Expressive interaction design is the missing layer in robotics. The future isn’t just functional robots - it’s robots that feel natural to use and are designed from the ground up for expressive human-robot interaction.

We will continue iterating Le Lamp to make it expressive and useful in the upcoming weeks.

sorry to be that person in the comments, but is there any video of how exactly it is expressive? the photo of the messy table doesn't really conveys the idea or explains how exactly this lamp on the robotic arm behaves.

The Apple lab has a video demonstrating the difference between expressive and functional:

I think this is the goal of LeLamp.
