This presentation is used to support the 'How to make a robot that moves differently depending on how close you are' activity developed for FACT's 2016 SLICE project 'Robots Have taken over our school.'It features stimulus images showing how distance sensors are used to display emotion in art and how animals behave differently depending if other animals are close or far away. It was created by artist Neil Winterburn & teachers in schools in St.Helens as part of FACT's SLICE project. FACT is the Liverpool based foundation for art and creative technology. SLICE is the specialist leaders in cultural education program initiated by Curious Minds to support arts organisations to improve their educational offer to schools.
