I assembled the robot using the company’s kit, but I wanted to take it a step further by enhancing its aesthetics. So, I designed and 3D-printed a custom body to complement the structure, aiming to emphasize fluid and organic shapes.
The idea was to seamlessly integrate the underlying mechanics with a shell that gives the robot a more dynamic and futuristic look without compromising mobility. The result is a sinuous structure, inspired by natural forms, that flows with the movement, adding lightness and continuity.
I had chatted him that the design immediately reminded me of the Netflix Series Love, Death & Robots, or even the older Bjork music video “All is ful of love”. Yes, of course the robots in the video game Portal as well among others. Personally really like that aesthetic.
Yes cbenson, fair observation! The objective was precisely to create homogeneity and continuity in the design with the intention of leave some mechanical parts uncovered. Happy to know that u like it .
The entire exoskeleton is composed of many parts (about 46) that fit between them and with mechanics without the use of screws, magnets, glue or clips. This is also thanks to the choice to design the parts so that they were printed in 3d .
