LKL's George Roussos, along with Giles Lane and Natalie Jeremijenko, will present and demonstrate the results of the Robotic Feral Public Authoring research project at the Takeaway Festival.

The project combines hobbyist robotics, environmental sensing and public authoring. Building upon the existing Feral Robots (hacked toy robots with environmental sensors) and Urban Tapestries projects (knowledge mapping and sharing), the project investigates new community-based interventions for pollution mapping related to local knowledge and context.
