Production Technology: When I was designing this robot, I prioritized what I considered important features. I also studied a lot of product designs from the 1970s and 1980s, and I found that they often favored bold colors and simple, square shapes. As a service robot, this robot should appear very friendly and non-threatening. Secondly, this robot needs to serve customers in a restaurant as a waiter, so it should have the functionality to take orders and payment.
Design Challenge: The artist finds that creating this entirely new style of retro-futurism is the biggest challenge. He has extracted a lot of design inspiration from product designs of the 70s and 80s, but he struggles with how to apply these inspirations and elements to my sci-fi design concept. The artist needs to use retro elements to build a sci-fi world, and in the clash of these two elements, he needs to find a balance point where they can seamlessly come together in a perfect union.
Research: Since this is a robot in a fictional world, I had a lot of creative freedom when designing it to make it visually appealing. The world adopting retro-futurism as the basic aesthetic style allowed me to focus most of my research on seamlessly blending retro aesthetics with the futuristic elements I envisioned.
Inspiration: The artist got a lot of inspirations from 70s and 80s art and design. Under the impact of space age, a lot of industrial designs had very clean shape and bold colors.
Project Duration: The design started in 2021 in Los Angeles and finished in August 2022 December in Los Angeles
Operation Flow: The robot is equipped with basic microphones and speakers, and most of the time, customers will use voice communication to interact with the robot. The robot also has a display screen and keyboard to handle other specific situations. Additionally, the robot is equipped with a small oven to provide guests with free bread and cookies. Customers can also retrieve utensils and napkins from containers on the robot. The robot's legs are equipped with a simple vacuum cleaner and can perform some basic cleaning while moving. The robot uses wheels to move on smooth surfaces and switches to a walking mode when encountering obstacles like stairs or uneven terrain.
