What defines intelligence when embodied in chat interfaces, mechanical motion, or responsive systems? What happens when artificial minds speak, listen, assist, or navigate the world?
URCA maps the evolving landscape of AI and robotics as they appear in products, services, applications, and synthetic agents. This archive documents how these technologies function, behave, and symbolically enter daily life.
Entries may include chatbots, autonomous robots, mobile apps, voice assistants, smart devices, and AI-enhanced services—each a window into the human-machine dynamic.
These creations are more than tools; they are collaborators, provocateurs, and reflections of collective design.
