KIA EU x Hochschule Pforzheim
MA 1st term sponsored project
" Opposite United design philosophy "
" Mobility that improve Humanity "
// From presenting this project...
I wanted to contribute to make everyone dream about bright future that human and A.I Robotics friendly coexist.
I believe we could make it real when we keep dream it.
And Kia would be the leading brand which define reason for technology with humanity.
' Bright future with A.I robot '
//Recently due to rapid development of Artificial Inteligence and robotics, we feel threatened from their unexpectable growth. I believe Kia, brand which gives reason for future, could solve this fear by bringing emotional experience to turn this cold technology into warm humanized way. Concept ‘Companion’ is about future lifestyle with a personal robot and its mothership ‘EVO’ that benefit our humanity.

// Not only interacting with human but also help people to be more closer each other
// It will always be with us and make our life more colorful, joyful and meaningful
// Personal robot 'Companion'

// Basically my inspiration was crack of egg, it means born of life.
I wanted to make this robot feel emotionally alive by implementing awakening concept, with sliding movement of head and wheels.

// It could free our hands so we could grab someone’s hand.
it could keep our drink cold or warm, navigate us, deliver goods for us,
with projection light it could protect us from stranger and make dark night street
into flowery garden.
// 'EVO' is mothership mobility that we could ride together with our companion
.

// Harmony between volumic surface and sharp graphic, representing ambivalence of A.I Robotics and also representing
Kia's Opposite United Philosophy
// Keep it simple but make it interesting in details
// Robot could enter from rear, while user go in through side doors.
// Here is interior design what we can see inside 'EVO'.
I intended to make Interior design completed when companion sits as a center consol.
Functioning as main brain of this mobility and continue its experience in a long distance journey.
// Flexible movement of sliding wheel, installed in both 'Companion' and 'EVO'
for expressing its aliveness.
