A Robotic Ball Game: Development of Physical and Computer Prototypes: an Industrial Design Degree Project María Del Sol Guijarro Chirosa

An industrial designer's job is to solve problems of form, usability, ergonomics or marketing through design solutions which ensure good user interaction with a product. The purpose of the game described in this book was to introduce and attract young people, particularly young women, to the world of engineering. A ball game that included a robotic arm was designed to provide both amusement and education at exhibitions and in student environments. This book, a degree thesis project written by an industrial design student, details the development process of both a physical and computer prototype of a ball game involving interaction with an industrial robot
