Falkor Systems
“Pet Drone Pas de Deux” is a collaborative dance piece that gives people the ability to imagine what the world might be like when we all have a flying robot pet—in this case, one that tracks, follows, and films you.
In the future, humanity will develop strong relationships with their robots, relationships that could expand towards feelings beyond just collaborative friendship, approaching even love. The Falkor “Pet Drone Pas de Deux” piece asks, “When we love our robots, will it matter if they are human or not?” The conceptual demonstration uses open source computer vision technology and a common off-the-shelf toy UAV platform to fly and autonomously interact with its partner.
