After the kick-off - Week 1

  • What are you expecting to learn during the Robots course?

Our expectations for this course are to expand our knowledge of the user, society and enterprise issues that surround robotics. We don't expect to fully produce the product which will be manufacturable but to learn about the process that has to be taken in order to reach that state. Learn about whether a product would be worth making depending on the market and on how beneficial and useful it is for our users. Furthermore, we have to investigate the ethical impact of the robotic device and how and why it might not be easy to bring it forward. Since this group is an OGO we expect to further our cooperation skills as well as learn from each other's experiences in the various domains.

  • What kind of coaching do you expect?

The coaching will be more of a general guidance and feedback session, which will let us know if we are completely off the track. It will not be telling us exactly what to do and when to have it done by.

  • What kind of coaching would you prefer?

We would like the coaches to let us know when we are going severely off topic, but not to intervene in all the work we do.

  • What will the coaches expect of you?

The coaches expect to be updated on the current state of our work, the issues we encounter and various interesting findings we encounter.

After the first tutor meeting - Week 2

  • What is the most interesting thing you learned in the coaching meeting of the previous week and why?

What we were focussing on were robotic ideas that were innovative and sounded interested, however, we were then told that an important criterion for our idea was that it should solve a problem, and although some of our ideas did, they weren't particularly problem centred.

  • How did you incorporate coaches' feedback of the previous meeting in your project?

We therefore, came up with 5 new ideas that would help people in various ways and elaborated on how they would help them.

  • What new activities did you undertake during this week? What did you learn from these activities?

We focussed on finding ideas and grading them.

  • What did you do to prepare for next week's meeting?

We prepared a small presentation explaining what we had done.

After the second tutor meeting - Week 3

  • What is the most interesting thing you learned in the coaching meeting of the previous week and why?

The tutors said we had to choose one of the ideas we had, we were aware that we were running late and were told we were to hurry if we wanted to succeed.

  • How did you incorporate coaches' feedback of the previous meeting in your project?

We chose one idea, the virtual mirror, after grading all of the ideas.

  • What new activities did you undertake during this week? What did you learn from these activities?

We looked at the stakeholders of each subsection of our idea as well as how it would impact the users, society and enterprises.

  • What did you do to prepare for next week's meeting?

We summarized all our findings in order to be able to explain everything concisely as possible.

After the third tutor meeting - Week 4

  • What is the most interesting thing you learned in the coaching meeting of the previous week and why?

The tutors told us our idea and work was too broad and that they wanted a product and a prototype or at least something to show at the final deadline. We were also warned that we had a lot of work to do in order to catch up on the time missed.

  • How did you incorporate coaches' feedback of the previous meeting in your project?

We, therefore, decided to make a decision on the same day of the tutor meeting itself. We decided on the hairdresser's virtual representation. And went did extra work to catch up.

  • What new activities did you undertake during this week? What did you learn from these activities?

Different members worked on different ideas and parts of the project. Louis created a user survey in order to find the priorities and important aspects of our product according to everyday users and professional users. Bas started learning the 3D modelling application Maya in order to give a 3D representation at the final presentation. Rens looked for ways in which we could actually go from pictures taken from a person to the 3D representation of these pictures. Joelle worked on the laws and ethics of our product in order to be aware of the dangers and requirements for our product. Clara worked on the RPC (Requirements, Preferences and Constraints) of the product as well as working on the planning.

  • What did you do to prepare for next week's meeting?

In order to prepare for the meeting we met prior to it to discuss each other's progress, potential questions we had for the tutor as well.

After the fourth tutor meeting - Week 5
