Robot form factor misaligned with usage scenarios
Home, office, and commercial scenarios differ in scale and intimacy; appearance is one-size-fits-all.
Three-step solution method
- Analyze scenario space, user roles, and expectations of robot responsibilities.
- Develop combinations of scale, interface placement and visual cues.
- Use models and scenario walkthroughs to compare how well people understand and accept the robot’s role.
Key Deliverables
- Contextual Meaning Study
- Form Models
- Review records
Verification Approach
Compare understanding of the robot’s role, willingness to approach and disruption to the surrounding space.
