Control and Communication: Experimenting with Cockroach-Piloted Robotics

The video discusses a master's thesis project involving a unique robotic system controlled by a Madagascar hissing cockroach named Sweet Cake. The project, titled 'Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine,' explores the challenges of using a cockroach to pilot a large wheeled vehicle. Despite the cockroach's limitations in controlling the machine, the project highlights the intersection of media art and robotic technology, reflecting Garnett's background and interests.

What is the significance of the cockroach's size in the context of the experiment?

How does Garnett view his background in relation to his work?
