THE CHALLENGE The challenge was to design a personal surveillance robot for urban commuters who walk in public spaces, to provide a sense of safety and security by creating an accessible and approachable robot that can respond to emergency situations without harming others.

THE OUTCOME DOKO is a personal surveillance robot designed to enhance personal safety for urban commuters. It is a small, approachable robot that can immediately respond to danger and alert bystanders while also having a countermeasure system that does not harm others.

Imagine...

Imagine living a busy city life: As the sun sets and the shadows of towering buildings stretch out to darken the bustling city streets, a young woman hurries along, heart pounding. The cold night air sends a shiver down her spine as she avoids the lurking eyes of strangers. But then, a flash of light catches her attention. A dog, walking alongside its owner with a glowing collar, barks at a passerby and the woman can't help but feel drawn to the scene. In that moment, she longs for a companion who could offer her the same sense of security, but with her work and living situation, owning a pet seems impossible.
