weight distribution and available movement range shaped the personality qualities people associated with it. From Movement Performance to Robot Emotion By observing how people expressed emotions through movement, we noticed recurring patterns—arousal appeared in movement speed, valence in how open or closed the posture was, and familiar gestures also shaped interpretation. These insights were then translated into the robot’s emotional movements.
