Simple Machines

Simple Machines Simple Machines tells the story of a choreographer who tries to be replaced by technology. Using the simplest machines, Ugo explains how robots are born and how we can train them with artificial intelligence. He builds a universe populated by mechanical organisms that train and learn to become artists themselves. A ballet for self-made robot dancers emerges and begins to unfold without the intervention of a human choreographer. And at the end, the audience is invited to interact with the 8 robots and help them become better dancers.
