Home & Small Business Security Robot
Spring 2023
Core Objectives
Manufacturing Exploration
Robot Redesign
CAD Modeling
Brief
Design a security robot by using an existing robot as a reference and explore manufacturing considerations for the robot.
Reference Robot
The Amazon Astro is a home monitoring robot that can navigate, detect, alert, and interact with users using autonomous patrols, remote care, voice assistance, mics, cameras, and speakers.
Friendly vs Deterrent
The reference robot has a particularly friendly and approachable appearance which is ineffective for a security robot, so my robot needs an intimidating appearance that deters potential intruders
A short exploration of small autonomous robots using existing components from the Amazon Astro
Manufacturing Concepts
Exploring different manufacturing methods centered around how it changes the styling of the robot
Autonomy and Scale
As a way to minimize space usage and increase autonomy, a self-retracting charging dock was my solution to a pre-existing issue with robots like the Amazon Astro.
Simple & Sleek
Durable Structural-Foam Base
Self-docking Charger
