Abstract
The development of convincing androids is currently constraint by the limitations of artificial intelligence. Instead of developing even more realistic human-like robots we attempt to push the opposite design direction to its extreme. We developed a most minimalistic robot that can still maintain an interesting interaction with users.It consists only of two animated slippers on a box. We exhibited this design exploration at in front of a museum and the responses very highly encouraging. With only a minimal set of clues we were able to create an anthropomorphic illusion.
