Hello, I’m Harold Walsh, an Industrial Designer from Australia with a focus on product strategy. My expertise lies in applying the voice of the customer to technically complex solutions. I have skills that span the entire design process from intial conceptualisation and visualisation, to design for manufacture, development and engineering. My background has enabled me to excel in designing user-friendly human-robot interactions.

2. Boston Dynamics Spot




       BD Spot Design

While working with SoftBank,  I identified and developed scalable use cases and managed sales, importation and deployment for Boston Dynamics Spot in the Australian and New Zealand markets.  From 2017 - 2021, Boston Dynamics was wholly owned by my former employer, SoftBank Group. From June 2021, Hyundai Motor Group acquired 80% of the company, SoftBank Group retains 20% of Boston Dynamics and remains committed to helping commercialise their technologies.  Prior to this, I helped build global value and increased market traction for Boston Dynamics. I worked closely with the Rocos team in New Zealand, as cloud service provider for Boston Dynamics and UAS ahead of their aquisition by DroneDeploy. 


Some of the roles and activites I performed included :

  • Sales engineer and market entry strategist, clients in a variety of industrial settings such as government, academia, energy and food production.
  • Feasibility studies and prioritisation of automation task concepts via change consulting and workshops. 
  • Design for Manufacture of custom payload mounting systems
  • Hardware integration and testing
  • 360 spherical footage capture, editing and spatial mapping to create simulation planning environments.


The skills and experience I developed from this:

  • Coordinating discovery workshops with clients to identify latent and emergent needs to be converted to products
  • Prioritising change management and 6Sigma continuous improvement projects
  • Greater familiarity with robotics concepts such as “Always on” and SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation And Mapping)
