 Robot Rickshaw began as a cart full of musical robots designed, built, and operated by their human creator, Troy Rogers. The ensemble has evolved to include wearable electronic elements transforming their human host into a futuristic persona, through the incorporation of sensors, actuators, and voice modulation technologies.

 For the 2024-25 season, Robot Rickshaw descends to earth in the form of an alien from another planet with a special message for children of the world. The entertaining, educational, and memorable performance features a suite of experimental love songs "for the robotic remnants of other failed planets" performed by an otherworldly ensemble of robotic instruments.
