About me.
Who I am.
Hi, dear reader! I’m Tom Verbist, currently a product design student at the Integral Product Development departement of Artesis university college of Antwerp. My homebase is located in Elewi j t near Mechelen, Belgium.
With a multidisciplinary approach, I make sure your product has a solid and innovative design. In other words, I work with a well-structured design process, solving the ideation all the way
to end-user product. The outcome of this method guarantees a technical, economical and functional stability.I consider myself being a teamplayer and I have a broad interest in design and design-related challenges, so I would love to join in on the exciting projects you have to offer. You can fi nd my coordinates in the ‘Contact me’ Section. Thank you!

Product Case:
Robotic Wine Serving
Smart Mechanics Artesis
The goal of this student project was
creating a robot capable of serving
food or drinks. Within this context,
I created a wine-serving robot
that operates in classy and
trendy restaurants. It is capable
of transporting and serving two
types of wine, while displaying their
characteristics and background
information. The user can either
choose to taste the wine or fi ll the
glass according to their needs.
The robot has been given the
right dimensions, acquired through
restaurant observation and critical
distance measuring. In this way, the
robot operates in the user’s zone of
convenient reach and is very mobile
within the restaurant. The main
challenge was to create a valuable
and yet low-production-cost product
due to the small product series.
