The Nokbot was the final product of a student project I accomplished as part of a team, in collaboration with the Nokia 5G Futures Lab. The project was delivered as part of the studio subject Design in Mechanical and Mechatronic Systems.

Our work was showcased at a Tech Council of Australia networking event and the then CTO of Nokia Oceania, Robert Joyce.

The group was tasked by the Nokia 5G Futures Lab Manager, Tristan Lee, to “produce a visually engaging design to showcase 5G connectivity and Nokia’s collaborative relationship with UTS”. The team conceptualised and produced a 5G enabled autonomous robot equipped with an Intel RealSense camera and LiDAR scanner. This robot demonstrated the capability of high throughput communication over 5G (>800 MB/S down-link on a private network) by streaming the high-definition camera image and point-cloud data to a cloud computing node. Our demonstration showcased real time visualisation of the data collected by the robot, and presented a framework for future students to perform further processing and off-board decision making.

This opportunity allowed me to apply engineering design processes to a real world problem and experience a real client relationship. Identifying and isolating the client’s needs, apply and engineering solution, and actively engaging with stakeholders.
