Journal
Notes from the studio — process, thinking, and what we've learned on the floor.
The case for slowing a robot down
Speed is the obvious flex. But the most powerful moments we've made — the ones that actually stop an audience — come from a robot that knows how to pause.
What we learned from our first festival mainstage
Taking eight robots to a 15,000-person outdoor festival taught us more about fleet choreography in four days than a year of studio rehearsal.
How we sync twelve robots to a single BPM
Millisecond-level sync across a fleet isn't magic — it's a careful stack of network timing, motion file pre-loading, and a trigger protocol we've spent two years refining.
About the journal
The Tempo Robots journal is where our team writes up what live shows teach us about robotic choreography: how we keep a fleet of robots in sync to a single BPM, why a well-timed pause can land harder than speed, and what a festival mainstage taught us about moving eight robots as one.
