- Robotic Programming for Kung Fu to safeguard Intangible Cultural Heritage
Robotic technology is one of the most innovative and creative tools for inspiration nowadays. To bring together robotic technology with Chinese martial arts (Kung Fu), the MakerMindset@i-Space Programme introduces a new Kung Fu robot in the Digital Makerspace (i-Space) for students to try out robotic programming. Two identical workshops will be offered to introduce the concept of digital transformation in different applications, especially in safeguarding the intangible cultural heritage and performing arts. Participants will have an opportunity to program a Kung Fu Robot with a step-by-step tutorial.
