Robots that have to be soft on the outside.
Putting motors and electronics inside plush changes the problem. Fabric traps heat, and parts have to stay put inside a soft shell that kids handle every day.
How we approached it.
Several platforms
Engineering work across bipedal, quadruped and wheeled robots.
Heat and retention
Designed around the heat trapped by plush and kept internal parts retained inside a soft exterior.
Mechanical and electrical
Developed the mechanical structure and the electrical systems together.
Prototypes
Built and tested functional prototypes, and showed them at events.
