Teatronika

Project initiated by Martí Sánchez-Fibla (researcher in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics at Pompeu Fabra University) with the aim of making 5 NAO robots (which until then had only played football) available to everyone to interpret theatre scripts written by the participants of the Teatronika Competition, of which 4 editions have been held, with a total of approximately 400 scripts received. Each edition of the competition is accompanied by the publication of a book with the winning scripts and a series of essays; and theatrical production in which we also include the results of our experimentation in new fields, such as the live generation of text with neural networks.

In 2018 Teatronika is constituted as a scientific and cultural dissemination association with Beatriz Liebe, Gerald Kogler, and Marti Sanchez-Fibla. In 2021 it is the recipient of the City of Barcelona Awards grant to develop a methodology in the field of STEAM education, in which performing arts, robotics, and AI intersect.
