Pier 9 artist-in-residence Madeline Gannon demonstrates her gesture-based software, Quipt, in this captivating short from filmmaker Charlie Nordstrom. Quipt opens up the possibility of safe interaction with industrial robots. Using a wearable device and motion-capture system, Gannon shows how collaboration between humans and automation in a shared space is possible.

The Short Film Showcase spotlights exceptional short videos created by filmmakers from around the web and selected by National Geographic editors. We look for work that affirms National Geographic's belief in the power of science, exploration, and storytelling to change the world. The filmmakers created the content presented, and the opinions expressed are their own, not those of National Geographic Partners.
