Abstract

This paper aims to explore the interactive design methods for children’s companion robots by applying cognitive psychology theories. First of all, the researchers conduct an investigation, which analysis from the perspective of cognitive psychology. In combination with the users’ aesthetic requirements, habits and physiological laws, the user demands in product design are reasonably analyzed. Then use cognitive psychology to observe the using process of children. Design information is obtained by investigating perception, thinking and operational process of users. Finally, combined with the user model of design object groups, a targeted interaction mode is developed and verified by the product design practice. The article transforms the traditional design thinking of “machine-oriented” into “people-oriented”, which has guiding significance for the future interactive design of other robot products.
