In collaboration with Future Unit, I was brought on to help shape an exploration into the next evolution of Tangible Robotics’ current robotic form. Early discussions focused on understanding the broader landscape of robot design and establishing a clear point of view around what this platform should and should not be. Rather than pursuing a human-styled or anthropomorphic robot, the intent was to reinforce a platform-driven approach that prioritizes capability, adaptability and learning through real-world interaction. Within that framework, refining proportions became a foundational step, paired with a deeper effort to understand the team’s technical constraints, functional needs and the design sensibilities they most strongly resonated with.
