Creating something as unique as the Ottobot robot called for an equally unique design strategy. From the get-go, we needed to align our design approach with the business goals and objectives. And, of course, we needed quick and effective ways to check our designs along the way.
The innovation behind the Ottobot inspired us to think outside the box—literally! We experimented with all sorts of materials, from humble cardboard boxes to sophisticated 3D-printed components, and everything in between. This allowed us to quickly test and refine our designs, ensuring they meshed perfectly with the engineering team’s needs.
The Ottobot project is a perfect example of what happens when design, engineering, and business teams work in complete harmony. When these disciplines come together, they become extensions of each other, driving innovation and creating something extraordinary.
