New project on prototyping physical devices with AI

CXL has received funding from the EPSRC pro2 network+ for the project Conversational Prototyping:  Leveraging generative AI to support iterative device production and testing, led by Professor Lars Erik Holmquist. The one-year, £100K project will develop a new way to prototype interactive devices using Large Language Models. We will develop a system where users enter into a dialogue with the prototype to define and refine its functionality. 


The project collaborators are Datalink Electronics in Loughborough, which specialises in high-technology product design, development and manufacturing; Electric Circus, an art robot company in Amsterdam that is pioneering in the field of street-theater; and Poppe & Partners in Amsterdam, who specialise in the combination of culture and technology.
