Reflective Robotics, a pedagogical approach that integrates Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) into design education, bridging robotics, artistic interpretations of technology, and somaesthetics.
TAIKABOX
Choreographer Tanja Råman and video artist John Collingswood, founders of TaikaBox, lead an association dedicated to creating new ways to experience dance and were instrumental in developing the EUDanceHack.

Réka Gerlits, the general manager and production manager of CEDT, connects students with the Dance Hack methodology, guiding them through cooperative body exercises. She helps them add a message, dynamic, goal, or narrative to their movements, transforming physical expression into meaningful interaction.

our educational approach
As lecturers with expertise in media and product design, we work at the intersection of design culture, contemporary technology and HCI to develop a curriculum that cultivates opportunity-driven innovation. Grounded in Jeff Conklin’s (2005) concept of wicked problems and Donald Schön’s (1983) notion of reflective practice, we recognize that co-design requires adaptive, iterative strategies—dynamic, nonlinear explorations—to address complex, ambiguous challenges. By integrating physical interaction as a core component of learning, we emphasize embodied cognition as a foundational principle in creative robotics education.
