Robot equal rights posters process


I played around with the posters to try to give them a dated look. I wanted the robot revolution to seem like a past historical event and relate to the civil rights movement to make it seem more relevant.

Final Project Sketches: Robot Equal Rights



Sketches of ideas and layouts for robot equal rights posters. I wanted the posters to be both pro and anti robot rights. The posters for my final project will include cute Japanese robots on posters about equality, as well as anti robot posters.

Palro robot


Palro robot now speaks English 2011

Palro is a companion robot created by Fuji Soft. Something notable about Palro its ability to picture its surroundings and avoid obstacles. It's body can move a lot more than Pepper's, however as far as conversations go it's not quite as advanced.

Pepper the Robot


Interview with Pepper the robot 2014. 

 ‘Pepper’ was created by SoftBank, a Japanese telecommunication and internet corporation. Pepper can be found at SoftBank and other stores in Japan, greeting and informing customers. The most interesting thing about Pepper is his ability to perceive emotion and adapt accordingly. Seeing Pepper interact is fascinating! The way he banters and jokes with the person interviewing him felt very natural and the conversation flowed reasonably well.
