Description of the project
This project I was able to develop myself a lot and was able to find back one of my core values in creating work, I found my love for creative engineering. I was free to come up with a project myself and theme for it. Here is made my nameless little robot

Description of the meaning
The work follow a story, here you get a random package trough the mail, you open it and suddenly you see this little robot inside. And a letter asking you to “take care” of him. It expects you to show love and affection to the creature, and it will show it back. if you are not taking proper care, it will get upset. if you do it will get happy and wont bother you.

The premise being, effort = effort back, a simple message that is forgotten a lot. And it is beautiful to see people get attached to the creature.

This works trough Arduino, it has a sound sensor and pressure sensor, so for instance you were able to pet the creature to make it happy, but eventually it would get overstimulated. nor could you pet it too wildly or it would get uncomfortable, it was more so about learning its preferences, after all we are all different.
