Research and development

At the Antimuseum of Computers, research and development in artificial intelligence and robotics go far beyond traditional experimentation—they are a living dialogue between history and innovation. Drawing on the legacy of early computing, our team explores how machines can evolve from passive tools into responsive, intelligent systems that understand and adapt to the world around them.

Our R&D efforts focus on bridging past and future, reimagining the roots of computing through the lens of modern AI. Whether we’re developing autonomous robotic systems inspired by mechanical computation or training AI models to interact meaningfully with physical artifacts, each project is grounded in both technical precision and conceptual depth. We approach artificial intelligence not only as a field of engineering but as a cultural phenomenon, investigating how machines can reflect, learn from, and contribute to human creativity.

Robotics at the Antimuseum is more than movement—it’s a study in interaction. Our prototypes are designed to explore empathy, memory, and human-machine communication in unconventional ways. We build systems that challenge assumptions about intelligence, learning, and even consciousness, combining rigorous scientific methods with a museum’s curatorial sensibility.

Through exhibitions, live experiments, and collaborative projects, we transform R&D into a shared exploration of what intelligent machines have been—and what they might yet become.

As part of our commitment to responsible innovation, we also explore the ethics and safety of AI development, including speculative but critical questions about control, autonomy, and the so-called «machine uprising.» While often framed in fiction, these concerns touch real technological trajectories. By integrating safety protocols, transparency frameworks, and philosophical inquiry into our research, we aim to ensure that intelligent systems remain aligned with human values—now and in the future.
