Abstract
In this concept paper we trace the contours and define a
new approach to robotic systems, composed of
interactive robotic modules which are somehow worn
on the body. We label such a field as Modular Robotic
Wearable (MRW). We describe how, by using modular
robotics for creating wearable, it is possible to obtain a
flexible wearable processing system, where freely
inter-changeable input/output modules can be
positioned on the body suit in accordance with the task
at hand. We describe the first rough prototypes and
show an artistic application, as well as some drawing
of future works and projects. Finally, by focusing on
the intersection of the combination modular robotic
systems, wearability, and bodymind we attempt to
explore the theoretical characteristics of such approach
and exploit the possible playware application fields.
