| Combining the forces of different disciplines often leads to surprising results, and this is proven again during the workshop on the robot's playroom. Because innovation always seems to originate from at least two known things, the convergence of different perspectives on the same subject is essential. |

Unfortunately, this is not always the case: the dynamics of reuniting the two creative energies of science and art are not always fully employed. That’s why I am both proud and happy to have been given the opportunity to make my contribution to this dialogue.
My role was to guide, help and sensitise the students in exploring the large potential of rethinking our daily environment from the point of view of a machine. They caught on very well, as if they had being working with robots for many years. This led to an interesting set of personal creations, each showing in its own way that Artificial Intelligence is not necessarily as difficult and inaccessible as it is often perceived by the general public.
The success of the workshop was made possible by the nice atmosphere of cooperation and confidence between the students and us. Frédéric Kaplan had a clear intuition of the potential of such a collaboration. He looked for the necessary creativity and competences where they can be found: in the spirits of young creators, familiar with state of the art design methods and accustomed to think differently about everyday interactions. From the other perspective, the students were stimulated by the way in which Frédéric Kaplan revealed to them the world of artificial intelligence and this opened new perspectives to them. This was a “win-win” association and every participant left the experiment with new ideas, new insights and new dreams.
