Industrial Design – Internship
ARTIMO Robotic
Camera System
A seamless User Interaction and Servicing Experience through ergonomic touchpoints and feature placements
With the Industrial Design direction defined and the rest of the system coalescing into its final form, this project focused on work towards details of the product’s external shell that improve its serviceability and user experience.

Role in the Project
As an Industrial Design Co-op student, I was tasked to work on design details for the exterior cowling of the system, specifically these:
- Base service handle design
- Base LED indicator location
- Tally LED mounting design
- E-Stop location
Sketch and CAD Ideation, Prototyping, Ergonomic, Manufacturability and Cost-Effectiveness analyses were done for most of these design details.
Ideation Sketching
Numerous physical and digital sketches were drafted up to conceptualize and ideate potential solutions.
Ergonomic and Scenario Testing
Subjecting handle concepts to a realistic scenario of pulling, lifting and maneuvering with the simulated weight and CoG of the base cowling for service.
Prototyping
Foam panels, 3D prints, and Engineering prototype parts were used to ideate and iterate upon ideas that were previously on sketches or in CAD, to test the feasibility and effectiveness of the various concepts and solutions.
