The challenge
In a parallel universe, it's the year 2025, and humanity has been establishing settlements on the Moon for the better part of a decade. Everyday life in the lunar colonies would be impossible without Hexabots-ingenious, multi-purpose robots that are crucial to survival in this unforgiving environment.
How manage and ultimate task in easily and fast manner?

User Personas
Who need to manage their Hexabots? Both families and teams of explorers rely on these tireless companions to perform a wide variety of tasks, from mining precious resources to growing crops and exploring uncharted craters.

Benchmark
During the design process, an inspirational benchmark was carried out, some evidence of which can be found in the design choices of the prototype:
Uber: step-by-step view and pick-up customisation of taxi ride;
Waymo app: makes trust and personalisation to a self-driving taxi;
Deliveroo: standardisation and guiding the process of finalising a takeaway order;
Amazon Prime: step-by-step view of the progress made and milestones monitoring.

Scenario
A research team in one of the lunar colony’s science domes is working on a prototype turbine using a silicon 3D printer. However, they lack the specific materials needed to complete the project. The user opens the app to manage the Hexabots and starts on the homepage, where they check the status of each Hexabot with all related info. Their goal is to quickly ensure that a Hexabot is tasked with gathering the necessary resources. Once this is accomplished, the user then monitors the Hexabot’s progress, receiving updates when it has collected the materials and returned to the dome after completing the task.

Conclusion
Even though I did not win, taking part in this challenge was exciting. Little time, lots of ideas, lots of design choices I might have made differently with more time, I love projects where time dictates instinctive and spontaneous choices.
