Mobot is created by me to solve my daily problems. Mobot has the brain of a genius to help me complete my tutorials and projects. Other than tapping on the world for information through her radar cones, she can type at 20 times the speed of an average person. Over the weekends, I would activate Mobot's domestic function to clean the ceiling and hard to reach areas at home. Her legs are designed in stainless steel spring to ensure she can propel to high places. With her constant contact with water due to the cleaning, stainless steel material is used to prevent rusting. The base of Mobot is fitted with wheels to enhance her speed in mopping of floors. Mobot will retreat to rest at night when all tasks are done. Apart from snoozing, she loves to play on the Nintendo Wii and aspire to take part in a global gaming competition held specially for intelligent robots.

Mobot's companion

Reflection : 

I enjoyed the process of constructing Mobot from scratch. Took a lot of time to turn her from side to side to ensure the parts are where they are intended to be. This exercise gave me freedom to design a robot according to my imagination. A good start for me to practice MAYA.

IN3D Week 1: Lab 1 Primitive breakdown & form

Exercise 2 : Sketch robot as a collection of primitive shapes


 







Exercise 3 : Compare the different forms of these buildings

 

Prisons are meant to be scary, powerful looking places, while Toontown is meant for fun and childlike enjoyment – how is this reflected in the lines and angles of the buildings?

Most of the prisons have straight and rigid lines with sharp edges that makes people want to stay away. Hence, the prisons look scary. In contrast, Toontown is built using different kinds of shapes and angles. It has curvy lines and rounded edges. The rounded edges look more interesting and give a safe and comfortable feeling.

How does the sense of scale reflect the different purposes of the prisons and Toontown?

The prisons have a wide and huge scale, making them scarier and more powerful. For Toontown, the place will look more interesting and cheerful as it is made up of interesting shapes in different sizes.
