Created to help you: Behind the scenes #19
http://created-to-help-you.blogspot.com/2013/06/behind-scenes-19.html
Friday, 21 June 2013. Behind the scenes #19. This photos reveals the flimsy reality of the ambulance's control centre. This was built in a bus garage beside the house location. Of course there was nothing on the screens and so Alex and Julian had to stare at a square of perspex and look concerned. While this set was being constructed we ran out of time and money. The walls and fake doors had been built, but they had no handles and it all looked a bit flat. Who knew handles were so expensive?

Created to help you: Early POV test
http://created-to-help-you.blogspot.com/2013/06/early-pov-test.html
Friday, 21 June 2013. Here's an early test we did as R&D for what the robot's POV might look like. We wanted the design to come from real image processing. We looked at a lot of motion tracking software and videos of how mobile robots navigate. It wasn't so important to us that the viewer totally understands what the robot is seeing, only that it is. Seeing, that it is calculating. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://created-to-help-you.blogspot.com/2013/07/at-end-of-day-if-ambulance-ride-costs.html
Monday, 15 July 2013. At the end of the day, if an ambulance ride costs me $1200 in NYC, I can’t begin to imagine what an in-home robot visit would cost. Dr. Easy seems like way better company than NYC’s ambulance drivers though.". But of course these are idealistic notions and while automation in any industry can reduce overheads, savings are not necessarily passed on to the consumer. Perhaps Dr Easy's would just represent another career path consigned to the dustbin. Dr Easy on Vice.com.

Created to help you: Coffins
http://created-to-help-you.blogspot.com/2013/06/coffins.html
Friday, 21 June 2013. An idea which occurred to us quite late in the process was that when the shutters went up, the ambulance should house two or more Dr. Easys. We liked the idea that the robot was a tool and to suggest it was expendable. We designed these upright 'coffins' for the robots to sit in, lined with the foam that you might find in a photographer's kit case, to protect the robot in transit.

Created to help you: Early face test
http://created-to-help-you.blogspot.com/2013/06/early-face-test.html
Friday, 21 June 2013. This is an early test we made while refining the design of the robot's face. It's funny watching it now as this seems so gormless and child-like. We also decided that the mouth was moving far too much - your eye unnaturally gravitates towards it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Created to help you: If you tickle a robot, it may not laugh, but you may still consider it humanlike -- depending on its role in your life, reports an international group of researchers.
http://created-to-help-you.blogspot.com/2013/07/if-you-tickle-robot-it-may-not-laugh.html
Tuesday, 9 July 2013. If you tickle a robot, it may not laugh, but you may still consider it humanlike - depending on its role in your life, reports an international group of researchers. Designers and engineers assign robots specific roles, such as servant, caregiver, assistant or playmate. Researchers found that people expressed more positive feelings toward a robot that would take care of them than toward a robot that needed care. Participants then filled out a questionnaire about their feelings towar...
