The Design
About Germination Instalasyong Sining
Ang Germination ay isang immersive art installation na pinagsasama ang isang industrial robot arm, ilaw, at mga halaman. Ang robot arm ay ikinoreograp bilang isang usbong na tumutubo mula sa lupa matapos ang isang yugto ng pagkakatulog. Ang mga LED strip ay bumubuo ng mga ugat at nagbibigay ng liwanag na nagpapakita bilang sustansya. May nakakabit na bola ng ilaw sa tuktok ng bisig at kinokontrol ito na parang buhay. Inilapat ang projection mapping sa entablado, na binubuo ng mga likha ng tao at natural na elemento. Nagtatapos ang tatlong-minutong palabas habang sumisikat ang mga sinag ng araw mula sa mga ulap at namumulaklak ang usbong.

- 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.
