Bard & Moesie – Student Project

Two teams from the IUXD (Interface & User Experience Design) course at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences designed concepts for the Wijkbot, with the Cool Zuid neighbourhood as their starting point. Both teams had already conducted field research in the neighbourhood.

We gave students this brief: In this assignment, we want to challenge you to think about the form a robot could take to strengthen social cohesion in the neighbourhood. You can develop a concept for a new robot, or redesign an existing Wijkbot.

After conducting research and an extensive ideation process, the teams arrived at two different concepts.
