Amena Ireland researches and designs robots, using this medium to explore the intersection between autonomous systems and human interaction. Her practice combines coding, hardware and digital visualisation to examine how robotic behaviours can model and illuminate social dynamics. The projects she develops translate complex robotics principles into accessible participatory experiences.
Her current focus includes research on swarm robotics, emergent behaviour and HMI, using creative coding and physical hardware to explore the visual and practical aspects behind these processes and help people to understand these systems.
