Welcome back to the blog! This week has been a whirlwind of activity for our team, with a special focus on the physical beak prototype and preparations for the prototype inspection day the past Tuesday.

One of the highlights of this week was the long-anticipated reveal of our beak prototype. Our team has been tirelessly working on this crucial component, so that the beak prototype looks like a beak, and generate beak movement according to the input audio. Take a look at a demonstration video below!

More importantly, we received invaluable feedback from professional judges at the Prototype Inspection Day showcase. It is rewarding and reassuring to see the judges impressed with our physical prototype. At the same time, we received useful suggestions such as how to improve the team’s workflow and task management, risks associated to the design, advices on prototype testing etc. Parrotronix compiled the judges feedback and is finding ways to implement these suggestions to our work!
