: ROBOTS :

Gonna be a hot minute, just started website(5/26) and have thousands of pieces of both personal and professional content spanning decades.

Some of which makes it clear why I wanted to wait before doing this.

Enough thresholds have been reached for this to begin. Join me as I probe and ponder backward and forward through time. Both analyzing and creating all the while.

Sketches, Models, & Notes

Pearl
The Nursebot

My first real world robot experience.

Also the first time I utilized 3D printing, yes back in the year 2000. Along with a ton of filler primer, paint, and stacks of sandpaper.

Robots did not look like this 25+ years ago.

The challenge was our audience, at the time, was expecting a much older design language than the 90's had to offer.

Pearl was meant to bridge that gap, and look like something designed and built in that generations era.

With a modern touch, and another challenge I love to meet that current designs continue to avoid: full sensor integration.

Visually obvious and physically functional, not hidden behind a smokey plastic lens trying to pretend they aren't there.

Both useful and honest, which is what we need. Still. Although it is clearly not an easy challenge to meet, thus all that more valuable.

Arthur

Nature digs this design, clearly, it's been around for a very, very, long time.

So of course it was honor to build one in homage.

Intuition on paths yet to be.

Sketches in a wide variety of quality, their content was more important. Grasping for direction as the decades pass to sense the creatures nature has been patiently waiting to manifest for quite some time now.

And is as nervous and excited as we are, for we are one in the same. This is how it speaks to me, through me, for I too seek to understand the results.

Then simply wait for it.

Build them myself? Think hard about that, all in good time.
