'pendulus'

Translating innovation into perceptual experiences is the theme for Sony Design's creation of this interactive robotic pendulum. The independence and free-will of robotics is portrayed by its random movements.
Human presence can be detected and recognition appears from within the kinetic motion.
Exhibiting a rich, dynamic and autonomous behavior, 'pendulus' engages by seeking an emotional and physical response. This conceptual piece endeavours to portray emotion and sensitivity,
illustrating the enriched relationship possibilities for a new tomorrow.
