Petting Zoo

An experimental architecture and design studio called Minimaforms created a life-like robotic petting zoo at the FRAC Centre in France. The “creatures” are artificially intelligent and can learn behaviors based on their interactions with participants, eventually forming unique personalities. The pets interact and exhibit emotional relationships through movement, sound, and illumination. This is a very interesting experiment exploring how humans might interact and communicate with their environments in the future.
