Bachelor’s thesis project: UNIQ. Uniqueness of Robots
Thesis advisors: Oskar Zięta (Industrial Design), Dawid Wiener (Psychology)
Maja combined three elements in her graduation project: uniqueness, expressionism and...a robot as a co-designer. She used a robot, KUKA KR 6 900 six, and an attachment printed on a 3D printer, to paint porcelain. To achieve different patterns, Maja controlled the pattern imprinting process, performed by the robot, by changing the movements and the distance of the robotic arm. To better control the imprinting process, she used special consistency of porcelain. However, she could not tell what the final product would look like and she credited, or rather co-credit, the robot for the final design. In this project, KUKA was not just a robot, but also a partner.
