This case study is currently evolving alongside the physical system itself.

Rather than documenting a finished product, this page will capture an ongoing exploration into how humans communicate intent, interpret feedback, and build trust with embodied computational systems.

The project involves a 3D-printed robotic hand and heart controlled through a custom iOS application, and focuses on foundational interaction elements such as agency, response, timing, and internal state.

Updates to this case study will reflect real design decisions, constraints, and learnings as both the hardware and interaction models continue to develop.
