Except the speed of video, everything seems fine for video style.

Clients gave some feedback on last week’s video, but it seems there were no meeting and questions from the team this week to receive more. I was expecting to see more feedbacks and learnings from users.

I can’t understand the idea behind prototype 2. How people create their own designs? If they create their own, which issue is solved by this prototype? I think it is already Smartibot and do you have enough materials and instructions like Smartibot?

Attachment idea sounds good, but we want to see something tested at this stage. There are some possibilities about its usage, but did you created attachments and tested them with the robot? How about your partners? Did they hear about it in a meeting?

Felt at the edge of the speed conformable to follow what you say. It was a big hard to follow.

Learned from user

It felt more like a defense of your choices than an acknowledgement of what was learned. Can you see why I am saying this and the difference between the two?

Learned from prototype

Why would lower center of gravity = more speed? Just curious on a physics basis I am not sure it make sense or what you are trying to get to.

Prototype 3 felt interesting with the hole on the top of the head to be slided in

Feedback

I understand you picked the angle of smartibot mixed with Curio but I am not sure how feasible what you propose would be for another person to build.

What would be a good outcome for your project? Do you plan to offer the plans of the robot on your website? Maybe a tutorial on how to build it?

Overall, I don’t think you met with your client enough :slight_smile: , there is lot we could have discussed on a day to day basis.

I liked how in your video, you expressed your initial thoughts about the design and then, with the feedback from your partner, managed to define an MVP for yourselves. This way, you successfully created a clear goal statement and sharpened your objectives.

While reviewing your daily logs, the example of the prototype applied on Curio caught my attention, and I was hoping to see that sketch in the video as well. The explanations and the identified problems that could be addressed with this prototype were well expressed. Instead of focusing on Smartibot in the video, it would have been more effective to highlight and discuss the changes that could be made on Curio.

As a team, I can advise you to focus on creating designs and presenting analyses on Curio. This way, you can receive feedback more easily from partners and also evaluate your own prototypes to gain insights. If you can also mention the learnings you gained from the prototype next time, I’m sure we will make even more progress.

P.S. I had a lot of fun with the design of your presentation, the robot figures around it were very intriguing :slight_smile:

Video sounds sped up. Please do this with caution, the video is bordeline too fast to follow.

Learned from user

I am glad we managed to re-align on the scope of this project, I think you now have a good picture of what the goals are.

How likely do you think it is that a robot get damaged?

I like the sustainable angle, but was not sure on which specific parts do you think we can improve upon?

Learned from prototype

I am not sure about what you learned from the Smartibot at this stage. Am I right to say that the video say that the Smartibot has a clear front and back because of the face on the robot? Did you learn anything else from it?
