Unconventional Social Robotics

A key project I am working on as part of borobo ltd. is the Konpanion brand. Alexandre and I formed borobo to work and develop novel concepts in a cross-domain approach linking interior design and robotics.

The Maah is a non-zoomorphic social robot that tries to move away from classical social robots and humanoid robots to explore basic functions needed for creating a social, engaging and lasting relationship with a robotic artefact. The first robot in that realm is Maah, a low-cost 3D printed companionship robot.

The project focuses on design aspects, AI exploration, unusual body shape and movement, and cleaner, easier-to-maintain internal construction.
