Observational Experiments

These observational experiments were inspired by robotic parts, as you can see by the darker parts. The parts that appear darker are pictures stuck onto a piece of paper before hand - I then sketched the rest of the robot in fine detail as I saw fit. The one that really stands out to me is the bottom one, due to the fact that it took me the longest. I tried my best to mirror the robotic arm part, as well as sketching the body and head of the robot.

The shape of the robot experiment at the top right actually inspires the torso of my current robot. I like this shape because it looks neat and professional, and easy to model in Maya.

Robots in Reality

For my moodboard, I started doing research into different examples of robots in films and games, for example, Claptrap from the Borderlands franchise, and C3-PO from Star Wars.
These were all very good examples and will inspire me to create something very similar for my final idea.

Mindmap

For my mindmap, I began looking into different types of materials and equipment typically used in robots, such as wires and metal.
