Important results from the project
Before the start of the project we weren´t sure that our hypothesized theoretical foundation would work or that our envisioned end product would be valuable enough to motivate investment. During the project we have successfully developed our prototype of a autonomous sweeping robot to a degree that enables probing of the of value of the envisioned end product. The tests and the interviews that followed suggested that the envisioned end product has great market potential. The tests also confirmed we, technology-wise, are on the right track towards autonomous sweeping.
Expected long term effects
We have developed our prototype to a degree that enables serious discussions with potential stakeholders. We have also internally proved that the problem is technologically solvable and that we are on the right track towards a valuable product.
Approach and implementation
We have used an interative process during the project, which has proved to be efficient. Focusing on repeatedly creating a testable prototypes has given us concrete goals to strive towards, and has also given us valuable feedback each time it was tested. It was also suitable to divide the work into different domains and work in parallel, which enabled simultaneous progress within technological development, design work and corporate networking.
