Product Design Projects
Sentient Horizons Degree Show 2024
The Product Design department has explored the phenomenon of humanoid robots, such as Ameca by Engineered Arts, which exhibit such a high level of "humanity" as to be unsettling, due to the phenomenon called the "uncanny valley."
The presence of robots in our lives is destined to increase in the near future, thus posing an aesthetic question that involves the design culture since, to "feel" more human, robotic objects must appear less human, requiring a specific aesthetic strategy built upon the traditions of high-quality design.
