Special Act
Robot Show
How human creativity and artificial intelligence complement each other
The question is not “man or machine”, only teaming up with robots and artificial intelligence will lead to success in the ongoing digitalization process.

A lot has happened in German companies since I started specializing my show on the topic of digitalization over 10 years ago. The initial backward step in international comparison has been made up for and digitalization is a central topic everywhere.
Then came the “next big thing”: artificial intelligence!
Since AI cannot be represented visually and always needs a “body”, I decided to use a robot in my show. In the future, we will live and work with machines both privately and professionally as a matter of course.
Intelligent machines are tools too – why I decided against a “humanoid robot”.
Although the Berlin University of Applied Sciences, where I studied until 2008, now offers the “Humanoid Robotics” course, I don’t believe in the future of robots in this form. The goal can only be to integrate intelligent technology into our everyday lives as unobtrusively as possible. As long as we have to pay attention to machines, they are not yet fully developed. Who wants robots that are like humans? Then we would have an annoyed car, an enamored coffee machine and a digital assistant with eyes. That’s creepy and even dangerous if you put too much trust in them.
Info: The robot show lasts approx. 8 minutes and can be supplemented with the regular program for up to 30 minutes. A surcharge will be made due to the extra effort involved. Sufficient space on stage is required. Transportation can only be provided by car and is therefore dependent on the tour schedule.
Development
From the trade fair to the trade audience
As my robot show is aimed at a specialist audience, I didn’t take my inspiration from science fiction, but went to the Hannover Messe, one of the largest exhibitions of robots for industry. The “Cobotta” from
The original inspiration to create magic with a robot in my show came during a trip on a cruise ship. There, two robots mixed cocktails fully automatically, which you could configure beforehand on a touch screen. This combination of technology, precision and entertainment fascinated me so much that I came up with the idea of my own robot show. The same shipping company uses huge monitors in its theaters as a variable stage set, which are also whirled through the air by robots and thus become part of an impressive robot show. The movements are so perfectly choreographed that even machines can have an aesthetic effect if they are staged correctly. On such journeys, you can feel how strongly technology can trigger emotions when it is used creatively. As is so often the case, such ships are ahead of their time and a perfect source of inspiration for new forms of entertainment, which also provide my own robot show with new impetus time and again. Every robot show thrives on this very special combination of function and aesthetics.
