In March 2025, I photographed Dr. Catie Cuan, a rare kind of technologist—one who does not merely study movement but inhabits it, shaping our understanding of both human and robotic motion in ways that feel at once inevitable and revolutionary. To witness her at work is to see someone in deep conversation with machines, coaxing out a language of movement that is not just efficient but expressive, not just technical but emotional.
A trained dancer and mechanical engineer, Cuan is a pioneer in ‘choreorobotics,’ a field that merges artificial intelligence, human-robot interaction, and art. Her career has been a dance in itself, moving fluidly between performance, research, and entrepreneurship, all in pursuit of a singular question: how can robots move in a way that feels alive?
Cuan holds a PhD and a Master’s of Science in robotics and AI from Stanford, where she is also a postdoctoral researcher leading the art and robotics efforts at the new Stanford Robotics Center. Her dissertation, “Compelling Robot Behaviors through Supervised Learning and Choreorobotics,” explores how machine learning can teach robots to move in ways that evoke presence—where motion itself carries meaning. During her doctoral research, funded by the National Institutes of Health, Google, and Stanford University, she led the first multi-robot machine learning project at Everyday Robots (Google X) and Robotics at Google, now part of Google DeepMind.
But Cuan is not content to leave her work in the realm of academia. She has spent years choreographing robots, treating them not as rigid automatons but as performers capable of communicating through motion. She has held residencies at the Smithsonian, the Exploratorium, Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, TED, Everyday Robots (Google X), the RAD Lab, and ThoughtWorks Arts, working with nearly a dozen different robotic platforms—from the industrial ABB IRB 6700 to small, interactive tabletop machines. Her performances reimagine robots not as servants or tools, but as collaborators, capable of moving with grace, intention, and even artistry.
Cuan’s vision is as much about rethinking robotics as it is about rethinking humanity’s relationship to machines. Her work suggests that the way a robot moves can influence the way we feel about it—that movement is not just a function of engineering but of psychology, of storytelling, of something deeply embedded in how we perceive life itself. In healthcare, she envisions robots that move with a bedside manner, adjusting their motion to put patients at ease. In entertainment, she imagines robots that can dance, that can anticipate and respond to human motion as a partner rather than an operator. Her work, at its core, is about breaking down the binary between the organic and the artificial.
Photographing Cuan, I saw someone who carries these ideas not just in her mind but in her body. Her own movements are precise yet fluid, deliberate yet spontaneous, as though she is always attuned to the forces of motion around her. In that moment, it was clear: she is not just designing how robots move—she is teaching them how to be seen, how to be understood, how to exist in a world that has, until now, only made space for the living.
So...I've had several flicker friends asking me what a Cytotechnologist is. We've always been misunderstood--people think we are "psycho-technologists" and are in the psychology field! Not quite--although I guess we are a bit crazy to have picked a career where we have to sit for 8 hr/day peering through a microscope looking at cells...
In a nutshell... we screen specimens looking for abnormalities in the cells to determine if they are cancerous or show signs of pre-cancerous changes. It's kind've like looking for a needle in a hay stack! Many of our specimens are Pap Smears, although we get specimens and aspirations from all over the body to screen. "you scrape 'em, we'll screen 'em"
Best viewed on Large size if you're really interested :)
Hey Beth add any more stuff that I forgot to add! (She's my fellow co- worker). She also has some great cytology photos on her page.

Project Description:
Rob King’s Trillium Icosaflorum explores the symbolic presence of Ontario Place’s Cinesphere. Inspired by Buckminster Fuller’s Biosphere design at Montreal’s Expo 67, the Cinesphere is often mistaken for a geodesic dome (in fact, it is a triodectic dome, a related but different structure). King’s outdoor sculpture examines the techno-utopianism and mathematical purity the geodesic dome has come to signify, using interlocking angular forms to build a sculpture inspired by the Cinesphere’s unique form and geometrical playfulness. A compelling monumental form marked by elegant symmetry,Trillium Icosaflorum questions the origins of commonly-accepted ideas about beauty, exactitude, innovation and futurism.

This is week is National Radiologic Technologist week.... and happens to be my job. I work in a busy Emergency Level One Trauma hospital creating diagnostic images all day by using X-rays. Just like photography X-ray imaging has many factors that contribute to creating an image. I love my job, its crazy never knowing what will come rushing through the doors by car, ambulance, or helicopter at any second. So this one is a tribute to all in the profession RT (R).
My first photo using laser as well....a new branch of light painting for me.... All the cool kids here on flickr are doing some nifty stuff with lasers so wanted to try my hand and jump in the game....ha... props to the laser lightpaintng pals out there for the amazing images....had to give it a whirl..... Nothing to elaborate or complex here had to get a feel for it, but kept with the theme of the week in my profession....and in this case i think keeping it minimalist worked well. Done in one single long exposure. Square crop. Full frame looked cool but this works better. Looking forward to some outdoor work once decent weather decides to come back... once these days of rain pass.

SH-RP4
(ruggedized modified power droid)
Custom built from a heavily modified Industrial Automation EG series chassis and incorporating the processing unit of an R-series astromech, SH-RP4 and its sister units were co-designed by archaeologists and technologists at the Shadow University. They were engineered for use in investigations of remote areas where traditional power droids might be unable to navigate. By incorporating the analytical and communication capacity of an astromech, the SH-RP4 also offered archaeologists with data storage, retrieval, uplink, and analysis functions.
Of 12 such units built in the Shadow University’s technology recovery lab, SH-RP4 was one of the only droids that had a personality chip which seemed to harmonize within the new form and capabilities. Colloquially, it was “happy” in this new body. Affable and easy to work with, SH-RP4 was the most often requested companion droid by investigating archaeologists with enough clout to burn on their requisition forms - or credits to bribe the mechanics in the garage.
Some of the post-doc fellows and archaeology interns took to lovingly calling this unit "Sherpa" as she worked both as a skilled guide and strong-backed companion.

So, this is my first try at a custom Star Wars model and I'm quite pleased with the results. I pulled this together for The Smuggler's Room YouTube channel's challenge. With a combination of crayon storage boxes, salvaged toy parts, and a 3D printed head, this little kitbash droid has been a joy to pull together.
