Charlotte Nordmoen (a Central Saint Martins’ student) as part of a project called humanMADE, has designed a robotic potter that anticipates a time when human labour is no longer needed. The prototype robot has a ‘human finger’ made from silicone attached to a mechanical arm. The implement is used to shape clay in just the same way a real finger would. The system relies on a design program that uses machine learning and an algorithm to generate its own creations. The software gathers images of vases online and interprets their outlines as basic, common shapes to create a DNA of vases. It then combines features together to create a new vase that mixes contrasting traits from different designs.
