By now we're accustomed to seeing robot arms used in manufacturing. The aesthetic, if they can be said to have one, is form follows function:
However, Ross Lovegrove has posted this teaser vid of an eye-catching model he's designed, using generative AI:
Are you seeing what I'm seeing? The metal frame actually flexes!
DEOND, by the way, is the creative partnership between Lovegrove and creative director/artist/strategist Ila Colombo.
There's no word on what specifically they've created this arm for, they'll only say: "We are pioneering innovative and impact-driven design and architecture solutions that transform imagination into reality. Building a more conscious, beautiful and intelligent future."

Looks fake, number of holes in the frame changes near the joints. Impossible to exist in reality
AI is great for that. Check out any upscaled video that... ah... has a larger than average quantity of exposed human skin if you will, and enjoy the Cronenbergian shifting of pores and hairs.
Can we stop calling people who use AI "designers"? They obviously have no desire to actually design anything.
the whole video is ai-generated. there is nothing tangible here
Hello, thanks for the feature! Only just found it. Indeed we are working to re-invent robotic 3D-printing and we have partnered with a few technology companies to bring to visions new capabilities of fuse filament fabrication and shape-memory alloys. The teaser is indeed AI generated but it shouldn't take away from the extensive work we are doing in advanced R&D. in addition, Ross Lovegrove himself doesn't need to further prove his 'designer' status after decades of ground breaking work and hundreds of Design and Innovation awards.
A flexing robot arm! Depressing or amusing depending on one's perspective.
