ETC sponsor project - Cozplay

ETC Project Website: Cozplay

Cozplay was a semester long project at the Entertainment Technology Center. I worked in a team of five as a programmer to design and implement games for Anki’s Cozmo robot. Details about the project along with progress updates can be found via newsletters on the project website.

As a programmer, I rapidly prototyped ideas with my team to test Cozmo’s features while circumventing several technical limitations. I quickly adapted to Cozmo’s SDK (alpha version) which was a Python interface that communicated with the robot via Anki’s proprietary messaging service. After some basic prototypes with Cozmo’s cubes, I explored possibilities by integrating the robot with other Python modules like Twilio and tech like Makey Makey.

Our project was a key driver of early development on Anki’s Cozmo SDK. Our projects were published on the official forums where they fostered a lot of discussion and our team also made the decision to make all of our work open-source: Cozplay Github

Due to the lack of an artist on the team, I also filled in for the role by creating branding materials for the project:
