Empathy Swarm TELEHABITATS
Connect with the Empathy Swarm robots and have a peak live into the swarm’s habitat at the current »BioMedia« exhibition at ZKM Karlsruhe. See visitors interact with the swarm and interact with them through the swarm.
Follow this link to see the swarm as part of the online version of BioMedia. Here you can also discover other online artworks and be guided through the exhbition by an AI called bMEDIA. Or visit the artwork directly.
The swarm is online every Friday – Sunday, 1 p.m. – 6 p.m. CET / CEST
The online version Telehabitats enables visitors to connect virtually with one of the robots in the physical space from home and thus become part of the swarm. The movement of the cursor across the screen sets the path for the movement and it is possible to rotate the robot as well as to increase and decrease the distance to the rest of the swarm. The swarm reacts to the behavior of the connected robot as well as to visitors entering the habitat in the exhibition space at the ZKM.

BioMedia exhibition at ZKM
We are very proud to announce that our Empathy Swarm is taking part in the »BioMedia« exhibition at ZKM Karlsruhe!
Empathy Swarm just fits in perfectly into »BioMedia – The Age of Media with Life-like Behavior«
Who or what defines on what is alive and what is intelligent? Can artificial forms of life be empathetic? How does cooperation of human beings and artificial agents look like? What ethical questions arise? The exhibition »BioMedia« invites visitors to learn about and discuss possible forms of cohabitation between organic and artificial forms of life.

We developed a new generation of robots for this exhibition with more dynamic movements and 2 days battery life! We are very thankful to our sponsors BTG Elektronik and Eurocircuits for their support!
Thanks also to the Intelligent Musem Residency at ZKM where we worked on the intelligence of our lifeform!
Our swarm is looking forward to your visit!

ZKM’s LIVESTREAM: Developing Empathy Swarm – Reward and Punish
Check out ZKM’s LIVESTREAM on the 4th August at 7 p.m. to learn more about our Intelligent Museum Residency at Hertz-Lab and the development of Empathy Swarm – Reward and Punish – we are creating in our “Mad Scientist Lab” 😉

ZKM – Intelligent Museum Residency
We are glad to be part of ZKM’s Intelligent Museum Project! During our residency this summer at Hertz-Lab, we will develop a Reinforcement Learning Algorithm to enable the audience to collectively teach the swarm new behaviours through Rewarding or Punishing their actions in certain states!
In September we will present the results and devise learning experiments in collaboration with Deutsches Museum in Munich / Nuremberg. Looking forward to exiting next steps for our swarm!!
