WORX.OF.I / Project 05

Robotic Programming
Platform

Goal: Rapid task creation with no-code.

The initial programming platform Desk

01 / THE GOAL

Make complex robot tasks simple.

At Franka Robotics, the mission was to develop a user-friendly, browser-based interface that empowered users to quickly and easily create complex robotic tasks without coding expertise.

  • Intuitive drag-and-drop interface for pre-built apps.
  • Simplified configuration and robot pose teaching.
  • Rapid task execution immediately after creation.

02 / MY ROLE

Strategy, research, and interaction design.

Product strategy and design concept, user-centric design and research, cross-functional collaboration with product management and product owners, and validation and usability testing before release.

03 / THE PROCESS

From prototype to a programmable workspace.

Prototyping and wireframing, visual design support, responsive design, accessibility evaluation, and an iterative design process based on user feedback and testing.
