Abstract

Smart Sweeping robots (represented by the letter A&B) were selected in this study to compare the interface design. Twelve volunteers (5 males and 7 females) from 17 to 46 years old were recruited to complete the set-use tasks in a simulated living room environment. The evaluation results between 2 Smart Seeping robots that based on user experience were significant differences in certain aspects, which might be the result of the distinction of interface design. Interface layout, terminology & graphical symbols and their visibility, information transfer and feedback all affected the results. Then we used different design theories to analyze and evaluate these aspects and proposed some improvement measures.
