FallBot

FallBot is an ongoing exploration in the generation of feelings of empathy: when a caretaker of FallBot walks into the room, the robot dances emphatically, and ultimately falls over, and can only be righted with user assistance. Generation One, left, failed to fall, even after exuberant dancing; Generation Two, below, falls at the slightest generation of movement. Generation Three, currently in progress, plans to split the difference between these models.
