Project Website

HotSpot is an ETC project in partnership with robotics company Boston Dynamics. BD would like to change people’s ideas of what robots can do. Our team aims to explore and create an entertaining experience for Spot, a nimble robot designed for various functional purposes. We’re building a compelling game where Spot not only interacts with the physical space but also connects with humans emotionally, leveraging Spot’s mobility and dog-like appearance.
