Description: Marco Tempest uses charming stagecraft to demo EDI, the multi-purpose robot designed to work very closely with humans. Less a magic trick than an intricately choreographed performance, Tempest shows off the robot’s sensing technology, safety features and strength, and makes the case for a closer human-robot relationship. (Okay, there’s a little magic, too.)

Victorian illusion and modern technology converge in EDI, revealing the evolution from mechanical marvels to sentient robots.

The emergence of robots like EDI, equipped with advanced sensing and safety features, ushers in a new era of human-robot interaction.

By blurring the lines between illusion and reality, EDI sparks a dialogue on the ethical integration of robots into human spaces.
