Summary
For this weeks activity we are starting on the literature review chapter of our thesis. This section is broken down into different themes. The themes that I have chosen for my literature review are as follows: LLMS and Prompt Engineering, Robotic Head Control and Robot Philosophy , Artists in Conversation, and Concepts in Art. The first section is going to be about generating conversations and how that process works. The second part is going to be able how robotics can be used to make humanoid heads. The third section will talk about artists in conversation with my work and finally there will be a discussion about the overarching art themes in my work. For now I will focus on the computer science aspects of the literature review so that I can work on the art stuff next semester.
Themes
LLMS and Prompt Engineering
This theme is about the process of prompt engineering and the creation of LLMs. This is an important technical section and can also include how text-to-speech programs work.

Robotic Head Control and Robot Philosophy
This theme is more about the physical mechanics of robotic head control. Such as using motors and types of motors to be looking for as well as materials to use. I will also be discussing the philosophy behid a robot and the ethics of robotic systems.
Artists in Conversation
This theme will include inspirational artists and what is going on currently in the field of technology art. I also will include media that was particularly inspiring for me as well.
