For an autonomous robot able to move independently around the hotel, the UI & UX needed to be carefully designed with the right combination of voice, visual, and spatial awareness elements so the robot could determine how far away the person is, how high or low the volume should be, and the right visual effects to attract the person’s attention from a distance away compared to when they are standing within close proximity. 

In collaboration with Studio Primak, using a thoughtfully designed series of elements which included colours, typography, button designs, voice interface, and animation, I crafted a friendly and warm persona for the robot which created a comfortable and delightful interaction experience for a diverse audience group ranging from children to adults of different social and cultural backgrounds. It also helped to circumvent any awkwardness or fear of dealing with robots (robophobia).
