»Artistic Interpreter« turns a hand gesture into a drawing. Visitors draw freely in the air with their finger, the movement is tracked in real time and translated directly into the motion of a UR5 robot arm, which puts the line on paper. The robot becomes a drawing hand that is guided but never fully controlled.

The installation was developed by students of the Bachelor programme Interactive Media at Technische Hochschule Augsburg. It shows how know-how from the KI-Produktionsnetzwerk Augsburg finds its way into teaching projects, and how these projects in turn feed new impulses back into ongoing research.

For one evening the city center became a lecture hall, experimental field and knowledge platform: thousands of visitors got a taste of university life in the heart of the city of Augsburg during the Long Night of Science.
