Petting Zoo with cute fluffly robot pets

Created using ChatSlide

The Mechanical Pet Zoo at ZKM Karlsruhe explores human-robot interactions through themes of empathy, perception, and anthropomorphism. Merging advanced robotics with artistic and cultural elements, the initiative examines consciousness, ethics, and the integration of technology in art. With engaging storytelling, lifelike robot features, and public participation, the project aims to inspire reflection on human-technology relations while promoting accessibility and imaginative exploration.
