Our team designed and built an icosahedron robot with acutating faces capable of (almost) rolling and playing audio.
This project was outside my primary skill set; I contributed by developing different versions of web-based remote controls and by helping edit the documentation.
I developed three separate web-based control interfaces to operate the icosahedron robot remotely. Each interface served different control needs and use cases for the team.
I focused on creating intuitive, reliable control interfaces that the team could use to test and demonstrate the robot's capabilities. The software team was incredibly generous with their time in helping me understand concepts and techniques.
Interface 1: Primary control dashboard for basic extension control of individual faces
Interface 2: Triangle control panel to select the direction of movement
Interface 3: Operation control in forward, backward, left, and right

I assisted with editing the short film that showcases Neilbot in action. This involved working with the documentation team to make a cinematic narrative that highlighted both the technical achievements and collaborative process.
