Visiting Universities of Sydney and New South Wales faculty and guest curators Lian Loke, Dagmar Reinhardt and Deborah Turnbull Tillman will kick off the SHErobots Cafés series by elucidating some of the creative research behind the SHErobots: Ecologies of Care exhibition.
During the presentation of "Robot Seedling", Dagmar Reinhardt (Usyd) and Charlotte Firth (ArchManu) in collaboration with TU Delft researchers Henriette Bier, Micah Prendergast, and Arwin Hidding will continue to unpack some of the exhibition’s themes related to using robotics as a catalyst to innovate a future that deeply cares for humankind, partner plant species and our finite environment.

Dagmar Reinhardt is a practising architect, researcher and educator. Reinhardt leads the robotics research group as an Associate Professor at the School of Architecture, Design and Planning, The University of Sydney. Reinhardt’s research focuses on human-centric design at the nexus of acoustics, robotics and accessibility, with recent research projects exploring the range of human-robotic collaboration.
