Final work - History and consequences.

What is happening in 2116?

We are a high tech robot company which is highly established, we are producing robots that are doing jobs for public services which has been happening over a period of time, this means that there have been replacements to jobs over that period of time.

Creating a more advance society, which means that it gives humans more free time to be creative and have creative jobs, more towards science and art sectors. This has created some job loses which has led to some members of society feeling excluded, rebelling against the changes, and the government and our company Actuator Laboratories.

Company ethos & History

Our company ethos is to improve human society and enable the improvement within the job sectors that are particularly dangerous, manually demanding and mundane. The high-spec and state of the art robotics are environmentally friendly, low-maintenance and are designed solely to aid the public.

On the contrary, our idealistic society has inevitably caused conflict and an elitist class-divide within our community. Those of a poorer background have been left out of work and now feel useless and redundant. The cities which are equipped and optimised by our intervention, have abundant and efficient services, this is only available to the ‘elite’ and richer citizens. The poor are left to live in shanty and unkempt locations where the nexus of the rebellion movement thrives.

Possible Utopian Future

With Robots taking over more and more manual tasks leaving humanity more time spent on science, technology, art and design would this create a Utopian future? And what would that look like?

Things hypothesized that only humans would be focused on and towards in this future rather than manual labour (Its not all bad!):

Completed badges.

The design depicts our company logo, using the initials as a design source. We deliberately choose to have quite a polished and professional look as this reflects the public facing perception our company wishes the public to see. The silver badges could be used for the public who purchase a Home Robot, whilst the Perspex badges could be used for employees of the company.
Possible improvements for the badge design could be; using a brooch bar clasps instead of the button pin for the silver badge. This would prevent the badge from being lost. Maybe etching a surface detail on to both or just the silver design, such as the name of the company or a company division/department name. Could rivet a back plate such as anodised aluminium, or titanium to the Perspex badges.
