“Robot Tiles” is an artwork by Professor Hiroo Iwata from the University of Tsukuba. The tiles utilize Kuralon EC, a conductive textile developed by Kuraray. Professor Iwata has used Kuralon EC as a carpet-type sensor that communicates the position where a person has trodden. With Robot Tiles, people’s locations do not change even when they are walking. Robot Tiles have wheels that can move back and forth and side to side, with motors and computers to control them. The position of each tile is detected by infrared sensors installed on the floor. Based on this information, the host computer gives instructions to each Robot Tile. In this demo, the tiles are programmed to move straight ahead and at 45 degrees. By changing the program, it is possible to move in any direction throughout 360 degrees. http://mobile123-mobile.blogspot.com/
