Director of CHARISMA Lab, Heather Knight is a robotics researcher working in embodied AI and expressive robotics. Her work examines how robots communicate, learn, and signal intent through movement and physical interaction, often drawing from performance, affect, and non-anthropomorphic design approaches.

Professor of Digital Art, Visual Arts Department, Union College (USA). New media artist working at the intersection of robotics, AI, and interactive installation. His work explores machine expressivity, techno-spirituality, and human–robot narratives through kinetic sculptures and robotic performance.

Fashion pioneer blending future materials with current design house collaborations. herwork explores innovative textiles, such as 3D printing, and fabricated or even robotic materials—bringing methods from performance, design, and physical making into the study of intelligent, expressive fashion objects.
