🌟 Dancing with Robots 🤖🩰
What happens when a ballerina meets a robot?
Audiences were captivated by Dr. Merritt Moore — quantum physicist and professional dancer — as she shared her inspiring journey of collaborating with industrial robots.
Through powerful storytelling and behind-the-scenes videos, she reminded us that AI and robotics can be creative partners, not competitors.
Thank you for joining us at the UAE Pavilion!

I'm at #IROS2024, sitting at a Starbucks during a break, working on my thesis, and guess who I run into? @merrittmoore herself!! This is by far the most surprising thing that has happened to me here. She's way prettier in person and sooo sweet! I hope to see her again at my talk!

#BailarinaRobótica logra sus coreografías con música, ballet y robots.
@merrittmoore desarrolló este ritmo durante la pandemia y sus videos son virales. Programó robots para que sean sus compañeros de baile.
