The article ‘Towards Designing Spatial Robots that are Architecturally Motivated’ discusses the integration of robotic technology into the built environment. The authors suggest that spatial robots, or physically moving elements, can influence the spatial dimensions of our built environment. This influence can potentially extend to the behavior, thoughts, or emotional states of occupants. They also highlight the challenges in designing these spatial robots, including how they are perceived by users and experts. The authors argue that future robots should be aware of architectural sensitivities and that this can facilitate more enjoyable and agreeable interactions in spaces.
