Background
Each generation of the Management of Product Development class is challenged to integrate theoretical knowledge into hands-on projects by developing an autonomous transportation system called PLUTO.
PLUTO 6.0
We developed the PLUTO 6.0, an autonomous beer delivery robot that offers contactless deliver service within KIT campus.

My Contribution
I built a customer-facing App MVP, achieved end-to-end user flow for local beer ordering. I collaborated with engineer Jannis to develop data protocols, enabled Pluto to deliver orders placed on the app.
Roadmap
The key activities in this app development project are outlined below. For each activity, I utilised the problem-solving tool SPALTEN, which is similar to Design Thinking and Systems Thinking.
Use case study
The Mechanical team and I visited the campus to interview 6 students on the street and 2 staff members in the AKK (campus bar) office.
User journey map->MVP App functions->APP flow chart
During the workshop, I worked closely with my teammates to develop a comprehensive user journey map. From this map, I identified the key functions for MVP and crafted the flowchart for the APP, facilitating a seamless transition to UI design and development.
Build applications faster then ever
For the development tool, I selected FlutterFlow, Firebase support makes it easy to connect the PLUTO app to live data. I also use the API support to connect with Google cloud and Stripe.
