Aldebaran Romeo by Faris Elmasu

I could finally release a project I worked on studying abroad in Paris at ENSCI. Five teams took part of the development of the project by designing "Romeo" for Aldebaran, elderly robotic aid. Looks pretty similar to my project I presented back in 2009. Glad to see they took design cues from my work.

First Sketches I did at ENSCI

My Final Design presented to Aldebaran at the end of the semester. 

BAE Joint Light Tactical Vehicle by Faris Elmasu

I am finally able to post a project I was apart of while interning for BAE Systems in Santa Clara back in 2009. I was part of a team of industrial design and human factor engineers building a full scale ergonomic testing prototype. My job was to take blue prints from mechanical engineers to mock up components that would be used for human factors testing.

Concepts and Renders by Faris Elmasu

I always find it amazing how many ideas you have to push through in order to find that right solution. Here are a number of concepts I've modeled that never made it through to retail for various reasons.
