Notes

1.Nocks, The Robot.

2.This aspect of the research is elaborated in Threatt et al., ‘Vision of the Patient Room’.

3.Norman, ‘Next UI Breakthrough’.

4.Negroponte, Soft Architecture Machines, pp. 127–8.

5.McCullough, Digital Ground, p. xx.

6.These five phases of research are further elaborated in Threatt et al., ‘Assistive Robotic Table’.

7.Illich, Tools for Conviviality, xii.

8.Ibid. p. 24.

9.Ibid. p. 34.

10.Ibid. p. 29.

11.The term ‘robot’ was coined in K. Čapek’s 1920 play, R. U. R. (‘Rossum’s Universal Robots’).

12.Illich, Tools for Conviviality, p. 10.

13.Ibid. p. 21.

14.Ibid. p. 11.

15.Merino et al., ‘Forward Kinematic Model’. In this section, I’m also indebted to Jessica Merino for her MS thesis work in our lab. Merrino, Continuum Robotic Surface.

16.Deleuze and Guattari, Nomadology. (Nomadology is the English translation of a chapter from A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia.)

17.Ibid. pp. 88, 51, 22, 45, 30 and 63 (the last, with italics by Deleuze and Guattari).

18.Ibid. p. 18.

19.Ibid. p. 48.

20.Ibid. pp. 50, 45, 22.

21.Ibid. p. 62.

22.Ibid. p. 96.

23.Castells introduced the concept of ‘space of flows’ in his The Informational City. With respect to the consideration of this book, see also Castells, Rise of the Network Society.

24.Mallgrave, Architect’s Brain, p. 149.

25.Elaborating this theory is a canonic book for the discipline of architecture, Venturi, Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture. Ignasi de Solá-Morales and his concept of a ‘Weak Architecture’ is arguably a better reflection of vortical thinking than Venturi’s dialectical both/and (see Solá-Morales, ‘Weak Architecture’).

26.Brooks, ‘I, Rodney Brooks, Am a Robot’, p. 73. In this instance again, there is a marvelous analogue in architectural thinking found in Rykwert, ‘Organic and Mechanical’. Here Joseph Rykwert traces the co-mingling of the terms ‘organic’ and ‘mechanical’ in architectural thought, beginning with Vitruvius’s treatise (where ‘the Latin oganicus did not mean anything very different from machinicus’), to Gottfried Semper, Owen Jones and John Ruskin (all of whom cultivated ‘ideas about a new way of imitating nature, or relating the organism to the built form’) (pp. 13 and 17). In the conclusion of his paper, Rykwert laments that while architects have long been preoccupied with nature as inspiration for decoration and form, there is not yet a ‘theory of architecture based on a direct appeal to . . . the nature that biology and chemistry study’ (p. 18). Perhaps some aspects of this chapter represent small steps in the direction that Rykwert had anticipated.

27.Brooks, ‘I, Rodney Brooks, Am a Robot’, pp. 73–4.

28.Deleuze and Guattari, ‘Concrete Rules and Abstract Machines’.

29.Horváth, ‘What the Design Theory of Social-Cyber-Physical Systems Must Describe, Explain and Predict?’, p. 116.

30.Kominars, ‘Interoperability Case Study’.

31.Illich, Tools for Conviviality, p. 20.
