Combining mobile robotics and projection mapping, Phyxelbots explores the future of playful learning environments. Merging digital spaces of information, with physical spatial interaction, a community of kinetic interactive objects perform in response to human gesture and can also organise into pre-coded configurations. Experiments in the Lab have explored their potential applications as teaching aids, narrating stories, participating in group educational games (such as colour mixing seen in the film), and serving as personal companion devices for children.

The project was developed by Menglin Wang and Somya Chaturvedi as a part of their Masters in Architecture B-Pro programme at The Bartlett School of Architecture.
