HARDWARE + INTERACTION / AUGUST 2019–JANUARY 2020

LiveClawDropBot

Bringing a physical machine into a shared online experience.

The project

As lead developer, I worked on a crane bot that allowed permitted viewers to control physical hardware through commands connected to a video-streaming service.

My contribution

The system brought together a Raspberry Pi, Wi-Fi connectivity, and the Twitch API to bridge viewer commands and machine control. I also oversaw the development team.

The focus

Connecting software interactions to a physical device, coordinating a small team, and building an experience that reaches beyond the screen.

Project summary based on my resume. A public demo is not currently available.
