Zippy - World's Smallest Bipedal Robot

Overview

For Zippy, a STEM toy robot initiative at Carnegie Mellon University, I worked on assessing whether the product should be built—and how. My contributions included conducting market research, performing sensitivity and feasibility analyses, and translating findings into actionable insights for product direction. This work required balancing educational value, technical constraints, and cost considerations, while grounding recommendations in real user and market data. The experience strengthened my ability to evaluate early-stage products before execution, an essential skill for building scalable and meaningful technology.
