The Objective To design and engineer a friendly, futuristic robot mascot for Forseo that acts as a highly responsive brand ambassador. The goal was to create a visually polished character that reacts in real-time to user interactions, blending high-quality animation with complex web logic.

The Solution & Process I led the end-to-end creation of this interactive character using Rive. To ensure the mascot’s metallic design and digital expressions felt alive and responsive, my workflow included:

Advanced Character Rigging: Built a flexible, robust rig tailored to the robot's 3D-style geometry, optimized for fluid movement and lightweight web performance on a transparent canvas.

State Machine Architecture: Engineered a complex state machine to handle the underlying logic for multiple interactive states, ensuring smooth behavioral shifts.

Data Binding Integration: Connected the character directly to user inputs, allowing the mascot's large, expressive eyes and body language to react dynamically to real-time data rather than relying on static loops.

Expressive Behaviors: Includes smooth, character-driven animations that bring the screen-faced robot to life across idle, listening, and talking states.

Seamless Transitions: Fluidly shifts between emotions and actions instantly based on user triggers.
