Designing robots is more than aesthetics, it shapes how they’re perceived, trusted, and accepted by users. To create robots that fit their context and enhance acceptance, it’s essential to understand what influences trust and comfort.

So, you’ve built a prototype using an Arduino, a Raspberry Pi, and a generous amount of duct tape. It works (most of the time), impresses stakeholders, and even makes investors nod approvingly. But now, reality kicks in—how do you scale this into a reliable, production-ready electronic system?

Start-ups operate in a world of rapid changes and constant challenges. Developing an innovative product, effectively positioning a brand, and attracting the right investors require not only time but also specialized knowledge and experience.

With 2025 already underway, it's time to explore the major developments and design trends that we see are set to shape the future of professional products. These trends are not short-lived but come from long-term changes and will stay relevant well beyond 2025, adapting in new and exciting ways.

Strength and stiffness calculations are a powerful tool in product development. They are not only part of the process to achieve the best design, but also a validation tool for product certifications.

Prototyping is an essential part of the design process. Yet we often see some common mistakes being made that can be easily avoided. Here are five mistakes we'd like to share with you.
