The goal of this 2019 project was assemble the resources from the past 17 years of the Olin Conductorless Orchestra (OCO) in one place such that it can be easily accessed and used by other groups to begin or enhance their own conductorless orchestra.

The final project for this class was open-ended, and my group decided to create a robot that responds to light and sound stimuli. We began modeling the behavior around the emotion of shyness and the physical design of the bot on the mimosa pudica also called the shameplant.

The final product manifested as a potted plant on wheels that used a small array of light and sound sensors to detect and move away from sharp, loud noises and measure and move towards bright light.
