The result belongs to the 2023 - 2024 A' Design Award & Competition and was reached through blind peer review by an international grand jury panel of established academics, design professionals and press members, who assessed anonymized entries against predetermined criteria.
The Bronze A' Design Award Explained
The Bronze A' Design Award is given to outstanding designs that showcase a high degree of creativity and practicality. It recognizes the dedication and skill of designers who produce work that stands out for its thoughtful development and innovative use of materials and technology. These designs are acknowledged for their professional execution and potential to influence industry standards positively. Winning this award highlights the designer's ability to blend form and function effectively, offering solutions that enhance people's lives and wellbeing.
Regarding Dooo Module Integrated Robotic Arm
Dooo is a robotic arm for single-person households that often face difficult situations to do alone in their daily lives. It helps with things that are hard to do alone. It is equipped with basic functions of Bluetooth speaker, lighting, and gripper, and stores three modules in the body: dust remover, dryer, and holder. The gripper serves as another eye and arm of the user, and the module combined to the arm becomes an object with limbs. It is also automatically combined with the module they want when the user commands, and automatically stored in the body when it is finished using.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Dooo is equipped with basic functions of Bluetooth speaker, lighting, and gripper, and stores three modules in the body: dust remover, dryer, and holder. The gripper serves as another eye and arm of the user, and the module combined to the arm becomes an object with limbs. Dooo with an automatic module replacement mechanism is automatically combined with the module user wants and automatically stored in the body when it is out of use.
- Inspiration
- Dooo is a robotic arm for single-person households. Single-person households often face difficult situations to do alone in their free daily lives. In this situation, they imagine, "If I had eyes on the back of my head," "If I had another arm." and "If things had limbs,". Dooo makes this imagination a reality. The gripper serves as another eye and arm of the user, and the module combined to the arm becomes an object with limbs. It helps with things that are hard to do alone.
- Research
- In order to design a robot for a single-person household, I observed the life of a single-person household and wrote a scenario of what kind of activities they do in what space in the house. In that scenario, I found things that they couldn't do or were hard to do by themselves, and I wanted to make the core items into modules. In addition, considering the size of the house where a single-person household lives and the environmental interior I designed it.
- Challenge
- I didn't know about the life of single-person households because I had never lived alone. Because it was difficult to directly observe or experience the life of single-person households, I was able to observe their lives indirectly through watching their vlogs and interviewing them. I also had a hard time coming up with an automatic module replacement mechanism that would reduce the hassle of users having to manually replace and store modules. To find a way to take the module out of the body and store it back with the limited radius and angle of movement of the robot arm, I tried and tested many simulations using modeling tools.
- Realization and Technology
- The housing of the overall body is made of durable plastic with warm gray, and wood material is used on the stand part to match the interior design of the house. In addition, although it is a slim design to reduce taking up space, the robot's center of gravity moving device technology has been applied to the pedestal to increase the realizability of this design. Since the center of gravity of the pedestal moves according to the movement of the robot arm, the user can use it stably without shaking or falling.
- Operation and Interaction
- It can be manipulated through an app connection, and it can also be moved through voice commands with voice recognition technology.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in March 2022 and finished in June 2022 in Kookmin university
