"[S]mart interactive robots do not need to look like our mechanical humanoid cousins. Interactive architecture-a burgeoning collaboration across diverse scientific and design communities-has ushered in advancements in manufacturing, behavioral logic, and biologically inspired materials and introduced new ways robotics can enhance our lives. Our spaces and environments-buildings themselves-are becoming the robots, Rosie is becoming the architecture around us, and unprecedented levels of responsiveness and environmental interactivity are becoming a reality."
