Product Case:

Robotic Wine Serving

Smart Mechanics Artesis

The goal of this student project was

creating a robot capable of serving

food or drinks. Within this context,

I created a wine-serving robot

that operates in classy and

trendy restaurants. It is capable

of transporting and serving two

types of wine, while displaying their

characteristics and background

information. The user can either

choose to taste the wine or fi ll the

glass according to their needs.

The robot has been given the

right dimensions, acquired through

restaurant observation and critical

distance measuring. In this way, the

robot operates in the user’s zone of

convenient reach and is very mobile

within the restaurant. The main

challenge was to create a valuable

and yet low-production-cost product

due to the small product series.

Product Case:

Robotic Wine Serving Smart Mechanics Artesis

The body is constructed out of fi berglass on a milled polyurethane foam core. The control components are 3D-printed and mounted on the fi berglass body.

Internal system components include two 2.,25 cl refi llable reservoirs connected to

computer-controlled soleno?d valves. The robot navigates by following magnetic strips that are built in the ? oor. RFID tags give feedback of the exact position.

When the user has made the right wine selection, making contact with the glass to the button will activate the solenoid

valves. The wine will then ? ow untill the user has suffi cient wine, with a maximum dispensed amount of 25cl. Remaining

droplets will be caught in a drip stop.

Eco Soap Dispenser Bachelorproof Artesis and Ecover

This project was offered by Ecover. The result had to be a redesign of the bag-in-box soap dispensing system. My interpretation resulted in a low-impact, ecological paper pulp moulded box with a reusable pump system that could easily snap onto An intuitive pump drains the bag-in-box, improving residual volumes compared to the original gravity/pressure based design.

The empty box can be used to gather paper when the soapbag is empty. This extends the life cycle and also provides the

raw material to produce the box.

ed to gather

provides the

box. the box.

Encaustic Art Pen Redesign 2nd Bachelor Artesis

An encaustic art pen was given to

examine and redesign. Encaustic art is performed by heating colored wax, and then painting or writing with the liquifi ed medium.The original pen was a modifi ed soldering iron that was barely suitable for precision tasks as in drawing. Analysis exposed the need for a more ergonomic pen with a more precise grip.

The result is an ergonomically shaped pen suitable for both left- and right-handed artists. The

excentered shape provides support at the thumb joint, which also reduces the risk of the fi ngers sliding to the heated pen tip.A little tool can be used to retrieve the pen tip. All the equipment can be stored in a holder.

Pencil & Digital Drawing Various Works, Artesis

The most valuable aspect of a product developer is the ability to think and

communicate through images. I am capable of doing this from fast, rough idea sketches to digital or digitally

enhanced drawings.

Pencil & Digital Drawing Various Works, Artesis

I made these drawings using Autodesk

Sketchbook Pro and Adobe Photoshop. Digital drawings are a great tool for adding aesthetic detail to ideas or concepts. They give better visual information and are great to explore material and color usage. They take more time to produce, so I fi nd them suitable when ideas or concept achieve more maturity, or when a strong visual

language is desired.

Ana l ysis & Registration of Behavioura l

Responses to Bodi l y-near, Stigmatising Products Masterthesis in Design Research, Artesis University College Supporting doctoral research of K. Vaes

I am very convinced that a strong vision and product insight are one of the most important keys to succesful development. That is why I chose to conduct a design research for my masterthesis.

A stigma can be described as a ‘deeply ashaming, discrediting attribute’.Besides market research and methodologies, there is no known iterative method to obtaining an indication of the degree of stigmatisation induced by products. Though product designers can strongly benefit from this information. Reducing stigma can alter acceptance, desirability, and user-friendliness to otherwise respulsive products. Picking the least stigmatising design creates strategic selling proposition for the customer.I developped the fundaments of a registration and analysis method for product developers. Multiple, early to mature prototypes can be rapidly verified. The tool has been assesed with dust/medical masks.

Ana l ysis & Registration of Behavioura l Responses to Bodi l y-near, Stigmatising Products Masterthesis in Design Research, Artesis University College Supporting doctoral research of K. Vaes

The tool focusses on avoidance-responses of the passers-by. By measuring interpersonal distance and unaware choices on the walking path, an indication of stigma can be obtained. ‘The Stain Dilemma’ and ‘Discriminating Dyadic Distances’ are both tests designed for use by product developers.

The inelaborate tests are conducted in a natural city-environment with apparent absence of the researcher. Wireless measuring systems and test forms are designed to insert and analyze data without knowlegde of statistical matter.

The visualisations help the product developer in verifi ying and re? ecting on a range of product concepts..

3-Modelling and rendering

Philips Philishave

In the courses of 3D-modelling with Rhino 4.0, I chose to model a Philips Philishave HQ 6849. This was a good product to learn smooth surface transitions and organic shape modelling. With this finished model I started to learn rendering with V-Ray and Keyshot. These final images were rendered with Keyshot Pro 2.

3-Modelling and rendering

Poules De Luxe

Rendering was something I thought it was fun to learn and improve. Shortly after learning the basics for V-Ray, I got offered to make invitation cards for a luxurious dining event called Poules de Luxe, Rotary Opsinjoor Mechelen.

I thought it would be fun to experiment with 3D-objects and rendering in my graphic design activities. In the final result, I used a 3D-scanned sculpture of a chicken to produce this vintage, luxurious-looking image. It was rendered with V-Ray, and touched up with Photoshop. The image was then blended in the graphic design of the invitation card.

Autonomous Robot Arduino Programming, Prototyping and Electronica

Within this course, an Arduino-based robot had to be built. It had to be capable of detecting a golf ball in a rectangular field, with only a black line on the outer boundaries. Once it was detected, the ball had to be transported to a rectangular hole in the field.

We decided to not detect it at random, but instead using and selecting our sensor combination carefully. The finaland creative result included a homemade LDR-based sensor that could detect contrast changes, such as a golf ball. With a laser and an tweaked optocoupler, we made a laser gate. Eventually the robot followed a reliable, structured process of searching, detecting, catching and transporting the ball in under one minute and ultimately achieving it’s goal.

Brand identity

Liersepoort butcher’s shop and traiteur

I was contacted to update the brand

identity of this butcher’s shop and traiteur.

They wanted a clean and modern look

[LIERSEPOORT//KLANTENKAART] that was also inspired an suitable with

the look and feel of the interior. With this

information I created a typical style and

graphic guidelines.

Logo Design

Youth Club Elawaat

As a member and being active as a

graphic designer for youth club ‘Elawaat’,

I created this logo. A dynamic and fresh

look shaped the new style that would be

used for future events.

Calorlux

This ambient lighting device will be activated by holding and throwing it in hot water, as in bathtubs. This concept was developed during Workshopweek 2011 by Tom Verbist within the Philips workshop assisted by Tom Wauters .

The device has it’s function granted by the Seebeck

effect, transduction of temperature differences to

electricity. The component that hereby should be

used is called a peltier plate. This is also more fre-

quently used as a cooling element in electronic

devices. Since the effect of generating sufficient

energy is still low, this product concept

is only a future vision .

Spinning the rubber wheel clockwise will able you to pick a colour within the spectrum you like. Spinning the wheel counterclockwise sets the intensity

of the light.Hold the Calorlux ball under hot water for a few seconds to activate the peltier plate and LED. As the inner parts of the ball heat up, drop it in the hot bath water. The device will float. Cooling fins ond the upper side will provide a cold side for the peltier plate, the hot water and the hot LED aluminium parts will keep the inner part warm so the peltier plate provides electricity untill the ball is saturated when you leave the bath.

Only heat is used as a power source, pulling this concept away from traditional lighting locations and equipement, making this ambient lighting

playful and independent.

Ambient Light Workshop Philips Workshop during Workshopweek Artesis 2011

The workshopweek in the Artesis department for Product Development invited the students to explore the possibilities of sustainable lighting. Within this week, various concept designs had to be created.

This concept card is the result of my exploration: an ambient lighting device called ‘Calorlux’. The temperature of hot bath water heats op Peltier-plates, generating electricity. This is used to create an ambient, indirect light that illuminates the bath water and provides extensive user experience.
