Narratives light & robotics – Group 3

Well, as a start i learned that if you put you mind to it,a shit load of hard work and an infinite amount of late nights, it is actuallypossible to achieve what you thought where impossible!

Besides that i learned a lot more about group work and how to deal with different personalities and how other
people work.

Plus i really gained my programming knowledge and my understanding for electronic devices and how to setup
circuits brick by brick!

All in all it’s been a really good course and i fell that i personally have raised my skills in many ways! And the fact that
we where really free to do what we felt would be fun where a good twist to this assignment!

I think that this project was a great opportunity to learn how to work in a group( as most of time I work individually). And also how to integrate industrial design and interactive media together. It was also quite comprehensive project so creating something that will fulfill all the requirements was a real challenge. While doing a project we have also learnt a lot from each other as each of us has different experience and skills. Sometimes I had an impression that making decision took to much of time as there were to many members in a group.

Anyway I think that we had a great time doing it

It was nice to have an actual working finished product, as we’re usually just making a “proof of concept”. I really enjoyed the process of making the product and making it work, a process that was very educational and the things you learned were things, I’m sure I can use in future projects. But as much fun as the making and building process was, I maybe think it took away a bit too much time from the other parts of the design-process.

I think our group (except for a few episodes) worked really well, though 5 people might be one to many.

But all-in-all I was very happy with this project and the things we got out of it. And (not to suck up) it very nice having such dedicated and enthusiastic teachers. that helped a lot!

a house for robots. Shape is similar to a robot’s head. There are rotary balls on a surface which can generate energy necessary for recharging robots..
