Robotics design / Development

Overview

Robotic retail installation developed in collaboration with Bagel Affairs for Parfois, designed as a 24/7 interactive window display combining robotics, motion design and user engagement.

Objective

Design a robotic interaction system capable of continuously engaging passersby through object manipulation and expressive motion.

System

A robotic character, Mr. Butler, operates within a set of snow globes, executing sequences of selection, handling and presentation.
The system is designed to perform continuously, maintaining consistent interaction in a retail environment.

Execution

Motion sequences were developed to achieve organic, human-like behavior, moving away from standard industrial robotics.
All movements were designed and validated using advanced 3D simulation, ensuring precise choreography and flow.

Technology

  • Robotic arm motion control
  • Organic motion design and choreography
  • Object manipulation sequences
  • Advanced 3D simulation and validation

Result

A robotic interaction system where motion, behavior and timing create a continuous performance, transforming a retail window into an engaging and dynamic experience.
