Feral Robotic Dogs
“Feral Robotic Dogs” or “Feral Robotics ” is an experimental robotics project by Natalie Jeremijenko in which low cost robots are hacked and turned into driving vehicles to inspect their surroundings. Released in a pack, they take notice of each other and together explore visible and invisble parts of their surroundings: Webcams on their behinds document visual information about the environment, sensors measure chemical pollution and radiation. “Participants can watch and try to make sense of this data without the technical or scientific training required to be comfortable interpreting a EPA document on the same material” (comment: EPA is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency).
