Girltron

Kirsty drew upon her extensive knowledge of Karakuri Ningyo (Japanese mechanical doll making) to develop 'girltron,' a girl robot with a mechanical performance-based AI system. Girltron highlights the importance of fusing science with broader cultural and social concerns and recognises the role tradition plays in contemporary technology. Kirsty’s chief collaborator for the project is AI specialist, Dr Lijin Aryananda.
