What role will creative professionals (artists, graphic design, videographers. etc.) play in the development of these devices.
Develop a concept for a simple robot that could help people on a day to day basis. (I’m not looking for military application, something that could be used safely at a home, school, or business to help people.) Write a description of what purpose the robot will serve and how it functions.
Create a sketch of what the robot would look like.
