About Germination Installazzjoni Artistika
Ġerminazzjoni hija installazzjoni artistika immersiva li tgħaqqad flimkien driegħ robotiku industrijali, dawl u pjanti. Id-driegħ robotiku huwa koreografat bħala rimja li tiġġermina mill-art wara perjodu ta' dormanza. Strixxi tal-LED jifformaw l-għeruq u jipprovdu dawl li jidher bħala nutriment. Ballun tad-dawl huwa mmuntat fuq nett tad-driegħ u huwa kkontrollat bħallikieku ħaj. Il-projection mapping hija applikata fuq il-palk, li huwa magħmul minn artifatti u elementi naturali. Ix-xow ta' tliet minuti jispiċċa hekk kif raġġi tax-xemx jiddu minn ġos-sħab u r-rimja tinfetaħ fjura.

- Unique Properties
- Germination is an immersive installation which features an industrial robot arm and lighting and plants.
A robot arm is choreographed as a sprout which germinates from the ground after a period of dormancy.
At the beginning of the show, it absorbs nourishment from its LED roots and gradually starts to germinate. And after raining and thundering, it sways in the wind. Rays of sunlight shines from clouds and eventually it will bloom. - Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 3m x Depth 3m x Height 2m

- Production Technology
- Many processes were taken to realize this installation.
To send a command to control an industrial robot arm remotely, a communication system was developed. The robot arm’s maximum payload was 10kg but moment had to be taken care of.
And an attachment equipment was needed specifically for this robot arm. Wing Robotics, a startup company helped the project to solve these problems and eventually a show control system was developed that everyone can easily use. - Design Challenge

Fanuc - Inspiration
- This installation was created with a wish that it is going back to a normal and peaceful world soon and people germinate from constraint and eventually bloom again.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2021 in Tokyo, and was exhibited in Go Tech, Tokyo in March 2022.
- Operation Flow
- The show was run by a control system which has a straight forward UI. It can start a robot arm, sound, LED lighting simultaneously. Also it is possible to simulate how everything works on a preview window. The show is 3 minutes long but it can be operated by one person to click a button to start it.
