Functionality of Eco bot

How the ecobot is designed to be carried by users?

Essentially, the cloth can be draped over the body of the Eco Bot to symbolize its portability and flexibility. This design element not only adds to its visual appeal but also emphasizes its mobility, allowing it to be easily transported and used in various locations.

The EcoBot is a heavy-weighted object, which is an intentional aspect of its design due to the materials involved, such as wood. While its weight adds durability and stability, it also reflects the robustness required for its functionality.


I wanted to collect more images this week to gain a better perspective of the artefact.

How the robot aligns with eco-friendly practices?

The EcoBot is the perfect sustainable dustbin, designed with verbs like collect, discard, grouping, and gather in mind. These concepts inspired me to create the EcoBot, with its primary aim being to collect waste, handle discarded rubbish, and gather materials for a cleaner environment. 

Through this, the EcoBot embodies the cyclical nature of waste management, encouraging a sustainable approach to rubbish collection.

By using repurposed materials, such as wood and other discarded parts, the EcoBot reduces waste and promotes the reuse of resources. This minimizes the need for new materials and lowers the robot's environmental footprint.

How this project contributes to sustainability and encourages better rubbish management in Fratton?

This project contributes to sustainability by creating a functional and eco-friendly solution for waste management in Fratton. The EcoBot encourages better rubbish management by promoting the collection, sorting, and recycling of waste in a practical and engaging way.

 The EcoBot’s mobility allows it to be easily integrated into various spaces, making waste collection more efficient and accessible to the community. Through this project, the EcoBot not only addresses the issue of waste but also educates and inspires the community to adopt more sustainable practices, ultimately fostering a cleaner, greener environment in Fratton.

CCIXR Workshop

On the 14th of November, when you attended the CCIXR in the motion studio with dancers/choreographers Vicky Hunter and Virginia Farmen, the way they engaged with the artefact must have been captivating. Their involvement likely brought the artefact to life, adding a dynamic, physical dimension to its interpretation.


On 15th November, Friday We had Studio class and discussed about each one's artefact and understood the depth of it. Discussing on other's point of view to make it more interesting. Presenting the 1.1 drawings made me understand were i stand comparing my work with one another.


Then we were split up in peer groups, and had a conversation about how your object would contribute to Fratton. We took the verbs which each of them choose and got the connectivity in them for better understanding. 



We found the similarity to each other's verbs and combined it all together,.

To be continued, next week.

#Blog 6 My EcoBot

 #Blog 6 My Eco Bot : "Redefining Waste Management Through Design" Firstly, I began creating the body of the EcoBot by designing a shape that serves as its main structure. I then added a few features, such as legs repurposed from a table, to give it stability and functionality. To make it more engaging, I also incorporated a welcoming look, ensuring it feels approachable and user-friendly. I worked on assembling the body of the EcoBot using various joinery techniques, as depicted below. These joineries not only provide structural stability but also align with the sustainable and handcrafted approach of the design. Since the EcoBot is intended for use in Fratton, I thought of making it more engaging for kids by giving it a funky, playful look. This design choice aims to attract their attention and encourage interaction, making rubbish collection a fun and educational experience. From the very beginning, my goal has always been to create an EcoBot that prioritizes sustainabilit...

#Blog 5 Concept and Design

 #Blog 5  Concept and Design "The concept evolved from  Wall-E , an animated science fiction film set in the 29th century, where Earth has been abandoned due to environmental degradation caused by overconsumption and corporate neglect." Keeping Wall-E in mind, I began designing a Portable Dustbin for Fratton. However, it’s more than just a dustbin—it's a robot designed to perform the task of collecting rubbish. My robot is portable, designed to be easily carried by me or the user, making it convenient and adaptable for various situations. Considering rubbish collection, I decided to repurpose the materials I’ve gathered. Instead of discarding any components after dismantling, I plan to carefully reuse them, ensuring minimal waste and sustainable use of resources. I didn’t want to replicate the abstract of Wall-E since it already exists. Instead, I aimed to create my own abstract design using the materials and parts I had available, building the entire concept around those...

 #Blog 2   Visit and Reflect On October 11, 2024, we visited St. Mary’s Church in Fratton. After sitting down, we were encouraged to observe the church and its architecture. We were then instructed to sketch using our hands while keeping our eyes closed, allowing us to engage with the forms and shapes in a unique way. We had a activity to do they told us to look at the any view which we liked. And close our eyes, while sketching it seemed little weird. We were aware of the textures, shapes, and sounds around us.  The sketches produced while our eyes are  unexpected to shapes and forms. Then we were to collect draw different types of lines and notice details from it. I discovered various objects during the exercise, such as a cross, intricate flooring patterns, a table with beautiful wooden carvings, a Bible stand, and mosaic patterns on the walls.  There were also many wooden frames that represented different lines. Each element offered unique details that contr...
