V&A Dundee has unveiled an industrial robot that has been programmed to blow bubbles in the upper hall of the museum.
Soap Opera has been created by Andrea Anner and Thibault Brevet, founders of the non-industrial robot practice AATB, which specialises in transforming industrial robots into playful installations.
The installation consists of a UR10 robotic arm designed to work alongside humans in factories. But instead of an industrial tool, it has been fitted with a wand and circular hoop which dips into a tank of soapy liquid! 'Soap Opera' robot installation cleans up nicely at V&A ...v-amp...'

The arm has been programmed to slowly move into position before speeding up and tracing an arc. Despite each movement being identical, every bubble is different! Cleaning Up the Soap Opera Effect: Motion Interpolation ...cleaning - ...soap - ...motion...Soap operas are often recorded at 60fps because they cannot afford film. Working with a 30fps piece of content, we have already determined that if you show each frame twice, at twice the rate, you will end up with a perfectly reproduced picture at 60fps. Interpolating this 60fps content, you get 120fps.!! Anner said: “It’s mesmerising to watch with each movement performed perfectly but each bubble unique, reacting to tiny changes in the initial conditions.”

The installation consists of a UR10 robotic arm designed to work alongside humans in factories performing tasks that require precision and reliability, such as unloading large items from pallets.
Soap Opera encourages people to look differently at robotics and consider how they can be used to create playful experiences, beyond their industrial origins.
"Instead of a strictly practical repetitive movement, we've programmed an industrial robot to carefully wave a wand in the air over and over again.
Thibault Brevet added: "We want people to be entertained and enjoy watching this fleeting moment and also to consider the interaction between the digital controls of the robot and the organic nature of the bubble which prevents us from knowing what to expect each time."
