Engineered Arts

Keep it simple, that’s the motto of Engineered Arts, a creative company specialising in imaginative, interactive design and content.

Will Jackson  set up Engineered Arts in Penryn, Cornwall in 2004,  combining  art and engineering to extraordinary effect,  Starting out by creating interactive displays for prestigious clients such as Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Science Museum and Cornwall’s Eden Project, Will decided to focus his business on  developing a unique product, RoboThespian, a robot actor.

The simplification has put the business on a solid footing. In the six years since he started developing RoboThespian, Will has seen worldwide demand for his interactive robots and has quadrupled production. The company recently created ‘Jack’ the RoboThespian for the Macau Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo to greet visitors in four different languages as they walked through the exhibition

RoboThespian is a web connected device. You can see what RoboThespian sees, make him move and tell him what to say from anywhere in the world with a net connection. Clients range from NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre through to Questacon, The National Science and Technology Centre in Australia.
