Technology & Design: The Swinging Swiffer
Bachelor Industrial Design Engineering - University of Ghent Campus Kortrijk - June 2018
Skills: Arduino - Adobe Premiere pro - Adobe Photoshop - Drawing - 3D printing
The assignment was to make a ‘smart device’ or home assistant for elderly people. The result is a Swiffer that plays music (with Spotify) and makes cleaning fun. The handle is ergonomically designed and prototyped using 3D printing with flexible filament (TPU). This aesthetic prototype is visible in the photo's.
A technical prototype with an Arduino was also made to test the different functions like squeezing the handle to go to the next song.
