# Responsive Robotic Hand Installations Madeline Gannon Explores the Robot-Human Relationship By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-12-05 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robothuman-relationship References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2018/12/05/madeline-gannon-manus-robots-group/) & [atonaton](https://atonaton.com/manus) As the technological age progresses at incredible speed, the robot-human relationship now and in the future is becoming a pressing question. While some believe that there will be an inevitable tension between robotic and human intellects, others — like Madeline Gannon, for example, hold the view that the two entities can come to live together in balance. Titled 'Manus,' the creative arranges a series of standard ABB IRB1200 -5/0.9 [industrial robot arms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/university-of-edinburgh) that are controlled by one central 'brain.' The piece is responsive as individuals walk by. The actions of the robotic units are described to be that of a "pack [of] animals." Gannon — who is the co-head of studio Atonaton, believes that the robot-human relationship can evolve and the two can "connect [...] in meaningful ways." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Robot-human Relationship:** Creating meaningful connections between robots and humans for a balanced coexistence. - **Responsive Installations:** Creating interactive installations that respond to human presence for enhanced user experience. - **Pack Behavior Robotics:** Developing robotic systems that mimic the behavior of animals working together collaboratively. ### Where This Applies - **Industrial Robotics:** Exploring the integration of responsive and collaborative robotic systems in industrial settings. - **Art and Design:** Applying responsive installations to artistic and design contexts for innovative and immersive experiences. - **Technology and Innovation:** Advancing the field of robotics to create disruptive technologies that foster meaningful connections between humans and machines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reversible Robotic Hands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reversible-robotic-hand.md) - [Robotic Digital Surveillance Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accept-all.md) - [Humanoid Robot Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-humanoid.md) - [Remote-Controlled Humanoid Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mimi-humanoid-robot.md) - [Thought-Provoking Interactive Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antibodies-installation.md) - [Next-Gen Humanoid Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-optimus-gen-2.md) - [Dexterous Robotics Hands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharpawave.md) - [General-Purpose Humanoid Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/figure-03.md) - [Interactive Companion Care-Bots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourier-g3.md)
