ROBO LABROBOT DESIGN & HUMAN EXPERIENCEINDEPENDENT STUDIO / GIMPO, KOREA
Open for project enquiriesRobot design. Exterior styling. Human-robot experience.
Shaping how robots look, move and respond.
A robot is more than a mechanism. It has a presence, a purpose and a way of meeting people.
SEOK ROBO LAB is an independent robot design studio founded by a designer with robot design experience at Hyundai and Kia. We bring an automotive understanding of proportion, surfaces, packaging and human use to a new generation of robots.
We take on robot design, exterior styling and the complete interaction concept: physical form, movement, voice, expression and response. Digital development and hands-on mockups help teams review the robot as a product and as an experience.
Bring us your robot briefDesign support across robot categories, from an early product concept to defined surfaces, mockups and interaction specifications.
01 / WEARABLE ROBOTICS
Design development for industrial exoskeletons and wearable assistance systems. We study body fit, donning and removal, movement clearance, weight distribution and the appearance of the robot around the person.
02 / DOMESTIC ROBOTICS
Approachable robots for everyday environments. We shape product architecture, exterior surfaces, touchpoints and interaction cues so that a robot’s purpose and state are easy to understand.
03 / INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS
Design for factory and professional settings, including collaborative robots, mobile platforms and task-specific systems. Covers, interfaces, access points and visual communication are developed around the engineering brief.
04 / ADULT COMPANION ROBOTICS
Design development for adult companion and sex robots: physical form, materials, voice, personality and responsive behaviour. Interaction concepts address privacy, clear consent, personal boundaries and user control.
Each programme defines the intended users, operating context, engineering interfaces and deliverables. Design scope and prototype methods are agreed for the project.
FROM DIGITAL FORM TO PHYSICAL FEEDBACK
A wearable robot is experienced through every contact point. A physical mockup makes fit, reach, volume and movement easier to discuss than a screen alone.
We build and refine appearance models, ergonomic mockups and interaction prototypes, bringing the design back to the person who will use it.
Explore a prototype programmeWe design how a robot introduces itself, signals intent, listens and responds. Every channel should feel like the same character.
01 / PRESENCE
Proportion, posture, face architecture, light and display cues. A clear visual identity, from across a room to a close interaction.
02 / VOICE
Voice character, language style, tone, pacing and non-verbal sound. Conversation flows that suit the robot’s role and the user’s context.
03 / MOVEMENT
Movement character, gaze direction, approach distance and gesture timing. Behaviour concepts developed with the controls and engineering teams.
04 / RESPONSE
Touch, acknowledgement, state changes and recovery when something goes wrong. Clear ways to pause, decline, interrupt and regain control.
Typical outputs include robot character guidelines, interaction storyboards, voice and sound briefs, behaviour state maps and prototypes for user review.
A collaborative design process that keeps the physical product and the human experience moving together.
Define users, tasks, environments, engineering constraints and the intended character of the robot.
Explore packaging, proportion and surfaces alongside voice, movement and interaction scenarios.
Use digital models, physical mockups and behaviour prototypes to review the experience with your team.
Refine agreed feedback and hand over the scoped CAD data, models and interaction documentation.
