Partner Accessories
When the Coronavirus hit in the spring of 2020, Fetch Robotics switched gears and partnered with two companies willing to help combat the spread of the virus by autonomously disinfecting indoor private and pubic places. One company adopted UV technology, while another used foggers to disburse a non-hazardous chemical to kill the virus. I was tasked with helping to design these new accessories.
Partner One: Chemical Disinfectant
We worked with a partner that wanted to use two off-the-shelf fogging units to disburse a disinfectant chemical. This accessory had more requirements to meet compared to the LED solution. With internal tanks, the robot had to be protected from overflow and spills while the chemical is being replenished. Additionally, ventilation was needed to keep the foggers cool.
Final Design
RUClean2 was a short lived name for this product. The name quickly changed to Breezy 1. A screen was later requested for a custom UI to start the robot workflow and to monitor the fill level of the tanks.
Unfortunately, because of budget constraints and a short timeline, this design never materialize outside an initial prototype. Breezy 1 is operating today, but the sheetmetal skins are very different from what Fetch Robotics proposed.
Breezy 1 Branding Concept
Along with the final CAD concept, I also provided branding concepts for Breezy 1. Including a way to scale their product line with unified branding under a subsidiary company to make it more clear on what their business solutions are with this accessory and future accessories. Additionally, I updated their blue to convey cleanliness and safety – to all-around brighten their brand for a positive message during a dark time in history.

Marketing Poster
The first deployment for Breezy One was in a small airport in New Mexico. I have always been inspired by midcentury airline and destination posters. My intention behind this poster was to instill confidence that Fetch Robotics and our partner were working hard to keep people safe from getting infected by Covid-19.
Partner Two: UV Disinfecting Lights
These renderings were provided while the partner was deciding between UV florescent tubes and LED lights. Ultimately, LEDs proved to be more effective while reducing the power consumption allowing the robot to have a longer run time.
