Robot Design
Mon Jan 4, 2010 12:52:13 pm


I have spent the last two days trying to design a robot that does not look creepy. It's much more difficult than I thought it would be. My early attempts looked like aliens, and a few looked like harlequin babies. All of them were creepy. I realized that the problem was trying to look too human without getting the subtle details right. To remove the creepiness, I had to make it more like a machine than like a person.

This is the tentative design:

You should morph yourself and that robot to see what your babies look like.
That probably would look creepy.

Was that on Saved by the Bell? I only watched a few episodes and never saw a robot, but the file name suggests that it was on the show.
totally, it's KEVIN, the robot screech built :)

I read the book, but I haven't seen the movie.

The book doesn't have an illustration of Marvin.

I like the simplicity of the head.

I did not see a truck. The site might be protected from hotlinking.

That is too complex for this project. I don't want to spend three months creating a 10 second animation.
